Create book cover art
This Project needs some art and color, so for that we would need a cover. If you have a suggestion, post it in this issue.
The design team will take care of the final image. But we need to make the prototype.

Here is a prototype for the cover. Please leave your input.
My input: I think that the Python and Kotlin logos stand out more. So less name of language and more language icons.
@FilipeRamalho the name is only a placeholder so that at least something is placed there. I would especially need suggestions for a background of the cover. The current one is just there to get a feel for how the logo would look on an actual cover.
To add it, we could use this: https://plugins.gitbook.com/plugin/embed-pdf
@cozyplanes Assembly since it doesn't have an official logo and the most associated thing I could find are asm file icons.
It's amazing so far. Great job @Parou
My only suggestion would be to use brighter and more saturated background colours. If you go to www.devrant.com on a desktop, you will see the saturated bright design. The rant backgrounds there have consistently bright and saturated design so i think it could be symbolic if you made the background of the book cover that way too. :)
However, take this with a pinch of salt as I'm not really a designer. Good luck :)
@c3ypt1c The background is just a placeholder to see the logo placed on a potential cover, although the others seem to like it what was very unexpected from my side...
What I thought about was to maybe ask the writers to write a short code example that I could use for little pictures placed next to each other as the background for the cover with syntax highlighting and stuff. That could be simple hello worlds or something funny.
Placeholder name can be replaced by: A Ginormous Guide for the Myriad of Languages - A devRant collab.
@Parou if you need anything, like those code snippets, you can ask* at the design channel in Discord.
