LOGO

[Fishrock123]

Whipped up one quickly, let me know if you like it.

@tweettypography put together this:

[Fishrock123]

@tweettypography is that using the same font?

Would need to be transparent background and square, I think.

it's transparent indeed :) using whatever font from the JSConf logo.

[dougwilson]

Oh, I see what you're saying @Fishrock123 . Yes, @tweettypography I see now is that GitHub only takes square logos for the orgs, so I guess we'll want to see if we can get some square form as well, haha

[tweettypography]

Sure thing @dougwilson @Fishrock123. Does this work? https://github.com/tweettypography/logo.js/blob/master/jshttp/jshttp-square.png

[Fishrock123]

LGTM!

We'll make sure to thank you in the readme (& site if we use it on it) once we get that far. :)

suuuuuweeeetttt

[rlidwka]

this logo looks too similar to jshint...

[dougwilson]

this logo looks too similar to jshint...

it's mostly the same, yes :) was that a good thing to you or a bad thing?

[rlidwka]

Well it sounds like a bad thing, because those are completely unrelated. But I can't suggest anything better anyway.

[yoshuawuyts]

I wouldn't worry too much about it; the words Hint and http look different enough that people won't confuse them. The only part that looks similar is JS, which is kind of the point I guess. Here's their logo taken from their site for comparison.

[rlidwka]

They probably changed it then. I still remember old one:

PS: I'm trying to fit the logo on the dark background, any ideas about that?

[yoshuawuyts]

@tweettypography is the one that made the logo. I'd suggest making the dark background light though, it probably feels cleaner as a result too.

[rlidwka]

trying to add it to website, see http://rlidwka.github.io/jshttp.github.io/logo.html , please check that out.

[yoshuawuyts]

How about lighting things up? light

dark

[tweettypography]

Yes, @rlidwka, the similarity to jshint is somewhat intentional - both logos are extending the well-known js logo in a fairly conventional way so they will look similar. But standardization on the use of that mark isn't a bad thing. If the intent is to look truly different it might be better not to use the js mark at all.. which isn't really up to me.

Ps. I agree with @yoshuawuyts about lightening things up. Looks fresh

Too much contrast with badges imho (and we can't really control their color).

[Fishrock123]

I like the lightened version tbh.

[yoshuawuyts]

Is there an easy way to ping the badge server for the status? That would be the greatest.

[dougwilson]

Is there an easy way to ping the badge server for the status?

do you mean, get the raw data that they use to make the badges?

[yoshuawuyts]

Aye, in that way you can create a cleaner dashboard, rather than one littered with badges.

[yoshuawuyts]

But that's just for experimentation's sake. :)

[dougwilson]

Aye

ah, in that case, you can see the apis they pull from here: https://github.com/badges/shields/blob/master/server.js

[yoshuawuyts]

Ooh, that's pretty sweet.

[tweettypography]

Too much contrast with badges imho (and we can't really control their color).

Does this help with the dark background? https://github.com/tweettypography/logo.js/blob/master/jshttp/jshttp-dark.png

[rlidwka]

yeah, that would work

[rlidwka]

Looking at node.js logo... maybe we could steal some ideas from there:

[dougwilson]

maybe. idk. seeing as their logo is trademarked, having one too similar (especially having the literally same "JS" in there) is probably asking for trouble

[yoshuawuyts]

@rlidwka Could you explain the issues you have with logo proposed here?

[rlidwka]

@yoshuawuyts , well we need something to choose from, right?

[jonathanong]

i don't want to ahve any inspirations from joyent haha

[rlidwka]

nobody likes joyent... I see :)

[jonathanong]

since we have a logo, i'm going to close this. but if you have a better suggestion, open a new issue!
