[meta] Logo Suggestions

[martinrieder]

Any software deserves to have logo, so I am starting this issue for sharing and discussing any suggestions. With Daniel Rojas being the originator of this great tool, he deserves the right to make the final choice. We could still have a community vote (before the next major release?) to come up with the best candidates. Feel to also list some criteria that the logo shall fulfill. @formatc1702 @kvid @amotl

I will start by posting some of my suggestions, putting each one in a separate comment for easier reference. Please use the emoji reactions below each one to provide direct feedback.

I suggest using e.g. SVG to enable high-quality scaling when needed. Maybe see how these projects store logos:

• https://github.com/simple-icons/simple-icons
• https://github.com/gilbarbara/logos

I agree that there are some good reasons for choosing SVG, though I do not see this as a limiting factor by itself. It only implies some limitations regarding simplicity and coloring though... I feel confident that I can vectorize them using Inkscape. Contributions in raster images are also welcome, yet even pen-and-paper format if anyone here feels creative!

I must admit that I left the creativity part to an AI, which came up with some interesting suggestions. It seems to be legasthenic though, so some spelling correction must be done...

AFAIK there is no LLM that was trained on vector images, so I used DALL-E3. Let me know if you want to see the prompts for these. Some are minimalist and easy to vectorize, but others a bit more fancy and colorful. Please cast your vote and I will try my best to vectorize.

They all look good but I think that most of them are tomuch, crowded, complicated.
Something simpler would be much better, nine, goes in to the right direction.

Consider how they work in different sizes, like a github profile picture or a desktop icon.
