Algorithm Archive logo design #600

Feature Request

Logo for the Algorithm Archive

Description

We need a logo for the Algorithm Archive, so I figured we should (finally) create an issue on this and see what people have to say. Maybe we could put all the images here?

We are looking for a logo that has the best theme. I can get a "real artist" to make it ore professional in the end. That said, I would love if we could somehow put code to the design... But it's not that important.

For Algorithm Archive Developers

[x] This feature can be added to the Master Overview (if it cannot be, explain why in a comment below -- lack of technical expertise, not relevant to the scope of this project, too ambitious)
[ ] There is a timeline for when this feature can be implemented
[x] The feature has been added to the Master Overview
[ ] The feature has been implemented (Please link the PR)

Here are variations of my take on the AAA-logo. Some of you are probably already familiar with them, since they got created a few months ago and I shared them on Discord.

AAA_logo_idea_box_with_books_all

The logo itself consists of the three As of AAA/Arcane Algorithm Archive. However one A is replaced by stripes (so that you have two As and stripes), which gives the logo the appearance of a box of books. I think that quite nicely represents the idea of the Arcane Algorithm Archive.

This is my personal take on the logo, as posted on the discord sever and a slightly more worked out one. Original More worked out

Hey, I would like to contribute to it. Any particular specifications for the logo.?

leios commented 5 years ago

@NiveditJain Not really. We are just coming up with ideas right now. I would love to have some code to generate the logo or an svg or something.

I can also take the best idea and go to a graphic designer later.

These logos are great! I guess we should put this to a vote somehow? Should we collect any more logos before-hand?

Maybe we could wait until next week, but any more than that is highly unreasonable in my opinion, we should still try to keep the momentum we're currently having

leios commented 2 years ago

Proposal: I'll create a strawpoll (or something) and post it here as well as on twitter, discord, twitch, youtube, etc. We will let the poll go for a week and choose a logo from there.

Again, we might also change things down the road, but having something is way better than having nothing at all

Here is the google form: https://forms.gle/uJERSFbPGKMj57eq9

I will paste this on discord, twitter, etc...
