Thanks @asbenjamin for this. @kallyas @ushergodwin @ushergodwin @HassanBahati @mosespace what do you guys think. Personally I feel the colors are a bit unrepresentative. The reason we're using orange is because it's osca's theme color. Also I feel the middle stuff are a bit too complex, something as simple as just a single gear, or two to three of them in proportional sizes would be enough. I'd also suggest the font to be proportional, this looks a bit flattened. Thanks again for the PR, that's my review

thanks @asbenjamin , i second you about copyright issues...I seek to understand what inspiration we are having for the new logo. What message could be under the hood of our new logo?

So, on the color @ht-thomas, I am using orange and black, black is the secondary color. Orange the primary or main color.

@HassanBahati, the inspiration behind my design was that autobot will be for building multiple tools, and just wanted to play with the nodes, as you can see one has a robot and the other has a database.

If you look at the logo itself, autobots orange spreads into each of those mentioned tools.

@asbenjamin do you think we could make it less complex just as @ht-thomas suggested...then also i feel like without an inclusion of a bot/robot like look diverts quite alot...most bots are represented by a robot-like head and i feel like the transformer head to a point brought out this.....since we are using the gears to bring out the building concept, not sure how we could add inclusion of a robot-like head with a gear maybe around it

For the sake of managing complexity, I thought it best to make autobot fulfill it's original goal, then we shall build other projects for automation and web called autoevents and autoweb respectively. So the moving gears can be for the autoevents framework, autobot can have a bot head if so, and autoweb will have it's own logo if so.

Any final thoughts and conclusions on this? @asbenjamin @ht-thomas @HassanBahati @ushergodwin

@ht-thomas so that means 3 different logos, okay. Let me work on the events and bot one. Which one comes first, autobot?

If autobot, I'll try to modify the current design and update this PR, then do the events one after c.c. @kallyas

ToebiasHT commented 1 year ago

@asbenjamin autobot comes first. The rest are still far from coding them yet

@asbenjamin

Try modifying the current design and let's really aim at that sofa. The-other will come after there coding process.

@ht-thomas

!I suggest the logo to favor both the dark and light mode.
