add logo #37

Hey! So to learn how to create vector graphics I set myself the goal of designing a logo for an OSS project every week. While searching for a fitting first candidate I stumbled upon your repo and decided to give it a shot. You can find the result in this PR. The thinking behind the design was to lean into the toy theme a bit. So I took a classic database visualisation and "built it out of toy blocks." The idea behind this would be to use it as a logo in the README and such.

It's not perfect but showing you the result and "releasing" it that way is part of the goal. 🙂 If you don't like it or it doesn't fit your vision for the projects, that's fine! But I would love to hear what you think. I feel like the logo works best for smaller sizes btw.

Oh and cool project btw. 😄

Thank you, this is really cool! Love the concept! I’ll get it merged and integrated tomorrow.

@jonasmerlin I've added the logo to the main README, but downscaling it made it a bit blurry. Any chance you could render a 32x32 PNG from the original, and/or provide an SVG?

Thanks again!

@erikgrinaker Really glad you like it! And of course, I will export the SVG either this evening or tomorrow and open another PR.
