To do next... (a short task list)

SebastJava commented 3 years ago

[x] Create some sort of better preview replacing the table in the README.md. We need a grey background so we can view the white paths and outlines. Clem wants to achieve this preview with a Python script. Another possibility would be to create a preview.svg like this #16.
[x] Once we got this preview done, we can convert all the grey paths and strokes to white: sed -i 's/#505050/#ffffff/g' *.svg (Just one command for all the SVG files !)
[ ] Consider adding information about license and copyright ?

@clefebvre Are you still doing this Python script for preview ? That's step number 2 here on this task list...

Else i could do something like this:

brand-logo-preview

I could do this for all the different logo versions. Complete description: #7

Checked the 3 first tasks here with just one PR: #16

Change the logo and brand colour ? You want to avoid grass green. Then it can either be the current greyish yellow-green (bad !) or some turquoise green (good !). Example: #00B894. (That's the "MintLeaf" from https://flatuicolors.com/palette/us)

Would you like #009688?

@Secret-chest This is just a quick answer, just for fun... This repository is "frozen", so I don't want to waste my time here. I guess I'll be back when this is back to life. Besides, I don't like this official logo so much. Okay, at least it isn't bad. Not ugly. Not messy. Much better than the old one still being used on the LM-forums and elsewhere. But this official logo doesn't have much significance and power. I went totally off, on my own tracks. I have my own, parallel and unofficial repository: https://github.com/SebastJava/linuxmint-logo

trident-name

That was just a small parenthesis. Now back to your colour proposal...

I don't like their official yellowish-greyish-green. Pretty much any other colour would be better. Your latest: #009688 = 174,100,29 (HSL) Hue 174 ? Good idea, but I'd say 175: I like round numbers. Saturation 100% ? Yes ! Lightness 29 ? That's too dark, IMHO. I'd say 33... Darkening it just enough so it gets a colour contrast around 3...

So, I would say #00A699 https://colorable.jxnblk.com/ffffff/00a699

Too bright. View it in a larger area, and you'll love it...
