@iusername any change I can get you to create another logo?

IUsername commented 6 years ago

@dennisdoomen sounds like fun. It will probably be a few days before I can start putting some ideas together but I am on board.

dennisdoomen commented 6 years ago

No worries. It'll take a couple of weeks before I'll have a landing page.

For your information, this article explains what this library is supposed to do. https://www.continuousimprover.com/2018/05/building-projections-in-dotnet.html

Playing on the idea of the library as a lens (one side of a pair of spectacles) over the stream of events (the pupil / drop).

dennisdoomen commented 6 years ago

I love it already!

dennisdoomen commented 6 years ago

Maybe a different color like green or orange will make it a bit more distinct from the Fluent Assertions logo

Green with a few other small tweaks.

dennisdoomen commented 6 years ago

Hmm, that green feels a bit like poison. What about #F48024?

IUsername commented 6 years ago
mxasset 6 2x

I agree - it feels radioactive or like a drop of anti-freeze. #F48024 is on top and I've included a few toned-down options I think work too.

dennisdoomen commented 6 years ago

Oeh, I definitely love the orange one. The others are nice two, but the contrast with black is not strong enough. What do you think?

IUsername commented 6 years ago

Orange it is. I will get you some final assets in the next few days.

dennisdoomen commented 6 years ago

Awesome. Thanks for all the hard work. I'm trying to think of a way to give you more credits, but other than mentioning you on the landing page, I can't think of anything. Can you?

IUsername commented 6 years ago

PNG and SVG included in here. final.zip Let me know if there is a size, layout, or format missing.

dennisdoomen commented 6 years ago

I have a preliminary site running on http://www.liquidprojections.net.

Where should I link your name to? The FluentAssertions landing page points to your Github profile, but that one is pretty empty.

dennisdoomen commented 6 years ago

@IUsername check the final result at https://www.liquidprojections.net

Oh man, now I should really ask you to create a new logo for https://www.continuousimprover.com/. It looks so old-fashioned now... What would you like to have for that?

IUsername commented 6 years ago

The Liquid Projections site looks great. The large icons and calls to action make it pop. I did notice that the site favicon is pulling the icon for Fluent Assertions.

Linking to my Github profile is probably the best option for now. I switched organizations not too long ago and may be able to get more active on Github and flesh out my profile. If I happen to put together a site for myself I will let you know that address.

As for Continuous Improver, I think I can carve out time to put something together. I rather like the occasional logo design and I don't get to do that type of work much these days. In exchange, reaching out to any other open-source project authors or maintainers you know that need similar design work and connecting them with me would be great. I want to contribute more back to the community (particularly the .NET open-source community) instead of just taking and the logo / graphic design path have been a fun way to do so.

Another option would be to be available for providing guidance on some future architectural challenge. This option is much more open-ended and I am not even sure what it would entail. I find myself in an architectural role more and more in recent years and would love to have a sounding board from someone with your architecture experience.

I had a hard time finding your Twitter profile though.

I can do a shout-out on Twitter. But people need a way to find and contact you. That's not possible with a Github profile.

That would be awesome

I did notice that the site favicon is pulling the icon for Fluent Assertions.

Thanks. I'll fix that.

Absolutely. You can email me directly, but maybe joining the FluentAssertion Slack channel is more convenient.
