Animated logo #430

Open imscary opened 5 years ago

imscary commented 5 years ago

It doesn't look good on other themes. image I suggest replacing the img with a simple canvas that will be something like a perfect loop. What do you think?

marcosassis commented 5 years ago

I liked this idea! A coded logo: great!

imscary commented 5 years ago

Yeah, it will be pretty unique. It will still have the central image as the favicon, only just a minimal move or trick that will give navbar's a little dynamic element.

no need to say: 140 or less... =D

imscary commented 5 years ago

The language isn't standardized on the whole page. But that would be original

I am using the dark theme. I did find the black-on-white logo looked a bit out of place there.

But after a couple of days it stopped bothering me. It's the same colour theme as many of the dweets! And It does offer some symmetry with the (+) on the "New dweet" button. 😉

Also I couldn't think of an alternative. Black-on-dark isn't going to work. What would your green-theme-compatible logo look like?

This sort of works: .header-logo { filter: invert(100%); } (It might work better on the dark theme if the png's background was transparent instead of white.)

The logo really is simple enough to be easily made with css only, which would make it easier to slightly change for other themes. Though if you think it can work in the dark theme as is that's great, I mean the dweets do have white background by default On Thu, Nov 29, 2018 at 7:04 PM joeytwiddle notifications@github.com wrote:

To avoid the color thing and keep the original white background, we can add a small black 2px border. Here I can show you what I have been thinking of: https://js.do/code/dwitteranimatedlogo It looks awesome to me.

My pull request #434 adds CSS rules that give the logo rounded corners in the dark and green themes, which is more attractive. See https://js.do/code/dwitteranimatedlogo-roundrect (adapted from above)

Nice! That subtle movement of the rectangles in the canvas will make the website look very professional

@sethjust great!!!
