Closed Satarupa22-SD closed 7 months ago

Satarupa22-SD commented 8 months ago

@IAlibay @orbeckst This pr is regarding the new logo for MDAkits. I have added the draft and this can be change as per the preference of the community. I have not altered any other files as it's still up for discussion. Please do let me know your thoughts, thanks!

Satarupa22-SD commented 8 months ago

@orbeckst thank you for reviewing my PR and explaining the guidelines. I will generate the new logo as directed by you.

orbeckst commented 8 months ago

@fiona-naughton @lilyminium @IAlibay do you have an idea what a MDAKits logo should look like?

@ianmkenney did you create something logo-like in your presentation, or some icons to represent MDAKits? I vaguely recall little boxes (like presents) or building blocks.

Hold off on doing more until we know that nobody else from our development team is already working on a logo.

(Just a general note: If you're creating a logo then you're really doing this more as a designer, so you should try to capture the essence of what an MDAKit is. Have a look at the paper https://doi.org/10.25080/gerudo-f2bc6f59-00a and everything else surrounding MDAKits. )

@orbeckst can you please take a look at this. I am still working on adding the suitable font. Thank you for your time.

orbeckst commented 7 months ago

The blue of the box does not fit the theme. Maybe make a box with each side being a different one of the logo colors?

The logo itself seems to float in front of the box so there's some disconnect. See if you can integrate the logo better.

@orbeckst thank you for pointing that out. I have updated the link with a new logo. Please check slide 3,4. I have used the different tones of orange colour to design the box. I am still experiment, will also try with different colours on different sides.

Satarupa22-SD commented 7 months ago

@orbeckst please check slide 6 as well. I have used the exact colour of the logo on the box.

Hello @Satarupa22-SD , thank you for your efforts here. We appreciate your initiative and drive to come up with a logo for MDAKits. After discussions with the development team we decided that we will handle branding including logos internally as this will allow us to better coordinate our overall branding strategy. Therefore, I will close this PR.

Sorry that it took a while to come to this conclusion. Thanks again for your work. I hope you will contribute in other ways to MDAnalysis.
