logo

[ahdinosaur]

we need a sweet logo to use for branding that can fit on hexagon stickers!

one option is we fork the NodeSchool template sticker.

i have another idea: we use the Wellington bucket fountain design from the What is Enspiral? video, then add "NodeSchool" in text somewhere. to this end, i've gotten permission and files from Rachelle Smith for the bucket fountain design: svg, png.

any other ideas?

[ahdinosaur]

played around a little bit: svg

used parts of template, NodeSchool toronto logo and bucket fountain.

i reckon needs some solid-line waves, bubbles and/or winds to fill in the empty space, hmm.

[ahdinosaur]

continued along the above train of thinking, also fixed up the WLG text:

used wind from NounProject.

:+1: nicee!

[ahdinosaur]

idea from @ashlynbaum: fern leaf instead of bubbles. findings: 1 2

[ahdinosaur]

another iteration:

used Koru flag.

[ahdinosaur]

more iterations:

[mmckegg]

can you try that last one with wind in the sky instead?

And maybe try changing the WLG to white

Possibly the colour of the sea should be the same as the NODESCHOOL text.

[ashlynbaum]

Here is another take on the the wind idea.

@ashlynbaum: nice I and simple! I like it!

[max-mapper]

my personal fave is , i feel it has the most NZ vibes

[mmckegg]

I really like the big bucket fountain in @ashlynbaum's design. @ahdinosaur why not try this with a larger bucket fountain (removing the lines at the top)

@mmckegg with your other suggestions:

[mmckegg]

@ahdinosaur think I like pre6 best :smile:

pre7: The water just seems a bit too intense using the same colour as above (now that I see it).

[ashlynbaum]

@ahdinosaur, I agree with @mmckegg its too hard to read the WLG with the blue bottom. And it feels a little cluttered. I think If there is a blue bottom, the buckets should be smaller like in the version 2.

more background experimentation:

@genevievebelle thinks the koru isn't needed, wonders about having just wind on both sides.

[ahdinosaur]

@genevievebelle

[genevievebelle]

Yeah I like that! What about with a coloured background?

[mixmix]

anudd option

(note the accurate thinkpad / macbook color backgrounds)

[genevievebelle]

Nice! Liking the 3D box effect @mixmix , are your inkscape skillz up to that @ahdinosaur ??

[mixmix]

channeling @pfraze 's sweet avatar :

[mixmix]

we could add water to the 3d cube .. like imaging a fish tank with water partly filling it like

[mmckegg]

@mixmix: I like where this is going!

[mixmix]

how about some clouds and wellington in there too ?

[ahdinosaur]

@mixmix this is incredible, so keen. :smile_cat:

[pfrazee]

that's awesome

[ahdinosaur]

my flatmate, Clemence, contributed another preliminary logo :smile:

[ashlynbaum]

So what was the final decision on the logo?

[ahdinosaur]

no decision yet, i haven't had time to attempt @mixmix's design in inkscape, also leaving some breathing room for any more logos ideas.

another proposal with less colors and a stronger reference to the parent organisation:
