a logo for Istanbul #6

Closed bcoe closed 7 years ago

bcoe commented 8 years ago

Everyone's favorite test-coverage tool is now an organization \o/ would love help figuring out a logo.

isaacs commented 8 years ago

Let me be the first to suggest this terrible idea:

not-constantinople

ashleygwilliams commented 8 years ago

a cartoon version of that would probably be p cool actually...

isaacs commented 8 years ago

Some other revs on this embarrassing pop culture reference:

not-constantinople-js not-constantinople-jslogo

bcoe commented 8 years ago

perhaps something inspired by the They Might Be Giants Logo, keep makes sense once we move nyc into this org:

isaacs commented 8 years ago

@bcoe Tricky thing about that is TMBG have had a lot of "logos" over the years in varying degrees of officialness and a wide variety of styles.

markstory commented 8 years ago

Are you looking for more of an 'istanbul the country' theme, or something more offbeat?

bcoe commented 8 years ago

@markstory I was personally thinking maybe a bit more offbeat, focus on the test coverage not city ... maybe like someone covering toast with peanutbutter :p

bcoe commented 8 years ago

How about this:

istanbul

bcoe commented 8 years ago

@markstory, @chrisdickinson, @isaacs, @ashleygwilliams perhaps as an alternative we go with the JavaScript black and yellow scheme, cut out the red:

istanbul-black

This is the Hagia Sophia one of the more famous buildings in Istanbul.

markstory commented 8 years ago

@bcoe That looks good to me. You'll lose some of the detail at small sizes, but the silhouette is distinct enough. I think that might work better than toast & jam :smile:

bcoe commented 8 years ago

@markstory if you got bored and wanted to simplify the silhouette, sure wouldn't turn down your artistic expertise 🎉

I'm using to use this for the time being. Don't know if you've been playing with ES2015 much? but check this out:

gotwarlost commented 8 years ago

@bcoe - nice!

gotwarlost commented 8 years ago

@bcoe @gyehuda - I'm reopening this issue since, apparently, we shouldn't be using this logo. The original art is not creative commons? Gil has more details.

bcoe commented 8 years ago

@gyehuda @gotwarlost this is a stock photo drawing of the Hagia Sophia landmark, which I purchased off something like IStock Photo and modified quite a bit in photoshop myself to make it into a logo. Is there a specific complaint?

bcoe commented 8 years ago

@gyehuda @gotwarlost I'll happily photoshop an alternative drawing, stock photo, linocut, etc., of the landmark into a similar logo if you can find one that passes your legal review.

jameswomack commented 8 years ago

Are you leaning toward the landmark still or want to go back to considering concepts that refer to test coverage or the results of test coverage?

gyehuda commented 8 years ago

@bcoe aha, I was not aware that you purchased this with the right to make a derivative work. I was informed by someone that the image looks like one subject to copyright and thus it appeared that it was simply copied. So I asked if we were confident that it was OK that we use this image. If indeed we have rights to it, great. However, it may be best that the resultant logo look sufficiently distinct so that if someone else points this out again, it would be even more apparent that this is a distinct logo that is rightfully being used by this project. Thanks for giving attention to this -- and thanks also for purchasing the rights in the first place.

bcoe commented 8 years ago

@jameswomack @gyehuda @gotwarlost definitely open to artistic interpretation! I liked the idea of pulling in a landmark from Istanbul because it fits well with the name -- but we don't have to keep in that direction.

Keeping an interchangeable color scheme would be nice because we have this site we'll need to update:

https://istanbul.js.org/

reinalockheart commented 8 years ago

I didn't see any wordmarks yet so here are some ideas. I was thinking about what the culture itself feels like. Medici script seemed to have an east-meets-west feeling to it, and is by Hermann Zapf. The fleurons and jewels are more neoclassical, but the overlapping of them starts to give the logo a complex look..feedback or thoughts?

reinalockheart commented 8 years ago

Some more logos, using an actual byzantine typeface this time: image

bcoe commented 7 years ago

I was looking for the original purchase so I could confirm the license. Part of me would like to redraw a similar image just to eliminate any potential concerns.

I'll try to find the license I bought in the mean time.
