Create logo #13

Closed rsubtil closed 1 year ago

rsubtil commented 2 years ago

RetroHub has no logo. It needs a logo. That's it really ¯_(ツ)_/¯

lynnpepin commented 1 year ago

I love the idea for this project! My favorite games have hub worlds, and I love the idea of a hub world for emulators. I found this project because you had it tagged for Hacktoberfest! :)

What do you think of this logo? I like to think of this screen being like the portals in Gauntlet: Dark Legacy or the paintings in Super Mario 64.

If you like this as is, I'd love to make a PR to add it as the logo.

*Oops, and an alternate version with easier-to-read text

rsubtil commented 1 year ago

Hey, thank you for your contribution!

I like the logo concept, good job! I'm still in doubt in the text though; making it darker helped making it readable, but it still feels a bit too hard to read it properly.

Regardless, go ahead and open a PR to submit this version (the most recent one, with the dark text)! RetroHub is still in "alpha" and I've yet to think of a general design for it, so there's no point in me suggesting changes to the logo right now without having yet a clear idea on how the app will look like.

For the PR, I suggest placing the files under assets/icons/app. Let me know if you already have a license you wish to place your icon under. If not, no worries, I'll handle licensing stuff later on and I'll suggest you one (almost certainly something under Creative Commons). I'll then place the logo in the README.md, in the app eventually when I create an UI for it, and credit your contribution.

Once again, thank you for your work!

Understood, and thank you!

I put the GIMP .xcf source file + a few alt versions under assets/icons/app, without touching any other files. I'm happy with whatever license you choose, so long as it's a reasonably open license. I'll make a PR now!
