Create a project mascot or logo #107

Open labra opened 2 months ago

labra commented 2 months ago

Given that the new name we chose for the command line is rudof, which is inspired by rudolf, it seems quite obvious that we should add a mascot and logo for this project which can be inspired by Rudolf.

With a small search, I found some interesting articles about other the mascots for other projects, so why not adding our own mascot.

One nice thing about Rudolf is that the reindeer antlers could look like two small RDF graphs which are attached to the head and given that the idea of this project is about adding shapes to RDF graphs, that could even have a point.

I am not good at drawing logos or similar so by now, I let this issue open with the hope that someone could give it a try or suggest some open/free picture that we could use or adapt.

A simple Google search for possible pictures.

And in case someone is interested about the origins of Rudolf, this Gettysburg Times article describes how Robert L. May created the iconic Red Nosed Reindeer Rudolf around 1939.

During the Japan biohackathon 2024, Yasunori Yamamoto has created a first proposal:

rudof_logo

Based on that, I attempted to add a smile, which resulted in another one:

rudof_logo2

Neither Yasunori nor me are designers, so we are open to help and suggestions...

Apart of the logos, I think it would be nice to add also a mascot...
