Hmm, I'm not known for my good looking design either, but I can give it a shot. Anyone who has an idea for an icon can submit it to me!
For now I'm thinking something minimalistic, based on the Chart.js icon.
I’m also not a designer. But I got an idea that I suggest here:
It’s super rough, spend like 10 minutes or so to do this. More work is definitely necessary. But I think you get the idea. I haven’t convinced myself that this looks good :-) It is based on the original Blazor logo if that isn’t obvious.
Just for fun I spend some more time with this and got the result below. I stole the colors from https://www.chartjs.org/ and https://dotnet.microsoft.com/platform/community
I played around a bit and all I could produce looked awful. Basically I really like the lower left design and I tried to make the shape of the Blazor flame continue the curve of the teal pie chart slice.
I would be grateful if someone could help me out on this 😅
I remember that there was some guy who did the logo / icon for https://github.com/chkr1011/MQTTnet. I have to search a bit, maybe he is available and can help us here.
I guess it was @mseyock : https://github.com/chkr1011/MQTTnet/commits?author=mseyock.
@mseyock: Do you have some time to help us out with some icon / logo here?
Sure i could do it :). Just need information what you're exactly looking for.
hi @mseyock I was thinking about an icon that merges the Blazor icon and the ChartJs icon.
@pekspro came up with some designs which I really like. They take the general shape of the Blazor logo and merge it with a pie chart that uses ChartJs' color scheme. Personally, I like the one in the lower left corner the most but I'm open to other suggestions :D
Whatever logo we end up using, it should be in svg format. Based on that I want to generate icons for the repository, a NuGet icon, embed it into the samples of this project and so on.
If it’s any useful, here is the SVG-file I’ve been working with:
Basically I really like the lower left design and I tried to make the shape of the Blazor flame continue the curve of the teal pie chart slice.
@mariusmuntean Did you mean something like this?
I like the top right the most but this is still very rough and I just kind of winged it with the curves (they're not as round as they should be). I also think it looks better without that lower "spike" but we should keep in mind that this "spike" is part of the original blazor logo.
Disclaimer: I'm not a designer or anything of the sort :)
Here's the SVG. It's a modified version of what @pekspro posted above. Just remove the .zip
extension, it's not actually a zip, that's just for uploading.
As we currently have a direction going i decided to get make other design ideas over the weekend. Currently i just played a little bit with the colors and added some curves.
Idk if it fits better. I'm still working on it :)
@pekspro @Joelius300 @mseyock these are all nice designs and I would be happy with either one. I'm thinking of creating a poll where everyone who's interested can vote on the available designs and option with the most votes wins.
What do you think?
Sure. I'd still try to improve my version over the next few days though. If you can wait until Sunday :)
That sounds totally fine by me :-)
I also like turning the border black, idk if its just my taste though :D
Here's the poll: https://twitter.com/MunteanMarius/status/1199070783139667973
It's quite difficult to decide :D The designs look all good.
So, it will be the charty version 👍
These icons are still as awesome as when I last saw them! Let's leave this to whoever will take over this library :)
Describe the feature request
I guess, it would be cool to have a nice icon for the NuGet package (and the Gitter community). I would provide one on my own, but I'm actually not that good in such things 😕
