Project Logo #81

Closed jimmac closed 5 years ago

jimmac commented 5 years ago

Apparently no project is taken seriously before it has a logo. Let's figure that one out.

jimmac commented 5 years ago

Here's a couple of initial sketches / ideas:

Wrench

Hex silhouette

Terminal

debarshiray commented 5 years ago

I love them all, but I have a slight preference for the hex silhouette.

jimmac commented 5 years ago

Few attempts at combining the wrench and the commandline have made me rethink the extruded 3d shape. A flat 2D shape is probably way more clear and inline with what Silverblue is using.

Fedora_Toolbox 5 Fedora_Toolbox 4

These are too complex for their own good.

jimmac commented 5 years ago

Another approach -- using the Silverblue silhouette, a dot grid with a prompt.

Fedora_Toolbox 7

debarshiray commented 5 years ago

Thanks a lot for working on these, @jimmac !

Note that we dropped the fedora prefix from the project name and it's now just toolbox, but I don't mind having a subtle tip of the hat to recognize Fedora's pioneering role in this area.

jimmac commented 5 years ago

Not particularly keen on this one, but it is a tangent that's perhaps worth sharing.

So far I we're still at the exploratory stage, no clear direction apart from:

jimmac commented 5 years ago

Some more explorations with a stronger link to the Silverblue logo.

matthiasclasen commented 5 years ago

I don't think we want a too strong association with silverblue here - the toolbox is going to be shared with coreos

very hexstickerable! :)

debarshiray commented 5 years ago

Yes, I love this purple wrench in a purple hexagon!

debarshiray commented 5 years ago

@jimmac are we at a stage where we can settle around the "purple wrench in a purple hexagon" idea?

jimmac commented 5 years ago

A little straight forward, but if you're happy, I'm happy.

debarshiray commented 5 years ago

Yes, I am happy! :)

Are you planning to create some variants? eg., a more horizontally stretched out image would fit better in README.md.

jimmac commented 5 years ago

Initial stab at some guidelines:

debarshiray commented 5 years ago

We now have various variants of the "white wrench in a purple hexagon" and guidelines for using them in master. Closing.
