Corners round, line caps rectangular #2

Closed jdittrich closed 5 months ago

Just to check – I wondered why the line caps are rectangular, whereas the outward corners of the logo are all rounded. If there is a purpose to it, its all fine, otherwise I would suggest to use round line caps for a more coherent look.

Good point! Especially the top-left cap would probably look better rounded.

Maybe some small serifs at the bottom might help, too?

Give it a try!

Maybe… I would only do that if you have experience with type design, it will be tricky to integrate, as you need to reflect that style in the rest of the icon, which currently has a relatively clean style with a constant line width and simple caps.

I changed the top-bar, wdyt?

Looks good to me, though I would go all-in and have all outer corners and caps round (including the bottom ones).

I didn't like it at first, but now I agree that it looks better. I'll make the change.
