Blatant dwm logo ripoff?
Gotta start somewhere! 😁
was just gonna suggest that :joy:
Blatant dwm logo ripoff?
I second this. Also, nice job on the mockup. I'd suggest to use this as the logo and be done with it.
I'm not a pro but I tried some simple idea
This gave me another idea, made a quick mockup of it
couple of examples. although I feel like none of them work well.
@notthewave IMHO this on the right is the best and nicely corresponding to dwm 🥇
problem: lower case, capital, capital
or or rename: dwc (dynamic wayland compositor) but I believe dwc is already reserved
Blatant dwm logo ripoff?
I guess the thing I'm hesitant about with this approach is that it is so similar that it seems to imply some connection to the official dwm project. (Maybe that's just me?) What if we change up the style slightly?
Compresses well too:
_
| / |
___| , , | |
/ , | | |/
L__.|__|__|./ L/
oooh i like this one

What the dwm logo achieves:
What the dwm logo does not archive:
(the dwl logo on discord does that)
suckless style programs allow you to be quite creative (simple base but near endless conf. possibilities), hence it might be a good idea to create a logo that is similar to the one wterm has.
(Maybe there are some UTF-8 char. that have such a shape)
PS: dwc does not seem to be used at least not in any notable wayland projects
I like how @paperbenni was using the yellow background to imply that it's for wayland, just my 2c
i second @paperbenni 's mockup, with a few fixes (the L isnt properly connected to the rest of the logo)
Here is the one I made
In my opinion the general layout from discord logo is the best since it clearly shows what dwl is about but I think it needs some tweaks. If someone could make a few variants it'd be great.
Still stick with @paperbenni idea, I just can't get it out of my head :|
Just the same, but with wayland's logo color.

I think that dwl logo should be simple i.e. no round edges because it should show that it's a rough and simple thing just like dwm. Using yellow (which shade is an open discussion) color somewhere in logo is a good idea because of wayland. Your logo looks good but I can't feel suckless vibe in it.
Also I'd consider adding some "roots" like tree has roots (if possible of course). It'd show that it's based on wlroots. But it has to be simple too.

This is awesome, I second this all the way!
dwm has a cool logo. We should too! Ideas?
