Idea: Create a generative logo for the internet identity that would reflect the anchor #842

As we are using the company logo instead of an application specific logo, I thought we could come up with a logo for Internet Identity that would reflect the uniqueness of the generated ID in the logo.

The MIT media lab for example has a logo that is generated: image

I would like to explore that idea.

I think we are using the logo of the Internet Computer, therefore I think it is the correct one. Double check on Slack if instead of the IC logo they would be interested to get logo per product.

Also note: the "company" is a foundation.

As the design-guidelines state the symbol alone (without the type) is meant to be used for ICP. (https://dfinity.frontify.com/d/XzkdhhDptijE/dfinity-brand-guide#/dfinity/logo) I assumed it was used out of necessity, there was probably none around when the project started.

nonetheless: As a first-time user it was confusing me. Without reading much about it and coming directly from the foundation website, I though it was simply some sort of login for the page itself.

I think its also due to the fact the logo is used so prominently within II.

Anyway feel free to ignore this issue, it is meant to be a reminder to myself to a) bring it up and b) explore ideas for it on my own time.

I just meant that we should clear the questions (isn't it the same logo? is there an initiative to have logo per dapps?) on slack before going further. Not against the idea at all personally but, before investing much effort, it is worth to double check these questions.
