Docs Homepage Design

[jaredpalmer]

This is a thread to discuss what the docs homepage should look like. I have some ideas, but they are super plain. Ideally, design conveys "oh fuck, this looks epic" to the viewer. I'm open to modifying the logo if the proposed design/brand is cohesive enough. Otherwise, the current logo is an optical illusion inspired by M.C. Escher, it would be cool to somehow incorporate that as a motif throughout the homepage.

Some ideas

• Epic SVG animation that presents the logo in a unique way
• SVG animation that morphs / zooms the Formik logo into inputs as the user scrolls through different steps of a tutorial (would maybe require scroll-jacking)

Cool Fonts:

• Colfax
• Circular (currently used in the logo)
• Graphik

Next Steps

• Post a link / screenshot / gif of your designs in this thread. Person with the selected design will get mentioned in README, formik laptop stickers, and Formik t-shirt when 1.0 drops.
• Add reactions to designs you like / dislike. Be nice

Nice idea! So I allowed myself 2 hours to come up with a design, this is what I got so far. Needs some work on colors, details and content but for now I hope it will keep the discussion going.
