Re: [Nix-dev] Logo improvement ideas

Thanks, Nathan. This indeed looks very close to Myriad so I've updated the poll images to use Vegur now. Now that I see them side by side I actually prefer the tighter "s" of Carlito, but I'm not too fussed either way. On Sat, Sep 12, 2015 at 3:32 PM, Nathan Bijnens wrote: >

Does anyone feel like the S in the NixOS typeface in the new logos is too narrow? I love the new graphical logo proposals, but the typeface bothers me a little. On Fri, Sep 11, 2015 at 10:14 AM, Tim Cuthbertson wrote: > I've now updated this form with the remaining options, so

Re: [Nix-dev] Logo improvement ideas

Instead of giving 4 choices for each logo, you should ask to rank the logo. Also, I would love to have more choices. For example, I think the hex logo would be nicer with the weight of the straight lambda. Maybe instead of asking for specific logo, we could ask for different details, such as the

I've now updated this form with the remaining options, so I think it is nearly ready to go. I'll let it stew for a few days in case anyone has suggestions for improvement before we start collecting results, but does anyone know who we'd talk to to get a link somewhere official (twitter / planet /

If nobody authoritative wants to set up a poll, I can certainly do one :) I'm a little bit busy at the moment, but as long as we're not in a hurry... To prevent overwhelming people with options, and after letting these stew for a little while, I'd be happy to limit choices to: * shapes: just

Re: [Nix-dev] Logo improvement ideas

Perhaps someone can set up a poll or something and engage people to vote for it, to see if people prefer to stay with the old logo, or if a new logo is preferred. Personally, I like the old logo better, but that's just my opinion :) (The new logo also looks nice btw) Cheers, Rob On Tue, Sep 8,

Tim has invested some time in making great logos, and everybody seems to like the hex-half version. It would be too sad to loose his job, so what is the next step ? Who is authorized to do such a modification ? Brand nex NixOS logo ! We can tune the logo for other media later, when we print

Perhaps we should also have separate (but related) logos for each of the NixOS projects: Nix, NixOS, NixOps, etc. to help people understand how they fit together. 2015-08-25 18:16 GMT+02:00 Cillian de Róiste cillian.deroi...@gmail.com: Hi Tim, Very interesting designs! There was some talk at

Re: [Nix-dev] Logo improvement ideas

All of the logos Tim has proposed look like clear improvements over the current one to me. I think we should just pick one and use it! There's no downside to adopting one of these logos, since they maintain the same basic design as the current one but with cleaner, modernized design. I think we

Re: [Nix-dev] Logo improvement ideas

Thanks for the feedback, folks. I hadn't seen that haskell logo page, good to know where this stuff comes from. My variants definitely take out the snowflake qualities for a bit more of a blocky geometrical look. Which I think works well for a logo, but might be biased ;) I've now added a

Re: [Nix-dev] Logo improvement ideas

Thanks Tim, I think we definitely need a new logo, for at least 2 reasons: - The overlap of the lambda does not render correctly in all software. - The colors are not industrial printers friendly. All your proposal are well addressing the first issue, by removing the overlap and adding extra

Re: [Nix-dev] Logo improvement ideas

Nicolas, You raise a very good point about the print-appropriate colours. On reflection, I think the blues I've chosen are possibly among the worst for print reproduction ;) Regarding the gradient, I think it's common enough to have a full-color digital logo (including gradients / shading), with
