Icon-Logo Proposal

[Tobaloidee]

Hi Sir @lukesampson ,Good day! I am a graphic designer and I want to contribute to your amazing project by proposing an icon-logo design. If you like and want to use it, I will be gladly sending you the files as a gift to the project for free. Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions. I saw that Scoop does not have a logo yet that's why i am proposing one.
here it is Sir with 3 variations:

icons

logotypes

I hope you will like and use it Sir.

Thanks and best regards!

Greetings @Tobaloidee I'm also a graphic designer and I must say I love your concept, great work!

I'd like to make a suggestion for improvement:

• Add a little more weight to the lines and the S, also increase the spacing on the elements. The logo will be used a lot in lower resolutions and smaller sizes, making it harder to scale down like this.

That's just it :)

This looks pretty nice 😃

Maybe the small > should be removed as to simplify the logo and make it easier to identify at small resolutions.

Also, what font did you use for the logotype? Make sure its license allows usage in a logo – the font should preferably be licensed under an open source license.

[apintocr]

@Calinou removing the > will destroy the concept of the logo. From my point of view, that's something to keep.

Regarding the font, it should be double checked for the license.

[apintocr]

@Tobaloidee I really like the improvement!

Much more readable and kept the same feel :)

Please keep the > as it is in my opinion the core concept. But I do agree that in small sizes it gets reduced visibility.

Maybe making a different icon for smaller sizes? It's a growing Trent (responsive logos) that makes a lot of sense in the digital world.

But it is very good as is and can be used without further changes, the suggested improvements can be done as needed :)

Beside logo, I'm interested in whether there will be a mascot proposal. 😝

I did some adjustments and have made it more simple and removed the symbol and i think it is just as fine and more visible in small size..here's it is with its favicon actual size

actual favicon size 32x32

The font i use in the logotype is Myriad Pro

The font i use in the logotype is Myriad Pro

Myriad Pro appears to be a proprietary Adobe font. Please look at using an open source font such as Source Sans Pro, Noto Sans or Lato instead.

[Tobaloidee]

changed font to source sans pro

[gbursson]

"S" in the logo looks funny. As if the top curve wa longer than the bottom one, looks unbalanced for the lack of better word.

Other than that - kudos!

Another Logo by @ekoeryanto (See: #2674)

[ekoeryanto]

@r15ch13 thanks for looping me here.

(See: #2261)

eh, why did you point to the same issue page?

[r15ch13]

@ekoeryanto copy paste fail 😁

[excitoon]

For me it is too many details in logo...

[ekoeryanto]

@excitoon which logo?

[Garfield550]

When I first saw this icon, I thought it was a digital currency icon.

[IhnatKlimchuk]

How about this?

[dsbert]

So what does this icon specifically represent about scoop? Seems a bit generic at the moment.

Edit: I just realized it is intended to look like a spoon.

What about the Hack font?

[Calinou]

@kiedtl Hack is a fixed-width font with a very different appearance, it probably wouldn't fit the logo's current style.

[kiedtl]

Not so sure about that. Even if Hack doesn't look nice, I think either Fira or FiraCode would do.

close
although it seems to be something harmless, small but beautiful, is something that goes against the basic principles of the scoop:
be functional, nothing more than functional, only functional

to continue without any logo allows the same to pass this virtual image of the program is focused exclusively on functions and not on trivial things that the mass wants
because we are frank, to use scoop, you must have a minimum of intellect. less than 10% of the world's computer users would be able to use the scoop
using an icon or logo would be against your own self-philosophy

[kiedtl]

Why close the issue?

[rollingmoai]

See my reasoning in #4828. @rashil2000, can this issue be reopened as most people would likely want to have this one?

Additionally, if we have a logo we can get to put Scoop in https://github.com/discord/discord-open-source (#3240 (comment)).

Scoop has a logo now: https://github.com/ScoopInstaller.png
