Vectorized & Outlined Versions

Needed for https://github.com/ipfs/electron-app/pull/43

This is by far not pixel perfect, but what I have so far:

What do you think @jbenet ?

@Dignifiedquire i like it. that looks sleek

jbenet commented 8 years ago

@Dignifiedquire if this is just raster, i just added a set of white-outline versions to https://github.com/ipfs/logo

if this is vector, we should get it mathematically correct.

dignifiedquire commented 8 years ago

@jbenet the versions you made look good, but I need one the size of the tray icon, as resizing the 128 version looks pretty bad

My opinion has been swayed by @Dignifiedquire, @mappum, and others. What if we cast a wide net for a lot of people to suggest versions of the logo (based on the same idea-- hex/cube so it tessellates and so on -- but giving people a shot at making it look great + more 3D). If several people give it a shot and influence each others ideas we can arrive at something really good.

Eventually, we'll have to trademark to logo to prevent abuse-- for example plastering it on products that ARE NOT actually ipfs compliant (this was important for the linux community to do with the tux logo, for example). so doing a bit of work now and get a really good one will be good.

@Dignifiedquire This is great. I like the logo. The font is better. Can I start using this?

dignifiedquire commented 8 years ago

@kyledrake you're free to use them from my side, it's more @jbenet call if he is okay with that.

jbenet commented 8 years ago

i belive those are raster? @kyledrake see https://github.com/ipfs/logo

i want a proper vector logo, but see my comment, i want to do this really right and try a bunch of people's perspectives on it. we will be trademarking it, so we should spend more effort now on getting something really good.

The version I uploaded is a screenshot of a vector version. Here is the illustrator source for anyone who wants to play with it: http://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmR84FoT13yPgxLHM7tMYXsaR3BNLkf426C2Af8ZZvNb8v I do not consider it finished (needs cleanup and "pixel perfection" at a minimum) Also we need to create different versions of the vector for different sizes, as the regular scaling does not work for delicate lines like we have on the cube.
