Create a logo

Open ascott1 opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

The site is really minimalist both by design (it's fast!) and need (I wanted to get something out the door while focusing on writing). That said, I think there's value in having an Ethical Web Development logo. If nothing else I'd love to have hex stickers to pass out at conferences, etc.

Here's my first attempt:

Thoughts? I'd sincerely appreciate feedback.

As soon as I posted this I realized how similar it is to the MIT logo. Darn subconscious.

That said, it is also a semi-deliberate not to the Human Rights Campaign's Equality logo:

This looks kind of...impersonal to me. It seems like the logo should invoke the feeling of ethics, and ethical behavior. Maybe incorporate human hands, two humans facing each other, etc.?

You're completely right about that @danmunz. Thank you!

I think the Ruby For Good logo does a good job of balancing a clean aesthetic with a welcoming design:

(I'm so not good at branding)

In lieu of the A.I. storm, have you considered trying to have an AI generate a logo? If nothing else, it'll give you a few good laughs :wink:
