Closed lwjohnst86 closed 4 years ago

Image ideas:

Background with light code text? And AU CRU wording across top.

lwjohnst86 commented 5 years ago

Two logos? One "hex"/circular and another longer style for header of website?

logoCRU2

OR

logoCRU1

What do you think of these two? Any suggestion?

izabelcavassim commented 4 years ago

I liked the second the most :)

adivea commented 4 years ago

I like the first one for its simplicity and symbolism of building blocks. :)

lwjohnst86 commented 4 years ago

I just realized, the first logo is a bit similar to the Windows logo: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/08/microsoft-unveils-a-boxy-new-windows-inspired-logo-2/

We should probably change it up a bit, like the colours or something, to distinguish from Windows.

logoCRU2_b

how about this?

adivea commented 4 years ago

Hah, conditioning by Microsoft revealed! ;) I am very happy with new colors.

SaraTomiolo commented 4 years ago

ehehhe... the bias we don't know we have... sneaky!

lwjohnst86 commented 4 years ago

Hmm, not a huge fan of the purple and green colours (as a colour blind person). What about having the colours of the Git logo, the R logo, and the Python logo?

Looking at the Bash logo, the shape is similar to one of the designs we were thinking about before... Maybe make a logo of the colours of Git, R, and Python, in a Bash type shape? Just to see how it looks like.

lwjohnst86 commented 4 years ago

The yellow above already is like the Python logo, so no need to change that. But maybe the others?

SaraTomiolo commented 4 years ago

mmmh not convinced about the Bash logo idea. I think that the strength of this logo is the simplicity and the idea of building blocks (and Lego...) As to the colors you suggested, I can try, but then we will be close to windows ones again.

lwjohnst86 commented 4 years ago

Yea, I'm not a huge fan of the bash shape either.. just thinking it would be nice to incorporate the four main "tools" being taught... but not necessary! I also like the simplicity of the present one.

Yea, I know we'll be close the windows... but :man_shrugging: at least we have a rationale for why we chose the colours we did, maybe that would be good enough? Then again, Windows doesn't have a monopoly on the colours since, as you say, they also look like Lego blocks.

SaraTomiolo commented 4 years ago

But are we teaching bash and shell? And do we need to have a reason for choosing colors other than they are pretty and eye catching? :)

lwjohnst86 commented 4 years ago

We might teach bash and shell.. .they are definitely covered in the SWC/DC workshops!

And its true, we don't need a reason for the colours. :)

logo_options

SaraTomiolo commented 4 years ago

Choose one of the options: A,B,C, or D :)

lwjohnst86 commented 4 years ago

I think I like A best.

adivea commented 4 years ago

I like either B or D (mostly because I can read them more easily:)

lwjohnst86 commented 4 years ago

Alright, let's do B then! Thanks :grin:
