Dear all, The gallery <https://tw-logo-contest.tiddlyhost.com/> is now up to date including James' latest submission with emoji. Of course, multi-submission authors will need to winnow our offerings.
I'd love to hear more feedback in the spirit of what Télumire offered over the weekend. For what it's worth, the images chosen for version banners, up to now, are remarkably heterogeneous -- there's no history of sticking to the fonts used on tiddlywiki.com, nor to any particular palette, and even the TiddlyWiki name was never part of the banner image until 5.1.23 (and invoking a precedent for not using masks seems odd given the heterogeneity of version banners, though I respect individual aesthetic reactions). If there's some emerging consensus around any of these points, then I think we'd all welcome reflections on such things. There's a delicate balance, in this open-source world between volunteer/amateur enthusiasm and expertise. I love the spirit of this banner image competition, and yet I also recognize that designers (such as Duarte Farrajota Ramos, who won the poster competition <https://tiddlywiki.com/poster/>) really do bring skills to the challenge of communicating clearly and efficiently through images. In this spirit, it's worth reflecting further on the audience for this (and other) TiddlyWiki imagery and publicity. Are we looking for images that will feel accessible to those who know little about TiddlyWiki and its innards, or are we aiming primarily to communicate with those who already recognize JSON or curly brackets as familiar reference-points? Both the puzzle-piece logo of 5.1.22 and the modular shape in Atro's 5.1.23 image presuppose no programming-literacy. The JSON file-icon gesture in Mohammad's entry seems to be at the other end of the spectrum: it surely speaks clearly and elegantly to many users who are at home in code, but perhaps at the risk of intimidating someone who is browsing for a free, flexible, publishable and future-proof alternative to bloatware like evernote, and who would be only slowly tempted to peek under the hood (or "bonnet" for you Brits;) ). What do you all think? -Springer On Saturday, June 26, 2021 at 11:45:11 AM UTC-4 Télumire wrote: > Hi everyone, here's my honest feedback, I hope it will be useful : > > springer > <https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/eccIEHZoxsI/m/jQ1dPEyKAwAJ> : > love the simplicity of it. ...
