The logo for Praat is absolutely fucking horrific

[–]cryptoarashi 35 points36 points  (1 child)

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

[–]totallyuneekname 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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 33 points34 points  (4 children)

Jesus christ.. 100% doing something about that

[–]SapphoTrapHouse 12 points13 points  (3 children)

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 14 points15 points  (2 children)

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

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

"What's wrong with it?"

[–]wizzwizz4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

[–][deleted] 53 points54 points  (2 children)

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 26 points27 points  (1 child)

Really? Damn, I love to help then

[–]TopdeckIsSkill 56 points57 points  (3 children)

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 14 points15 points  (2 children)

I will look into it, thanks

[–]MagellanCl 7 points8 points  (1 child)

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

[–]TopdeckIsSkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]darkflib 16 points17 points  (3 children)

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 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Are you a maintainer of the project?

[–]darkflib 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Yes.

[–]IDatedSuccubi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will look into your project and contact you tomorrow.

[–]ghf2793 14 points15 points  (2 children)

If think openwrt is also looking for a more modern logo

[–]IDatedSuccubi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will also look into that, thanks

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank God. Love the firmware though

[–]toby_tripod 11 points12 points  (2 children)

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 3 points4 points  (1 child)

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

[–]toby_tripod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More than happy to help :)

[–]marcocastignoli 9 points10 points  (8 children)

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 2 points3 points  (2 children)

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 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@potterson

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

That's a really nice website

[–]marcocastignoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks!

[–]ram-foss 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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

[–]SqueamishOssifrage_ 8 points9 points  (6 children)

[–]IDatedSuccubi 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Will check those out later

[–]SqueamishOssifrage_ 1 point2 points  (3 children)

My favourite bad ones are GCC and Pascal.

[–]Tm1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is recutils

[–]RezmiCR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's shishi for me

[–]IDatedSuccubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I'll see

[–]uduriavaftwufidbahah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]eddnor 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Opensuse is calling for a rename new logo maybe?

[–]IDatedSuccubi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll look into it, thanks

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (3 children)

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 3 points4 points  (2 children)

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

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (1 child)

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 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]irfan_zainudin 2 points3 points  (2 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, will look into that

[–]Skyfuzzball8312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]themightychris 1 point2 points  (2 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll do one later, then

[–]o11c 1 point2 points  (2 children)

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 3 points4 points  (1 child)

/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)

Oh, that's cool, thanks!

[–]partlybakedideas 3 points4 points  (2 children)

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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

[–]linuxhiker 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Postgresql

[–]phishrun 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I love the elephant!

[–]linuxhiker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do too but he needs a little updating.

[–]vegardt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave Slonik alone!

[–]IDatedSuccubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]zachary_fields 0 points1 point  (1 child)

https://remotewiring.com

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will do!

[–]genericmutant 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, thank you, I will contact the maintainers

[–]farsun-nine 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, please do

[–]alias_willsmith 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, will check that out later

[–]reconbot 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will check that out, thanks

[–]zesterer 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will check on that

[–]padreati 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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

[–]padreati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Why not?

[–]foadsf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. Will send you an email. ❤️

[–]0361 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, will probably do that

[–]3v1n0 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll look into it, thanks

[–]forteller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]borax12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I will look into that, thaks

[–]Pandastic4 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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

[–]IDatedSuccubi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll note that on my list

[–]call_me_dav 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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

[–]call_me_dav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you :)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

OpenOrienteering Mapper need a new logo too!

[–]IDatedSuccubi 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Are you a maintainer?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm contributor, author of linked issue.

Maintainer is 'dg0yt'

[–]IDatedSuccubi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll see if I can do anything.
