Re: [cgiapp] CGI::Application Logo
If this is a requirement, I work with someone who does professional design things, and he considers the logo as not good (inaccurate translation possible). And no, he won't do it for free.

Re: [cgiapp] CGI::Application Logo
It seems like CrowdSPRING or 99Designs might be appropriate for something like this.

Re: [cgiapp] CGI::Application Logo
I'll get my designer to do some concepts for free and post them here. I know Mark was interested in associating CGI::App with tree (hence the new site design).

[cgiapp] Logos, herding rats
Hi guys, I'm a long time lurker, sometimes user of CGI::APP. Awsome stuff. Thank you guys a million. I have learned a ton about programming reading this list. As I read the recent thread about the new logo proposal, I was reminded fondly of my professor from art school who said words like One cannot teach how to make a design the right way. It is more like chasing rats around in a maze screaming at them when they go the wrong way. I think he was screaming at me about some horrible design mistake I had made. Thanks to Ron Savage for having the courage and initiative to present his idea to the group and to start the discussion. Logo's are a very important part of branding as a whole, and I think I totally missed the part of the design process where those branding fundamentals get discussed. Ron states his the colors in his logo are intended to be warm, friendly and comforting. Is the community in agreement with this branding? I have those feelings for the community, but are there other aspects of CGI::App that you would seek to communicate to outsiders in your branding? For me, one thing that has always been good about the project is how the core module stays simple, but also the more recent stuff that has been built on top for a more feature rich framework. It's a stable thing that has historically been well managed. So I would look for logos that communicated this idea of a simple, stable core with rich add-on feature set. Another thing that has interested/impressed me over the years is meeting/seeing/reading CGI::App community members in other software communities. OpenMelody is just the most recent example of this. Our community reaches out into others; and can even underlie other projects, both in the code sense and as individual community members. Regarding a design process, I have almost always seen a series of up to ten black and white logo ideas considered and sifted through before color was ever discussed. The ideas can be very quick; e.g. not fully developed. Issues like form and typography are often more easy to design/resolve in black and white. I would also caution that peoples response to color tends to be culturally biased. Even colors as simple as black and white do not carry the same meaning in eastern and western cultures.
