Hi !

I could come up with the logo. Just let me know the preferences @humphd :)

I have no preferences! Try something and see what the other devs think.

I've an idea for a logo:

What do you think ?

@humphd @LostButton @batunpc @saminarp @rudychung @anshul137 @devils2ndself, thoughts?

That could work, though personally not a bige fan of that color palette

Looks good, but agree with @LostButton, could maybe switch up the colors.

@mnosov622 First of all, thanks for sharing this with us!

I agree with @LostButton and @rudychung. We could definitely improve the overall design. Maybe choose colours that the rest of us can agree on.

Also, perhaps we could include the project name in the logo?

Let me know your thoughts!

Thank you @mnosov622 for coming up with this! 😃

I also think we can change the colors, experiment with different color palettes and show us different options. Usually, photo-related applications have colorful logos. We can also keep it simple drawing inspiration from other social media logos such as Instagram, Twitter :)

I really like it! I agree with others that iterating on the colours would be a good idea. Thanks for leading this effort.

Thank you for feedback ! What colors do you think we should consider for a logo ?

No idea, do some research https://99designs.ca/blog/tips/logo-color-meanings/

Or, perhaps, something lighter ?

@mnosov622 Just an idea: What if we keep the inner lens (the neon bit) and maybe consider it our logo? Could we give each segment a different colour, based on its meaning?

We should rule out colour combinations which would make the logo hard to see when added to the navbar.
In the final version, we could change the text's font family/size/weight/position, etc., and restyle the lens if needed.

You may want to look into https://coolors.co/ as it automatically generates a colour palette.

Let me know your thoughts!

Hi @SerpentBytes .

Got it ! What colors would we prefer ?

Hi @SerpentBytes .

Got it ! What colors would we prefer ?

Something that would pop out due to the dark colour of our navbar, maybe a light color pallette

Let me know if I understand the preferences correctly ?

Or it's ugly ?

@mnosov622. I am not sure. My previous comment was more of a suggestion than a preference, as logo design is not my strength. Ultimately, you are the designer, so dazzle us, perhaps? 🙂

Sure !

I like this one. Very soft and quite appealing. What do you say ?

Hi guys !

What do you think ?

Not sure if anyone here has played Portal before, but it looks very close to the Aperture Laboratories one. 😆

But it should, given that they're both based on the aperture of a camera. Other than that, I think it looks distinct enough to be recognizable.

Agree, I think the previous one seemed more unique. I wouldn't copy anything existing.

Oh, I didn't know there's similar logo. What do we do then ?

Hi guys !

So, what do we do here ?

This is a great question, and comes up all the time in open source. Someone has to decide, and often people put it off, or hope someone else will do it.

I'd say we use the original design, not copy an existing one.

I'd like to hear some updates on the research you did about logo colour choices. You never responded to that above.

I didn't copy the existing one. I just took the suggestion above and created a logo with the lenses.

Abou the colors: I think blue color pallete is a good idea for this project to evoke calmness and trust, so that users will use our platform for their needs.

Apologies if it seemed like I said you were copying; that's not what I meant. My point was that we should try to do something unique, now that we know that this other design is already taken.

Sounds good. Can you move toward a PR that includes the logo's raw file(s) as well as generating all the static versions we'll need for various platforms/sizes? You can use something like https://app-manifest.firebaseapp.com/.

I'm sorry. I understood you the wrong way :)

Sure, I will do that !

Hi guys !

What do you think of this logo:

@mnosov622 That's creative, and I am digging the choice of colours. I think we should use the project name which is "My Photohub"

@mnosov622, could you add the logo to the PR you created? Thank you.

Sure !

Or experimenting with font:

Text using this font could be a little challenging to read for some.

Yeah agree. What about something like that:

Easier to read. I would wait for feedback from others on this. 👍🏼

Yeah, sure !

I was just wondering, why did you switch from the original font?
Sorry, didn't see one of your comments.

It's okay :)

The bold one looks much more readable !

For now, we've come up with this logo:

Yeah agree. What about something like that:

I like this one with the bold letters :)

Hi Samina,

Yeah, that looks great !

Yeah agree. What about something like that:

I like this one with the bold letters :)

Let me know if we go with this one and I will create icons with different sizes :)

LGTM. ✅ I would wait to hear back from others, though.

I like this one as well 🤩

Looks good!
