I have read most of the posts on this and have a few suggestions, notions
and comments on potentially creating the right brand for tiddlywiki.
I am aware I may be shot down for this - but I echo the years of comments
from hundreds of clients and friends with whom I have shared the wonder of
TW.
Almost to a man ( or woman ) they scoff at "tiddlywiki" as being twee in
their perspective of the "brand / name"
- Adam Shepherd's design rings true in many ways .... but mostly in the
icon / logo being square ( best shape for most uses )
- Since I first bumped into TW - I believe the "disconnects" are the
"wiki" "tiddly" "cat" "fish"
- With the exception of wiki - what purpose for *recall* do the animals
have? If you HAD TO USE AND ANIMAL - perhaps an elephant would portray the
ability to never forget or lose data, ideas etc .
- *Some relevant* google search results
- ...Tumblr *1.86B*
- ...Posterous - closed for 5 years now *1.79M*
- ...tiddlywiki *682K* ------ not many by comparison - so any
rebranding will be HOPEFULLY witnessed by a fresh new market -
there's little damage that can be done with a brand / logo change
as those who *know *TW ARE the vast majority of those who *use it*.
The *big market* is still out there waiting to discover the magic
tiddlywiki offers.
and they are unaware of the branding issue
- TW is a magic organiser in one place
- one file - with all it's parts beautifully connected -
- easy to learn -
- a wondrous challenge to master -
- globally useful -
- free -
- a community of support and ideas.
- My suggestion for the LOGO - ) for the likes of Adam Shepherd to
mock up ) - is a *spherical rubiks cube* -
sort of like this BUT with :
- a variety of colour
- fewer "nodes"
- more variance between *closed and open *.....

-
- where every "node" is interconnected..
- and easy to manipulate
- That also represents :
- global,
- malleable,
- smart,
- organised,
- solid,
- reliable in operation ......
- and ( sort of emulates the wikipedia format but dynamic - ref :
