Logo!

[eklem]

We need a new logo since Forage is dead and Norch is back. Dawn of the dead!

[fergiemcdowall]

We do. I really want a square one with a brightly coloured background because I am ALL ABOUT THE LAPTOP STICKERS these days... ;)

[fergiemcdowall]

There is of course always:

Nice input and something to work with =)

[mewwts]

I'm all for laptop stickers and ASCII art!

[eklem]

With and without comment style. Made it a bit more condense.

Played around with the pig's snout, now eyes.

[fergiemcdowall]

Nice!

Does the pig snout play as well as it used to then the name was "Forage"? Since pigs forage for truffles, etc.

I wonder if we could come up with a smart motif for "Norch", or even "Node Search" (since Norch == "No de sear ch")

[eklem]

No, the snout doesn't play that well anymore =) Just wanted to test and figured they could be eyes. But that android looks a little sad.

Anyways... I'll try to figure out something with node and/or search without being to obvious.

[eklem]

So, here's one take on using a hexagon as the Node-reference.

The mesh/node network is just random rambling so far, but thought that a distributed node mesh had a nice logic to it:

[mewwts]

I really like the graphy feel of the second one. However, did you try writing out the o? In my head the o is missing, but then again that might be a really good thing to do to make a logo memorable, I guess!

[eklem]

Thanks @mewwts , I'll test some variations with/without the o.

[eklem]

And if we want to make "sub-logos":

[eklem]

So, work on the mesh... and then some colors. Any suggestions on nice color combinations?

[eklem]

Dropping the mesh for now. Feeling it will just be a really cheesy "this is some logo art"-stuff. Making the shadow longer so you get a magnifying-glass without being too obvious.

And testing some colors:

And all the not so successful ones:

And trying to make rectangular stickers

Hi @eklem, I would really go for the clustered logos. I just looked into this chat and I would still suggest to continue with the logo editing, for example:

But just turn the background connected dots 90 degress to the left and you will have a nice logo. Apply the colors as shown here:

First image on the left side is right color settings.

Can you initiate a new logo set with that, or apply me the source so i can do the rest? also include the api text as a sublogo to show us the result.

Let's rock with Norch!

[eklem]

For now =)

Feel free to open up again, @fergiemcdowall =)

Here are some more mockups I've made to show how associated modules could tie in.
