New logo for VsSue - Githubissues

alolalo commented 5 years ago

Hi peoples!

My name is Guus, and I created a fancy logo for vssue! 🖖

I like to keep things simple; the logo is created out of one shape, five colors, and fully vector for any post-processing in code.

Full HD

Feel free to comment! It's a work in progress 👍🏻

Thanks for your interest, but ....

Sue for Vue.js

Hmmm, are you serious? 😅

Vssue means "Vue + Issue", but not "Vue + Sue".....

BTW, I think logo of Vssue should express the idea of "comments". Only using a shape of "S" is not good enough.

Hi thanks for your feedback

I understood what vssue means, it's just that I prefer a more "personal" naming to things, and the letter S is quite evident in pronounciation.

Funny enough I had "comments" in my first drafts and took this approach, so I'll give those another spin.

alolalo commented 5 years ago

Here are the first drafts of the earlier versions.

It's hard to see but there are actually people building the comments and issues in the lower one, with a "history" of issues that was fixed together, suggesting collaboration and open source development.

Again, feel free to comment and suggest.

I think the logo of vue-i18n could be used as a reference.

What do you think about this style?

(I even thought about replacing the globe with "Vssue" for Vssue LOGO 😅 )

alolalo commented 5 years ago

I assume you're just talking about the bubbles, which is not a problem.

Or do you mean that you wanted exactly the logo to look like the bubble you show above?

(I even thought about replacing the globe with "Vssue" for Vssue LOGO 😅 )

Then can I ask you why you wanted someone to make a logo in the first place if you already know what you want? I like the simplicity, but it looks like something a generator could have made. I'm human, not a captcha-artist 😉

Maybe it's good to tell you the design principles and inspiration for the logo I made for vssue;

keywords

people
Vue
Git
co-op
inclusion
equality ( I use a lot of symmetry in my work because of it)

I like the fact that even though you and I don't see each other, or meet before we work together, we can work together with a medium in between. Therefore the two worlds are seperated yet connected to the same thing; issues we both have using that same thing.

So about the styling; I can make that any color you want in seconds. I would rather allign on the core principles you want to communicate to the people who contribute and use vssue.

A less artsy solution that could work for your approach; you take the vue-i18n logo, replace the globe with a gibhub-styled comment icon in the middle, and you add a few comment bubbles around it in the back, and call it a day.

meteorlxy commented 5 years ago

Yeah the point is the simplicity. Your design is great, but it looks a little bit complicated at first glance.

It might for the keywords "people" and "equality" that you use a lot of blocks to build the "S". What about reducing the quantity of the blocks? (I'm not sure if it would be better)

I have some ideas but I didn't have good idea to combine them together in a simple logo:

"Vue green" for Vue (your design already achieve it as most of the Vue projects)
Avatar and/or bubble for comment (as your mentioned)
The name of Vssue (or part of the name. "S" is one of the choices)
Uncomplicated

I just listed them here to show my thought, but they are not necessary.

Just "thought about", don't take it seriously LOL 🐛

alolalo commented 5 years ago

I would disagree with you here, because I'm not taking it too seriously; I made these in less then an hour. I just like giving a face to a name, and would like to pull it off. I'm independant enough to call it a day, and I'm having an off day.
