GitEvents Logo

[PatrickHeneise]

Just a small thing, but would be cool to have a nice picture up. Suggestions?

[iancrowther]

@maxwellito @tancredi - I know you guys are busy.. buuut

[maxwellito]

Mmmmm... I'm thinking about it.

Recommendations? Guidelines? Which format?

[iancrowther]

none of the above!! you have artistic licence here completely

[maxwellito]

To be sure to understand the concept: it's a logo for this repo, which is a node script to find events and create a meetup event from them? Am I right?

[iancrowther]

so this is a gtthub org which uses node to help event organisers adminiter speakers. Their is a plugin architecture to enable plugins such as twitter, but the core is submit an issue -> do something eg tweet

[iancrowther]

its a bot if that helps..

[iancrowther]

there should also be a module that "gets" processes and formats talk data which we can re-use from the LNUG website. eventually we can extend this to get venue data, event details etc but for now its just the bot

[maxwellito]

I have to admit, I really have no idea.

The only thing I had in mind was an event ticket with a git logo on it

The other one is a kind of 'git' machine generating "Hello, my name is" stickers.

My lack of creativity is at his best. Any idea is MORE THEN WELCOME.

[ifraixedes]

I like first one ;D it's simple and probably easy to generate different ones to match backgrounds, but I'm not designer at all.

[iancrowther]

@maxwellito love the first one. Can the assets be checked in and prepped in the following ways:

• github org logo
• gravatar (twitter etc)
• transparent for websites etc
• favicon?

Although I like the concept of the second one, the message is not being conveyed clearly enough.

Another amazing job chief :-)

[PatrickHeneise]

Both are pretty cool for a first try. I guess the first is better since it can be included everywhere. There could be a black, white and coloured version.

[maxwellito]

Just before the final vote, I wanted to retry the second idea

[ifraixedes]

@maxwellito it looks nice, my only worries if it would allow to be embedded everywhere as @PatrickHeneise commented, I know that it would require some tweaks, but how much work can they require?

[maxwellito]

First, agree all on what you would like or would change. Then I'll make the other versions. It's not really complex to create a black and white version.

I also like my first try but it might be difficult to render on small sizes.

[PatrickHeneise]

maybe a bit more "information distribution" flair than just the git logo would be cool?

[ifraixedes]

A bit more information it will be good, however I guess that only the wide versions could have it. I like the last one more than the first one, because it's a ticket printer, and from my own point of view approaches more the GitEvents than a single ticket.

[iancrowther]

@maxwellito the issue i have with the last two are the meetup badge. we should be a little more generic as were moving into that space bit by bit

[maxwellito]

@iancrowther It's true, it remind the meetup badge. But this "Hi my name is" badge is the best symbol to represent an event. Except that, I only see a calendar, not sure how to combine it with a bot.

@ifraixedes & @PatrickHeneise any ideas on how could I represent 'information distribution'?

[PatrickHeneise]

@maxwellito I'd be a designer if I would :P. Splitting a ticket in 2? 'cloning' a ticket? cloning an event/calendar entry? 'forking' it? I'm not sure.

[iancrowther]

Let go with number 1 @maxwellito

[PatrickHeneise]

:+1:

[maxwellito]

Here is what I have. What should I do? Make a PR? Post them here?

If PR is, check if those are OK with MIT license for you, otherwise add a new one for those for example one less tied to software as Creative Commons.

Don't worry about the license. MIT is perfectly fine with me :-)
