[Waldir Pimenta]

With the final detail ironed out 
<https://github.com/Julia-i18n/julia-i18n/issues/5>, I'm happy to announce 
that Julia-i18n has officially adopted the J version 
<https://github.com/Julia-i18n/julia-i18n/blob/master/logo.svg> as its logo!

Who said design by committee didn't work? ;) Thanks all for the useful 
comments and suggestions.

This would be a great idea for the JuliaMath organization (current logo is 
ugly).  Waldir Pimenta do you think you could take a stab at this, since 
the logos you created here are lovely.

Re: [julia-users] Re: Julia-i18n logo proposal

[John Gibson]

I also prefer the "J" one (http://imgh.us/julia-i18n-j.svg). It's more 
balanced. The Hindi "ja" in particular fits the circle better and looks 
more balanced without the diacritic "uu" (the loopy thing underneath).

Nice job!

Re: [julia-users] Re: Julia-i18n logo proposal

[Waldir Pimenta]

Here are the options with Arabic on top. I made two versions, one with the 
"Ju" sound, and one with the "J" sound. Take a look at the source code for 
the SVG files (julia-i18n-ju.svg <http://imgh.us/julia-i18n-ju.svg>, 
julia-i18n-j.svg <http://imgh.us/julia-i18n-ju.svg>) for more details :)

Let me know which one you like best.

[julia-users] Re: Julia-i18n logo proposal

[Waldir Pimenta]

The goal here is to use different scripts to symbolize the notion of 
internationalization (i18n). That idea could be nice for an organization 
like JuliaMath  (but that one already has a 
very nice logo made from the Julia set, which I think is more elegant :)

Re: [julia-users] Re: Julia-i18n logo proposal

[Waldir Pimenta]

Thanks for all the feedback! I think it's fair to say most people are 
pending towards Arabic characters in the top circle. I am considering 
keeping the consonant-vowel pair جو 
<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D8%AC%D9%88> there, since the Indic जू 
<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E0%A4%9C%E0%A5%82> is ja+u as well, and 
the Chinese 朱 <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%9C%B1> also includes the 
"u" sound -- so this would retain the symmetry. I'll post the updated 
proposal soon.

Re: [julia-users] Re: Julia-i18n logo proposal

[Sébastien Celles]

Hello,

Nice logo but I don't like "J" on top which sound a bit 
"occidental-centred".
Most Julia code use latin characters... so maybe for i18n we could avoid 
latin characters
So I'd remove "J" in this logo
I would put arabic character (ج or جو) into green circle
keep 朱 in the red circle
and an indic character into the purple circle because there's an active 
Julia community in India

Thanks

+1 for the letters 'جو' in the green circle. (Yes, these are two letters, a 
consonant and a vowel!)
Another option is to only use the first single letter 'ج', or its modern 
variation 'چ', which would be the equivalent of 'J' in Arabic. Personally, I 
think it'd look nicer too.
Thanks,Islam

That's an interesting idea. And Arabic tends to be associated with the color 
green (well, Islam moreso, but the correlation is pretty high nevertheless), so 
we'd also get a nice pairing of character-color as with the Chinese one :)
Looking forward to hear what other folks think.

[mmh]

Cool logo, IMO the "J" at the top looks a little out of place and not 
balanced with the other two glyphs

That's an interesting idea. And Arabic tends to be associated with the 
color green (well, Islam moreso 
, but the correlation is 
pretty high nevertheless), so we'd also get a nice pairing of 
character-color as with the Chinese one :)

Looking forward to hear what other folks think.

Or just remove the J and put the three characters from the other scripts? 

Re: [julia-users] Re: Julia-i18n logo proposal

[Waldir Pimenta]

I made a variant using an Indic script (Devanagari), which may be a better 
choice both because there's an active Julia community in India 
(significantly more so than in Arabic-speaking countries, AFAIK), and 
because it actually looks more balanced graphically, with strokes of 
similar size and shape in the three circles. It still uses the first 
character (well, in this case it's a consonant-vowel pair) of the word 
"Julia". Here are both images, for comparison:






Any preferences / opinions?

 It uses the three most used scripts worldwide, and the characters are 
 actually the start of the word “Julia” as written in each of those scripts.

 Looking forward to know what you guys think.

What a nice coincidence! That was totally unintended :)

"朱" means a kind of red colors in Japanese 
(https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%B1%E8%89%B2). You placed it at the 
best circle of the logo.
