abdulmalikkhan655 commented 6 years ago

if you want i will send you my designed

ramack commented 6 years ago

I am not a designer but a programmer, so graphical support is really appreciated. Pleas take a look to preveious logo and icon discussions. E.g. in#120 and there was other AFAIK. The current pics are not the very best, but I also think they are acceptable and new images should fit into the style...

abdulmalikkhan655 commented 6 years ago

i will make logo for u in new gorgeous style if you give me permission

ramack commented 6 years ago

I don't know what you mean with "gorgeous style". For sure every proposal is allowed, but don't be disappointed if it will not make it in. Also I cannot really follow what you write... In the first comment you said you "designed a new logo" (past) now you say you "will make" one (future).

Also make sure to read and agree to the "Authors and Contribution" section in the readme, including the references and if you want some early feedback, just put a draft here, before investing too much time.

ramack commented 6 years ago

abdulmalikkhan655 commented 6 years ago

ramack commented 6 years ago

abdulmalikkhan655 commented 6 years ago

Hello @ramack this is my logo design select your favorite logo . If there's something you want to change, I'll do it.

ramack commented 6 years ago

First of all Sorry fort the delay, yesterday was too busy to care about free software.

But let's come the the icons. They are really nice, you are talented! Personally I like 9 best.

Your proposals focus on the diary aspect which is reasonable, but I am not sure whether this covers the (planned) functionality of the App. You know the target is to not only have a data store of what you did, as it is with the classical book, but to also interpret the data and indicate if some activity should reaccur soon. And even connect actions like increasing the volume while 'gardening' and keeping the phone quiet while sleeping...

This is what I would like the icon to represent in some way.

ramack commented 6 years ago

@abdulmalikkhan655 do you have an idea how to "integrate" those functionalities into the icon?

Tobaloidee commented 6 years ago

Good day Sir @ramack I am a graphics designer too and i can be of help if you would let me..Thanks and best regards!

ramack commented 6 years ago

@tobaloidee I am happy to see proposals, but it should be consistent within the app...

Tobaloidee commented 6 years ago

Yes Sir..i have read the past issues and infos stated there and ill do my best to come up with a design fit to the app..will start working on it now Sir .thanks!!

Hi Sir @ramack here's my design proposal..Still open for your suggestions and modification..Simple and minimal flat design fit for the app and for being an adaptive icon.

activitydiary-02

icon activitydiary-01

logotypes activitydiary-03

Tobaloidee commented 6 years ago

full color version

activitydiary-04-04

ramack commented 6 years ago

that's nice, thanks.

The orange monochrome one looks even better than the colored version - while the background and shade have a nicer color in the full colored variant, I'd say. Maybe you can also exchange one of the activities by a book (to remind of the diary) - the triangle and the circle look quite abstract to me... Maybe a flower (to remind of gardening) a planer or saw (to indicate woodworking), or a football (playing), or a pan (cooking) could be used instead? Or a film for the cinema?

What I like especially, is that it looks as it would smoothly integrate into the material design icons, so we could keep the pen, photo etc. Do you also have an idea for the feature graphic? Or maybe the symbols in https://github.com/ramack/ActivityDiary/tree/master/artwork/icons ?

Also about the orange: I have chosen it initially because I did not have another orange styled app, and I personally like the color being a differentiation feature. I am already used to it but it does not necessarily stay like that, feel free to suggest another color schema if you think it is better.

Tobaloidee commented 6 years ago

Hi Sir here's my updated version and I also made a feature graphic asset and did a mock up for you to see how it will look like in implementation. I hope you like it.

A icon-01 B icon-02

Feature Graphic A feature-graphic-03

Feature Graphic B feature-graphic-04

Mock-up mock up

Tobaloidee commented 6 years ago

Orange I think is the best color scheme for the App Sir. :) I personally love it and about the symbols in the app it is already good Sir.

Tobaloidee commented 6 years ago

I made a version which i put the shape of a diary with time/schedule idea

activitydiary new-05

ramack commented 6 years ago

I like that one! Maybe the shadow is a bit dark...

Can you then make a pullrequest? - but be sure to check the licensing and all the legal stuff in the readme and referenced documents before and send a PR only if you accept it.

Tobaloidee commented 6 years ago

Sir, I already uploaded the logo files (svg-png) and updated the readme file with this PR #172

the files includes the following:

adaptive icon background adaptive icon foreground main icon logotype a logotype b feature graphic

here's my mock -up for the adaptive icon for you to see.

ezgif com-crop

*i'll share my drive link here for the other color variations

My best regards and thanks for allowing me and accepting my contribution!

-Tobaloidee

ramack commented 6 years ago

the logo is merged, thanks @Tobaloidee.

I have a few more topics, before I wanna close this ticket:

I'd like to mention you as contributor in the "About" page - actually I have added already you github name and a link to your profile there. Anyhow, I'd prefer to honor you with your real name, and an URL at your wish, please tell me what you'd like to have there
in the navigation drawer I have to icons for "select activity" and "history/diary" which are based on the old feature graphics "timeline" and are therefore "outdates". Are you willing to propose something new here, also? (For the diary I think the book with the watch seems a good choice)
Initially I had the plan to put a symbol to each activity, while you have already put 3 activity symbols in the logo... Using symbols could potentially remove the need to the different activities in so "agressivly different" colors. - I guess this is something long running and we can probably use many of the icons from the material design collection but for some it might be good to have a few new ones. Could you imagine to help here, also?

Tobaloidee commented 6 years ago

Sure! i will help you with the other icons..please post here the list of activities that needs an icon so that it is uniform with the ones i have provided.

for my real name it is JC Abuyot and for the URL https://github.com/Tobaloidee

thanks!

Tobaloidee commented 6 years ago

diary history history-diary

select activity select-activity

Tobaloidee commented 6 years ago

ill upload it all thru PR if it is okay with you

ramack commented 6 years ago

probably better than what we have now, but the "select activity" does not really satisfy me - not sure why, though.

Tobaloidee commented 6 years ago

here Sir @ramack ..will upload it all if its approved already

avtivity symbols-11

ramack commented 6 years ago

"office work" looks more like "travelling" - maybe put a desk? And relaxing also doesn't convince me...

I'll happily merge the PR with those, but it will take some time, until I can work on #33, as there are really higher priorities topics to handle fist. Cannot even promise to make it for 1.4, and 1.3 is also not yet out...

Tobaloidee commented 6 years ago

I changed the symbol of office and relaxing and made the bag symbol for traveling

avtivity symbols-11-11

Tobaloidee commented 6 years ago

just take your time in finishing your priorities. I will just be here from time to time and if these symbols are all okay with you i will prep the files and make a PR

Echolon commented 5 years ago

I prefered @abdulmalikkhan655 ideas. more material

ramack commented 5 years ago

@Echolon really? - I am not a designer, but in my impression material design is more simple but still expressive, normally using less colors. This is why I personally prefer the images from @Tobaloidee over those from @abdulmalikkhan655 and in my view they are more "material-like".

But if users - as you - vote for those from @abdulmalikkhan655 I am also open for different pictures. We can even think of providing different styles in the long run, such that the user is free to choose his preferred styling.

Echolon commented 5 years ago

@ramack Okay, I will correct myself. I prefer @abdulmalikkhan655 proposals for the categories. But the icons from @Tobaloidee 's first post. Wouldnt use more than orange and white colors for the logo.

just my 2ct. do what you think is right
