[ghost]

Let's all make some logos!

I'll go first:

Some other ideas:

• IO the moon of Jupiter
• network/disk/RAM/CPU
• octogons for the 8 in v8

[ThisIsMissEm]

Hey everyone, rather than everyone just giving plus ones, why don't we come up with a few designs, then open a new ticket with the options and vote on it there?

That way here we can really hone in on ideas.

@miksago I don't think we're at the final vote phase yet, let's keep throwing up ideas and collaborating for a while :)

[cjihrig]

We could also put the finalists up on the new iojs.org and have a real form to vote with instead of just +1 anarchy.

[mikeal]

A good exercise might be to include a sticker cut with each logo.

[Fishrock123]

I like what @cjihrig is thinking.

@mikeal agreed.

[jondavidjohn]

Really love @karlbright's approach, feels very original / fresh... not sure the branding should orbit around the almighty sticker... Maybe have him come up with some ideas on how it could work in a sticker format? Maybe a few alternate configurations focused on different contexts?

[rafaelconde]

Here's a 10 minute idea :+1:

¯(ツ)/¯

[christianallen]

just a thought...

[christianallen]

or with blending...

[jeffwhelpley]

+1 on @christianallen's second one (i.e. the blended)

[jondavidjohn]

ohhhh @christianallen :clap: :clap: :clap: (blended version)

[danjenkins]

Love @yuchi 's octagonal rounded yellow

[donabrams]

+1 for color parity with the js and js next logos (yellow/black)

[rafaelconde]

Ok, two more:

[therebelrobot]

+1 @karlbright (especially the second one above with the paper shadows), @zeke the simple black one, maybe in yellow, and @rafaelconde with these super simple ones above.

[mikeal]

@rafaelconde I really like the versatility of this design, you could see it being using in a variety of colors, easy stickers, and simple to make variations for other projects.

-1 on having ".js" in the logo :)

[rafaelconde]

@mikeal it should be recognisable and scalable. The problem with yellow is that with a white background and small size, it starts to blend with the background.

Glad you like it :+1:

[mikeal]

@rafaelconde ya, but yellow would be great with no background on a silver macbook as a sticker :)

[rwaldron]

I <3 @zeke's first entry

(Hey @zeke if that doesn't get chosen, could @nodebots use it for our "IO Plugin" ecosystem? Come chat with us: https://gitter.im/rwaldron/johnny-five)

[tkellen]

@karlbright's is rad!

[mikeal]

@rafaelconde get me a circle PNG and I'll try to have stickers ready for JSFest :)

[rafaelconde]

Here's the reason for my hesitation with @zeke's: https://ui8.net

[rafaelconde]

@mikeal done, with or without ".js"?

[mikeal]

@rafaelconde no .js, it'll be a round die cut sticker :)

[rafaelconde]

@mikeal do you have an email address I could send it to?

[mikeal]

just post it here :)

[rafaelconde]

Here:

[phpnode]

@rafaelconde like it but it looks like a power switch, also the blue version you posted is really close to gravatar's logo / blank placeholder image (really similar blue too),

[rafaelconde]

@phpnode you're right! Haven't thought about that :+1:

Maybe because of the blue background, because the gem itself I feel it's different enough. But then again, it's a very minimal approach. It's hard to be unique with two basic shapes, for the context, I think it works.

[andrewliebchen]

@rafaelconde's logo is also reminiscent of a flattened version of 1password's logo.

@zeke has the best so far, still.

[tomgco]

<3 @chrisdickinson's jupiter design's!

[kenperkins]

LOL I assumed that @rafaelconde's was SUPPOSED to be a power switch. I.e. Power your web with io.js or something.

Love it, also love @zeke's. If you make stickers @mikeal you have to save me one as a Sponsor :D

[ralphtheninja]

Amazing contributions from everyone. I'm so blessed to be in this community. I really like the power button :)

[lfortin]

+1 @zeke

IO in white inside a black hexagon.

[hegemonic]

:+1: for @zeke! The crisp corners help to distinguish it from https://ui8.net, and it'd work really well at just about any size.

(Also, :+1: * 0.75 for @yuchi.)

[dconnolly]

+1 for @zeke. Maybe make it an octagon (for V8), and it could come in yellow?

[yuchi]

(BTW everyone download this one from @zeke if you’re using Atom: https://github.com/zeke/atom-icon)

[stuartpb]

I'm thinking an octagon inside a hexagon.

[Phil-Dean]

@zeke last one with the inverse color option is good.

[firede]

[yoshuawuyts]

@zeke :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

[stuartpb]

Quick-and-dirty Inkscape mockup of the design elements I'd go for:

I'm in favor of something simple like this or @jbergstroem's, but the "I" needs serifs or a dot so it doesn't look like "10".

Also, the overlapping-color ones like @karlbright's end up looking more like a logo for Google I/O (not to mention they don't work in monochrome).

[yuchi]

For completeness:

[yuchi]

And a sharper one (with stroke)

[derekr]

w/ the space and io theme maybe it'd be cool to explore NASA and other space org designs/logos.

[aearly]

I really like the Gallilean moon themed ones, especially @chrisdickinson 's.

Basic google image search for old nasa patches to serve as benchmarks/inspiration.
