DSLR needs a SVG logo #41

Closed dimkr closed 10 years ago

dimkr commented 10 years ago

This logo could be used on the console (during boot), in documentation and in its homepage.

dbohdan commented 10 years ago

Okay, I'll bite! :smile: Here's my submission. logo-2-1-gray logo-2-2-gray The penguin is drawn to convey visually that this is a minimalistic Linux distribution. When the name is finalized one could add it as text to the logo, probably underneath the penguin graphic.

I've made two versions. If you choose them as your logo you can have either or both under a license we agree upon, e.g., CC BY 4.0. I'll then do a pull request or otherwise send you the source files (Inkscape SVG).

Nice work, I really like it. I think the second one is better, because it doesn't have black borders. I want this logo to appear during boot, so it should play nice with the black background.

Those are some wicked looking penguins.

Here's mine, somewhat creepy: drawing

Both would need an outline when viewed against a black background. E.g., logo-2-2 logo-2-1

dimkr commented 10 years ago

The second one looks great. I think it would be perfect with a slightly thinner border.

josefnpat commented 10 years ago

Makes me think "OBEY LINUX" haha.. Doesn't fit the projects ideals though, lol.

dbohdan commented 10 years ago

@dimkr Glad to hear that! The border is thick to look good when shrunk down to a smaller size.

logo-2-1 path19-4

(On the second one above the border was made slightly thinner prior to rasterization.)

How do you plan to display the logo during the boot sequence? If it's like in Knoppix you'd need a fairly prominent border for it to not blend into the background.

@josefnpat Huh!

dimkr commented 10 years ago

@dbohdan - yep, I want it to display as in Knoppix or DSL. I prefer public domain, but CC BY 4.0 is fine too.

dbohdan commented 10 years ago

I've added a light outline to the other penguin as well.

dimkr commented 10 years ago

I think the first one is cooler.

dimkr commented 10 years ago

I patched the kernel, so the first one is displayed during boot. I really like the result - if you want to license it under a CC license, it's fine for me.

Cool!

All right. I think CC BY is a pretty close equivalent of the MIT license for graphics (which I'm really glad you chose for the project, BTW!). Here's the source to the image you used: https://gist.github.com/dbohdan/7dd9a5457b106bd762b8. I don't want the gist to become the master copy of it so please include it in the repository in a manner you see fit rather than link to it.
