ANNOUNCEMENT: - The logo of RxDB

[pubkey]

Hello guys. As you may have noticed, I created a logo for RxDB. My plan is that we now further improve the logo to get a final version. Everything, the colors, the shapes, the format is changeable by you.

Thoughts on the current version:

• It displays the shapes of the "official" database-logo
• The main color is the one from rxjs
• The logo follows the FFF concept and should be recognized as made by open-source-developers, not by a big company.
• The logo should be recognizeable very big and even as favicon-size.

Current version:

I will later print some stickers and distribute them to RxDB-users. So give your best and you get one. :wink:

How to contribute:

I made the logo with plain javascript + d3.js. So feel free to create pull-requests to this file.

Problems with the current version:

• We need a version which optional displays the name "RxDB"
• The colors are not perfect (just my opinion)
• The proportions of the 3 big blocks, do not give the impression of the "offical"-database-logo.
• The pattern of the small blocks is not "random enough"

I don't have a submission, but to hopefully give some inspiration the custom Rx-related logos on Egghead look quite nice: https://egghead.io/technologies/rx

FWIW I like the idea of combining Rx with the classic three-row DB logo in some way.

Thx @iansinnott . I changed the colors a bit. What do you think?

New version:

• Changed color so it doesn't look like the logo got washed too often
• removed some pixels so it does not look like created from a five-years-old
• fixed render-mode so there is no halo around the blocks

pre_final version:

TODO: Fix font-family / font-size / font-weight

Nice! IMHO the pixels sparking of the top and bottom from the earlier version looked okay as well.

Maybe last version:

• changed font-family
• added font as vector so its equal on every os
