New NodeSchoolMTL svg icon #10

Closed pcuci closed 6 years ago

pcuci commented 8 years ago

Use the Montreal skyline

ajmas commented 8 years ago

Is there current art work for this?

pcuci commented 8 years ago

@ajmas - the current art-work is work-in-progress, heh, something simple I could muster out of Inkscape...

For more inspiration: http://nodeschool.io/hexdex.html

@nicolasgere can help fun-it-up and @CassieLR can add colour! :stuck_out_tongue:

ajmas commented 8 years ago

If we could get something with the Olympic stadium? Hmm, any artist friends around?

pcuci commented 8 years ago

You mean that thing that's not even a city landmark because you and I are still paying for it?

Maybe @alicephieu or @rvoulon can help find someone? :smile:

ajmas commented 8 years ago

We finished paying for it in 2006. - Just checked 😊 . Any other landmark suggestions? Biosphere?

ajmas commented 8 years ago

Should we post on the Facebook page for contributions?

pcuci commented 8 years ago

Bridge and biosphrere could work, with mountain + cross and PVM batman light in the background?

Hexagon this:

RichardLitt commented 6 years ago

I spent a bit of time today, and came up with this. Super simple. What do we think?

It may not be legal to use this logo, without authorization in writing. Does a citizen of Montréal who speaks french want to contact the city and ask? http://ville.montreal.qc.ca/portal/page?_pageid=5977,42999681&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL#par_courriel

ajmas commented 6 years ago

Is there a way to tweak it a bit, so it is more a tip of the hat to the logo, than the logo itself? Maybe a play on the Montreal flag?

@rvoulon You can unsubscribe from the thread. @ajmas Unfortunately, not with my design skills. This took the better part of an hour.

rvoulon commented 6 years ago

Yes I just realized I was getting them from GitHub and unsubscribed. However by tagging me you resubscibed me again... (-_- ) On Wed, Nov 8, 2017 at 08:08 Richard Littauer notifications@github.com wrote:

Shutterstock has some nice Montreal-themed vector line art that we can adjust to fit our needs, as an alternate approach.

I'll try making some mockups when I've got a free moment.

RichardLitt commented 6 years ago

Those would be much better! Awesome.

matchai commented 6 years ago

Here's one mockup completed:

For anyone who wants to make adjustments, here's the svg: https://gist.github.com/matchai/acd657c2c71613325768a3d72d88e366

What do you think about the colors? Anything you think should be added/removed/changed? I'm not at all married to this design, so any feedback is good feedback! 😄

ajmas commented 6 years ago

Not sure about the Yellow, otherwise looks good. Should we try to keep the colours Montreal, Quebec or Canada related?

RichardLitt commented 6 years ago

Red and white?

I like the logo! It's definitely distinctively Montréal. Not my favourite landmark though; any chance of using the skyline and hill? Might not work as easy.

matchai commented 6 years ago

Here's what red/white and blue/white look like:

red blue

RichardLitt commented 6 years ago

I like the blue and white! Makes me feel cold. :D

ajmas commented 6 years ago

I like the blue and white too. Seems soothing, despite the cold :)

RichardLitt commented 6 years ago

@matchai Did you order some of these? :)

matchai commented 6 years ago

Moving that conversation over to #50.

matchai commented 6 years ago

Here are the final svgs, to be added to the repo as soon as #73 is closed: https://gist.github.com/matchai/e395414aa4eab041586a546a18524a33
