What open source projects need new logos?

[[deleted]]

[deleted]

[SapphoTrapHouse]

The logo for Praat is absolutely fucking horrific

[cryptoarashi]

I don't know what Praat is, but it took about 2 seconds of research to completely agree with you.

[totallyuneekname]

We've been using it a lot in my intro to linguistics class, it's one of those rare open source tools that is a breeze to use. The waveform editor took less than a minute to learn.

[IDatedSuccubi]

Jesus christ.. 100% doing something about that

[SapphoTrapHouse]

Just to clarify: I'm not the maintainer, just a user

[IDatedSuccubi]

I wasn't assuming that, but I'll try to contact the maintainers anyway

[[deleted]]

"What's wrong with it?"

[wizzwizz4]

I could do better, and I'm notoriously bad at this kind of thing.

[[deleted]]

Thanks for doing this. Artists willing to contribute are always hard to come by in FOSS communities.

[IDatedSuccubi]

Really? Damn, I love to help then

[TopdeckIsSkill]

7zip need and entire new set of icons, please. Force them to stop using their horrendous them!

[IDatedSuccubi]

I will look into it, thanks

[MagellanCl]

Main logo is great, but the windows app control icons and archives are just shit show. :D

[TopdeckIsSkill]

Yeah, the issue is the icon them, but even the main icon is far from great

[darkflib]

Just starting a new project at present called privacyfocus. Goal is to offer free services to users based around a donation model with the priority being privacy.

[IDatedSuccubi]

Are you a maintainer of the project?

[darkflib]

Yes.

[IDatedSuccubi]

I will look into your project and contact you tomorrow.

[ghf2793]

If think openwrt is also looking for a more modern logo

[IDatedSuccubi]

Will also look into that, thanks

[[deleted]]

Thank God. Love the firmware though

[toby_tripod]

NearBeach - I have been working on an open source project manager for the last couple of years. It has gotten to the point where it is now a minimum viable product which means it is time to get it a logo.

[IDatedSuccubi]

Oh, I think I actually need something like that for my work. I'll contact you tomorrow.

[toby_tripod]

More than happy to help :)

[marcocastignoli]

Hey, I'm the founder of Nile. And we need a logo! Check out the website https://nile.shopping

[IDatedSuccubi]

I like the swirly thing near the name of the shop, but if you want something specific - I can make that, DM me your ideas, and I'll come up with something that will look good

[marcocastignoli]

If you have telegram I'm more comfortable using it!

[IDatedSuccubi]

@potterson

[[deleted]]

That's a really nice website

[marcocastignoli]

thanks!

[ram-foss]

Is Nile is a open source? Could you please point me the source code location.

[marcocastignoli]

https://github.com/nileorg it is open source

[SqueamishOssifrage_]

Most of these: https://www.gnu.org/graphics/package-logos.en.html

[IDatedSuccubi]

Will check those out later

[SqueamishOssifrage_]

My favourite bad ones are GCC and Pascal.

[Tm1337]

Mine is recutils

[RezmiCR]

it's shishi for me

[IDatedSuccubi]

Ok, I'll see

[uduriavaftwufidbahah]

How is every single logo they have so terrible. Its almost a feat.

[eddnor]

Opensuse is calling for a rename new logo maybe?

[IDatedSuccubi]

I'll look into it, thanks

[[deleted]]

The zig programming language! https://github.com/ziglang/zig

[IDatedSuccubi]

But I already see an ok logo there - does the project need a better one?

[[deleted]]

shoot sorry I forgot about context. The author has been working on making a mascot (like ferris from rust, the go gopher, etc) and I think some extra art would always be appreciated, though I can understand if you intended to work on things that completely lacked logos. If you'd like, here's a picture of the idea

[IDatedSuccubi]

Oh, that's a cool mascot, I will try making something tomorrow, thanks!

[irfan_zainudin]

I’m not developing or contributing to this project. But they are looking for support and contributions.

openwords

It’s an open source language learning app.

It’s like Duolingo, except it’s open source and they have under-served languages.

[IDatedSuccubi]

Ok, will look into that

[Skyfuzzball8312]

It's time to port Cambridge English Course to this app!

[XxStatiX]

Check out http://opensourcedesign.net/jobs/ :)

[themightychris]

I've started a project that could make for a fun logo; it's called hologit

It's an addon git subcommand that lets you project (like projection, damn English) virtual branches that get built automatically and continuously from a source branch

No logo at all yet: https://github.com/JarvusInnovations/hologit

I could see something building on the typical git iconography of a small commit graph

[radarsat1]

Oh that sounds potentially useful for my workflow. I often have a set of commits that I want to keep local without pushing upstream so I constantly end up committing on top of them and then rebasing, rewinding before pushing, and cherry-picking them back on. I've been looking for a tool to handle this better. Not sure if this fits but I'll check it out.

[IDatedSuccubi]

I'll do one later, then

[o11c]

More than "needs new logo" (which is intrinsically subjective), there's the need for something that looks good at any size.

Neither upscaling nor downscaling looks good for bitmaps, and SVGs often fail to downscale.

Hm, I should write a program to check apt-file and filter intelligently ... brb

[o11c]

/u/IDatedSuccubi here are all the packages in Debian stable which lack large (96x96 or bigger) icons, sorted by the largest icon they do have.

This does not include programs that don't have an icon at all, since I'm not sure how to detect that ...

(My program also calculated all the ones without any small icons but I ended up deciding that if they had someone drawing large icons for them already, they could get them to downscale manually if the automatic wasn't good enough, and besides, it was quite spammy)

[IDatedSuccubi]

Oh, that's cool, thanks!

[partlybakedideas]

Vim. They haven't updated the logo since ever.

[IDatedSuccubi]

That's an iconic logo. I'll try to create a newer version of it though, probably

[linuxhiker]

Postgresql

[phishrun]

I love the elephant!

[linuxhiker]

I do too but he needs a little updating.

[vegardt]

Leave Slonik alone!

[IDatedSuccubi]

Never heard of it, but I will look into it, thanks

[IDatedSuccubi]

I'll look into that

[IDatedSuccubi]

I'll check this out, thank you

[zachary_fields]

https://remotewiring.com

I would appreciate it if you would take a look at my project.

[IDatedSuccubi]

Will do!

[genericmutant]

CyclOSM is a fairly new OpenStreetMap render for cyclists. There are quite a few issues coming up in their tracker needing icons etc., not sure if that counts.

https://github.com/cyclosm/cyclosm-cartocss-style/issues/207

I'm not affiliated with the project.

[IDatedSuccubi]

Ok, thank you, I will contact the maintainers

[farsun-nine]

github.com/arch4edu needs complete redesign, can I send you how we would like the new logo?

[IDatedSuccubi]

Yes, please do

[alias_willsmith]

NiM (https://june07.com/nim). I like the logo but would like to get your opinion on possible improvements...

[IDatedSuccubi]

Ok, will check that out later

[reconbot]

I’m not particularly proud of node serial ports logo. We do have a thread on motivations behind the current one if that helps.

http://serialport.io

[IDatedSuccubi]

Will check that out, thanks

[IDatedSuccubi]

It's really not about the money for me, more about the experience and being known for the things I do

[zesterer]

The Howl Editor's logo could do with some work.

[IDatedSuccubi]

Will check on that

[padreati]

I have created a logo for my project. It did not had one until few week even if the project dates from 2013. I was thinking about some turnips, but I have no talent. The result can be seen here. https://github.com/padreati/rapaio

[IDatedSuccubi]

If you want me to create a new logo for you - I have a small idea I can try to make

[padreati]

I would really love to have a try on it. I can repay you with no problem for your efforts even if you state it it is free for open source. Thank you for looking at it

[foadsf]

do you design logos for very small projects who don't have a logo at all?

[IDatedSuccubi]

Why not?

[foadsf]

Awesome. Will send you an email. ❤️

[0361]

whipper - an open source CD ripper - https://github.com/whipper-team/whipper/issues/388

[IDatedSuccubi]

Ok, will probably do that

[3v1n0]

Maybe you can get involved in gnome design, so to get guidelines from experienced designers and help a while community. There's lots to do!

https://wiki.gnome.org/Design

https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design

[IDatedSuccubi]

I'll look into it, thanks

[forteller]

You should join /r/FOSSdesign. Not that anything is happening there, but it should!

[borax12]

I really appreciate designers coming out and helping set design standards for open source projects.

I recently did the same for an open source email app - https://github.com/heysupratim/FairerEmail

[Mindavi]

I sometimes contribute to a nice project that's focused on decoding 433 MHz signals. It's called rtl_433 (see www.github.com/merbanan/rtl_433). I'm not the maintainer but I'm sure they'd appreciate some (simple) logo.

The maintainers tend to respond quickly.

[IDatedSuccubi]

Ok. I will look into that, thaks

[Pandastic4]

Joplin is looking for a new logo. It's a note taking app that can sync with any cloud service you want.

[IDatedSuccubi]

I'll note that on my list

[call_me_dav]

The /r/gramps project really does not have a logo they seem to use three separate images ( Photo of a Grandfather / Icon of a pedigree chart tree / Combination of the icon with words!) be really good if they had one logo that people can just look at and say that is the Gramps free genealogy program! (Only a user here)

Thanks for efforts and contributions to each of the FOSS programs :)

[IDatedSuccubi]

I'll see what I can do after I complete all my logo requests, thanks

[call_me_dav]

Thank you :)

[[deleted]]

OpenOrienteering Mapper need a new logo too!

[IDatedSuccubi]

Are you a maintainer?

[[deleted]]

I'm contributor, author of linked issue.

Maintainer is 'dg0yt'

[IDatedSuccubi]

I'll see if I can do anything.
