Logo suggestion

Open alshakero opened this issue 8 years ago • 10 comments

@tomalec and I have talked about building a github.io website for JSON-Patch in our free time. It would yield a good marketing boost if we make one. And it's super easy with ready readme.md and JSDoc viewers. For this to happen, we need a logo and a color palettes. So I prepared this logo, what do you think?

The main problem is that this repo has a little bit of an identity crisis.

Is it called "Fast-JSON-Patch" or "JSON-Patch"?

We tried to the name a while ago. We have consistently renamed it to "Fast-JSON-Patch" (including the URL). What happened next is that this project dropped in Google search results from page 1 to page 3 or so... and did not come back for many months! So we've reverted to "JSON-Patch".

I think that the right logo would be something more of "Starcounter Jack's JSON-Patch" at this point. Or a no logo as it is now.

@warpech I see, it's not a big deal, the logo isn't the issue here, it's just a stepping stone toward the website. So maybe I can design sth that doesn't have any text. Because a website without a logo hardly looks nice.

What about using JSON-Patch as "main" logo and adding small "fast" and "by .." to it? That way from page design point of view, it would be clear that the page is about JSON Patch implementation, but we will also indicate the package name an owner

Now that the website is being realised. A logo is a real need.

After a little thinking, I vote for advertising it as fast-json-patch. Because no one needs to remember the repo's name, but everyone needs to remember the NPM's name to (npm install fast-json-patch). So I propose this logo:

Hope you like it

:+1: from me as well.

Regarding the logo, I would say it's hard to read first two letters, is it FJ or EJ or even A, as the spaces are so tiny.

What about just mixing JSON logo with a diff icon and something to indicate speed?

At first sight I thought it was a clock between the letters, colors are barely visible. Also the clock may suggest that it's time related for example time consuming :-1: or has to do something with history or timeline of changes 😕 I would change the seed symbol either to lightning ⚡️ , rocket 🚀 , rush lines as in https://cdn3.iconfinder.com/data/icons/hero/500/fast-512.png 🏃 /🏃‍♀️

Then we do not have "f" nor "fast" in the logo it self, but we could or could not put it on a side of it (depending on the name we would like to have). but the logo will match our implementation goal to keep it fast.

Cool! A nice rebus :) Can be written in unicode, too: {⚡±}

warpech avatar Jul 05 '17 10:07 warpech

but now it's "JSON fast patch", what about ⚡{±}?

@tomalec I guess it looks too sparse and weird, but here you go image
