Logotype

Open larsbrinkhoff opened this issue 10 years ago • 18 comments

The current ForthHub logotype is a simple combination of a colon definition and the friendly Forth prompt:

I'm happy to take suggestions for a fancier logo.

Maybe the lower half of this thought-provoking book cover?

@jkotlinski I turned that into a header image for: /r/Forth

But I do also like @larsbrinkhoff's image (it's a bit more serious haha...)

These Android app icons are also cool:

to pick up an cute animal (maybe an imaginary one) to serve as the mascot and logo will make the tech less cold

A cute animal like the GForth SWAP dragon

The SWAP dragon seems just perfect to me! If everyone likes it, maybe we can commission someone who is actually great at drawing? I would be happy to donate for that cause.

I wanted Swap too, but I couldn't borrow it due to this copyright thing. And I'm not the best artist around.

Swap, the dragon

And for double the fun, there's the quadriceptical 2SWAP...

Good news, I found an illustrator that volunteered to do the swap dragon pro bono :) So let's wait and see the results!

Zeila Dell Arte, an artist at the company I work at, volunteered and made this drawing for the group :) What do you think? I love it!

Let's try it out!

As you can see (when the caches are updated), the wings got cropped. Could you ask for the design to be adapted to a square format?

Also, it's a little bit hard to see the details in the size used in user profiles:

mascotte dragon 4rth-01

Hi! Here is a new version that is more rectangular...

Another thing I wondered is how to properly give credit for the logo? It would be nice if it somehow was reachable, some info text about who made it. But I am still very new to Github so I am not sure what is the appropriate way to do things like that...

jkotlinski avatar Jun 08 '15 18:06 jkotlinski

I'll put the file in a repo, and then we can add credits in a README.

Also, a LICENSE would be nice.
