create project logo #208

Closed tomkralidis closed 5 years ago

tomkralidis commented 5 years ago

We are in need of a project logo. We are currently using the default Geopython logo as a placeholder (website, OSGeo page, etc.), but it would be valuable to have a dedicated project logo as part of marketing efforts.

justb4 commented 5 years ago

Something like?

pygeoapi-logo-robotoslab-world_200x200

(created in 2 min via https://www.freelogodesign.org selecting "Technology", then a "World" icon (search) and RobotoSlab font.) for just €34,- we can have higher res for web etc.)

pvgenuchten commented 5 years ago

in dutch aapie (pronounced similar as API) means monkey, so a monkey in the logo would have my vote :-)

Alternative idea (similar to that of just): there seems some agreement to use a wheel logo for api's, in that scenario for example replace the inner circle with a globe.

or similar but with a pin (which is maybe better known as spatial data)

tomkralidis commented 5 years ago

+1 for the wheel logo with pin, both with and without the text.

justb4 commented 5 years ago

Wheel is "cogwheel", actually was refering to Processing, but API: the better. Merging above ideas: resulted in this:

pygeoapi-logo-robotoslab-cogwheel_gmap_200x200

(note to self: created on freelogodesign.org: 1) add icon search "cogwheel", then 2) closed shape Circle white, to cover inner cogwheel-circle, then 3) add pin icon, search for "google maps", group all, and 4) add Text "pygeoapi" use RobotoSlab font).

tomkralidis commented 5 years ago

+1. So can we do one icon with no text and another with text? Can we note the colour rgb value so we can align colours on website / docs?

We should also propose the logo on gitter and mailing list for decision I. The next day or two.

Once decided, I can cover the high res cost.

Target would be in time for our pygeoapi presentation at FOSS4G 2019 (next week).

hex color is: #1761a0
strictly for logos with/without text would be two logos to buy (2xEUR 34,-) but we get several formats, including SVG so just obtain the full logo and split icon off the text ourselves I expect.
@tomkralidis can you put on Gitter/mailinglist?

jorgejesus commented 5 years ago

:+1: would prefer in black :)

justb4 commented 5 years ago

@jorgejesus

but maybe it is not clear what we are voting for, e.g. also the monkey? I can put them in order/numbered.

francbartoli commented 5 years ago

+1 for the black style over the whole sky-blue. Maybe a combination of the two in the form and the name?

justb4 commented 5 years ago

@francbartoli like this?

francbartoli commented 5 years ago

It's not bad but initially, I thought the pin form and the "py" in the name of different colors. Not sure now if it makes sense

justb4 commented 5 years ago

Well, there's quite some permutations, like:

and

kalxas commented 5 years ago

justb4 commented 5 years ago

yes, but +1 for which?

francbartoli commented 5 years ago

yes, but +1 for which?

after all my +1 is for the first permutation with pin black and "py" blue

kalxas commented 5 years ago

I added a +1 to the post I liked best, but I like all of them

justb4 commented 5 years ago

ok, thanks folks, I was a bit pressed for a conclusion as the freelogodesign session would time-out at some point and it takes quite some time to get the exact icons back (no exact science there). For blue: I propose to take the exact Python logo color: Lapis Lazuli (hex: 306998) see here. And the black a bit more mellow/grayish: hex: 3a3a3a. All in all this:

We can always change colors once the download is ready (and paid).

justb4 commented 5 years ago

Ok this is the final version, had to take some shortcuts with the cogwheel on freelogodesign.org (transparancy stuff etc)

justb4 commented 5 years ago

FYI the pygeoapi logo and icon files can be found at: https://github.com/geopython/pygeoapi/tree/gh-pages/static both transparent and non-transparent.

tomkralidis commented 5 years ago

Thanks @justb4. Questions:

are there SVG versions available?
is there a favicon option/capability for the website?
can we add a logo and favicon also to master docs for https://docs.pygeoapi.io ?

justb4 commented 5 years ago

@tomkralidis yes, we have a complete design file package with several formats/resolutions, including SVG, about 600k. Thought I sent you that by e/gmail. I was still considering where to check this in in GitHub, maybe under GH pages branch /assets/logo?

No favicons yet, but these are easy to generate online. The logo includes icon+text but the icon is easily split-off for icon/favicon use.
