Improve bazel icon #1610

Closed zaucy closed 2 months ago

zaucy commented 2 months ago

Description

Improved bazel icon. The old icon didn't have the separation lines which makes it look bad when used in applications such as neovim or other TUI applications.

Any background context you can provide?

Bazel icon was modified by myself

Thanks for the improvement!

Turns out good, just one nitpick, the gap seems to be non-constant in width? A bit narrower at A than at B?

Finii commented 2 months ago

I wonder if these two have the same 'problem'?

Kotlin and Rubi

But then, 'rubi' is a bad search term

Finii commented 2 months ago

And firebase?

And we have some alternative kotlin icon in the repo, which would turn out the same because fonts just have color or transparent, so one needs to crate the gaps.

As usual, each bug is a rabbit hole.

That's fair! It was eyeballed. I could clean it up a bit.

Yeah I think a few icons could benefit from some transparent gaps. They show up so much better that way IMO.

Also remember having seen E511 with eyes :thinking:

Kotlin

The striped logo is obsolete, with the one rouchgly K shaped block we have already the latest and correct one. See assets in https://kotlinlang.org/docs/kotlin-brand-assets.html

Firebase

They have a monochrome icon, see https://firebase.google.com/brand-guidelines/ Will change.

Ruby

Does not have a canonical monochrome icon, https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/about/logo/

Bazel

There is no monochrome icon, but from the design ideas presented here https://blog.bazel.build/2017/07/05/new-logo-and-homepage.html it seems that the proposed change by zaucy is 'correct', at least if one does not want just the outside lines of the cubes.
