possible logo :-D

[matthewmueller]

did you know that koa is a word? it's a type of tree.

cool silhouette might be nice :-D

[buschtoens]

More trivia: Wikipedia

[buschtoens]

The leaves are very interestingly looking as well.

[matthewmueller]

oh yahhh those are nice

[Pana]

Cool, this is good issue, hope some body design a good logo

[jonathanong]

i, for one, prefer a koala bear. because they're cute.

or a koala bear eating a koa.

[mattstyles]

Probably want to stay away from symbolism for Koan though,

A paradoxical anecdote or a riddle that has no solution; 
used in Zen Buddhism to show the inadequacy of logical reasoning

or

a nonsensical or paradoxical question to a student for which an answer is demanded, 
the stress of meditation on the question often being illuminating.

[jonathanong]

sounds like node to me

[jonathanong]

lol https://github.com/soygul/koan

[buschtoens]

Haha, tbh Koan seems pretty adequate for an Angular boilerplate.

[jonathanong]

if only they used component instead :D

[hallas]

:+1: for the leaves

[rynz]

is http://www.drinkkoa.com/ leaf idea and is quite nice

Is the logo name koa or koajs?

[malko]

As koa sounds like a :frog: and just for fun.

can give the svg version as well :smile:

[kokujin]

Whats wrong with the present logo? I find it quite elegant, the 3 letters with the slim font symbolizes simplicity.

[malko]

Really nothing wrong imho ;)

[tj]

totally the frog

[fixe]

+1 for simplicity.

[hallas]

frog wins... why not, but make it simpler? Just one color

[malko]

do you prefer this one ?

[ulisesrmzroche]

Try a smaller mouth or removing it altogether. Looks like an anime right now. But +97 to frog.

I'm starting a collection exclusively for Koa on Medium, and I'm using @MatthewMueller original suggestion which just looks amazing! https://medium.com/koa-next-generation-web-framework-for-node-js

[yanickrochon]

@hallas nice page! The frog looks nice, but the koa tree seems better to me.

[hallas]

woah beautiful

[Pana]

cool

[tj]

frog! hahaha. jk the tree is cool, I'm not huge on graphical logos but it would be cool to work the tree in there somehow. Maybe we can have it and the hill on the bottom right-ish and when you scroll it gets blurry like it does on medium. doesn't matter to me :D

[ulisesrmzroche]

I liked the frog because hopping from middleware to middleware, like they were Lily pads, is what Koa is doing.

By putting a frog in a tree as the logo ;)

Logos should be simple, and should scale well down to 16x16 (favicon.ico) and still be recognizable. I'm not saying that a frog and a koa tree is not feasible, but I'd be very surprised to see some design of this idea that downscale well. As far as I'm concerned, I am neutral on the idea between a frog and a koa tree (ie. I don't really care). However, the current frog suggestion should be revised... it looks too much as an image quickly drawn with MS Paint. (No offense @malko )

[tj]

haha I think everyone knows the frog is just a joke, I don't think we really need a non-textual logo personally, but as far as "branding" goes I dig the tree a lot, working it into some design stuff would be cool. going to close for now though because I get tons of notifications ;D

[matthewmueller]

+1 hahaha
