Archived because logos are much better to get in their current form from the project itself. Also see the related discussion about fonts: https://github.com/opensourcedesign/fonts/issues/21

Explore fun new design concepts / branding for Tor #2

Open bnvk opened 8 years ago

bnvk commented 8 years ago

As per this neat start by @mcginty which I really like this start as an improvement over the existing Tor logo / branding- some ideas to explore a few variations (which I'd be also curious to see) are:

Tor logo icon v1

Make the thickness of the T and R a thicker weight font (extra / ultra)
Make the centric rings slightly thicker, currently will lose details scaled down
Make middle dot a little larger in size, like 20% bigger
Add a few more dots (like the center one) placed "randomly / staggered" on the outwards rings
Loose the faint drop shadow

I guess this thread is about https://www.torproject.org/ My first reaction was to think of the https://onionproject.org/ since they presented their project on the FOSDEM "Developers looking for designers show off your project" presentation. So if we produce multiple variations maybe they will be interested in selecting one from the remainders.

Yep, this is focused on Tor Project iconography. The goal with having a liberally licensed asset with sources will be that if a new icon pops up that's ready for larger adoption, it can be easily modified and re-used for subprojects.

@evalica ah, yah there are numerous projects that put that call themselves "OnionSomething" or alternatively "OrSomething" so as to not conflict with Tor's brand identity + official apps such as:

I suggested Jake publish these fun "unofficial" logos for Tor (the organization) to share + get feedback about his designs!

@mcginty like Eva said, you could also re-purpose / modify this for OnionShare, which currently has a slightly lacking logo... maybe you'd want to add some icon relating to "sharing" to your design, and make the icon be the "O" of NIONSHARE
