Poll: Update the Ransack Logo

Open scarroll32 opened this issue 3 years ago • 11 comments

The activerecord-hackery logo is IMHO far cooler than the current Ransack logo. This issue proposes replacing the existing logo with the group logo as part of the 3.0.0 release.

Please cast your vote by adding an emoji to this issue!

We also need help from a designer to produce the new assets.

If the vote is a tie, we will stay with the current logo.

In my mind, the Ransack logo makes more sense for Ransack, although maybe less cool indeed. I voted for the current logo but I'm happy if you decide to change it 👍.

I agree, Ideally I'd consider a third option that's not on the list, which includes a search icon instead of the ax, to keep the logo project specific

@Ancez that could be cool ... we would need a designer to create the icon. Any ideas ?

Hmm, so I'm imagining something like this ransack

What do you think? Can tidy it up a bit further. But yeah, we would need a designer, I'm just a developer 🤘

I love this ... simple and clear.

I just added a way to vote for it.

If there are any graphic designers around we could really use a bit of help in producing the chosen image in various formats including favicons. ✋

Why not, looks nice to me too.

@anilkilic you designed Ransack's last logo, would you be available to update it for us with new SVGs etc. ?

scarroll32 avatar Mar 27 '22 19:03 scarroll32

Still looking for a UX person to do the SVGs if available?

The majority still prefers the original so unsure whether the suggested logo is still worth it?

I'll spend some time this week/weekend iterating over it. I would like to use a new magnifying glass though as the suggested one doesn't seem perfect

Has there been a resolution to this? Personally I prefer the magnifier glass over the axe or other objects; and I like blue more than the reddish diamond too. Note I refer to the third image logo actually; while the "R" and lens is interesting, the lens are hard to see, which is why I prefer the look of the lens in the third image.

13 votes to leave it as-is vs 5 votes for the "Rails" logo.

I'm going to call this as leaving it as-is, as close this issue with no changes!
