A new logo for the PeaceFounder project #23

Closed JanisErdmanis closed 6 months ago

The current logo design is inspired by a twisted rope showing three individual strands from a side, which, for future reference, is as follows: logo-large-1

The logo was drawn on a reMarkable tablet, imported in Inkscape, and simplified. The logo which is used in GitHub has the following look:

where the boundary is being added automatically by the Orion browser, which looks quite elegant.

Unfortunately, the asymmetry is quite visible and contributes an unproven significantly to the unprofessional look. It was improved a little for the PeaceFounderAdmin panel: g16023239

I have been trying to generate the logo from the ground up with Luxor and got the following:

Which does look unrecognisable as a twisted rope.

Taking the two lines away helps in making the logo more pleasant to the eyes: Untitled2 I tried to colour the logo in the following ways:

The code is published on a gist. However, the result is still unsatisfying.

Experimenting with the colouring of the boundary with a darker colour: logo

Here is another option which tries to represent a three-strand chain braid:

Note that the second variation represents the current logo design idea:

Here is a set of logos in different variations on how the braid is represented: peacefounder-logo-set

Updated the new logo for GitHub:

With increased line width, the logo is now legible at smaller scales.

This looks interesting: peacefounder-medium

The client application could have the following icon:

Colours, though, would need to be adjusted. The background of the icon needs to be vectorised, which seems could be conveniently done with Luxor.

I made the logo lighter, and the bezels are smaller: peacefounder-client This will also be used for docs made by the documenter.

JanisErdmanis commented 6 months ago

The logo has been systematically updated. Old logo still remains for a client which will be updated shortly.
