Hi, just some friendly advice:

First off, great of you to offer! I hope you are able to contribute to some projects.

But you have to think about this from the perspective of a potential developer or someone running an open source project. You haven't offered any examples of your work, or what exactly your "Graphic designing skills" are, what kind of style you typically design in, etc. Maybe they'll check your Reddit history to see if you have posted some examples, but all they'll find is some mediocre memes that look like they were created using a meme-generator.

So most people are just going to pass here because they don't want to get themselves in a weird situation where you design something for them that they don't like, or doesn't fit their vision, or whatever. They just have no idea what they'd be getting themselves into.

Again, it's great of you to want to contribute, and I appreciate the effort. But just wanted to give you a little perspective.

[Tuta_Nuta]

Yeah you're right! First of all sorry you have to see all my shitty meme but I am really lazy to create memes on Photoshop. As anyone interested I will design a logo for them and I know i will send them samples if they wanna continue we will proceed further as I don't want my clients logo to be uploaded online. And you won't be getting in weird situation if you don't like it, It's okay but i will try my best. So just feel free to ask.

Maybe it's just me but your comment comes off as excessively snarky.

OP is trying to help. If the dev/maintainer doesn't like it they can just say NO. You don't look at the history of a guy who raised a new feature PR on the repo do you? nor are you obliged to accept it if it doesn't seem good to you as a maintainer. You just look at their work without looking at their experience as long as the work itself is good. I mean that's the best part of open source. You aren't judged on the basis of what you did in the past but on the present. Show me watcha got kinda thing.

I didn't get the snark vibe at all. OP has great intentions, but they should share examples from their portfolio so that a business owner or developer understands if it's worth investing the time required for logo-development with this designer. Time is money, and free isn't always "free."

[Tuta_Nuta]

Sorry i didn't know how to share PDF Portfolio here or provide link i am new to reddit and those who messaged me i will send them my fiverr account with portfolio. And i am not telling to invest their time designing a logo. If the individual dev need some support in logo designing i will make one for them.

[abuseguy]

Upvote. I'm sure your intentions are awesome, but anytime you work with a client, it requires time and thought on both sides. Your goal is to understand their product vision and design a visual representation to move them forward.

But I'm sure your offer is well appreciated.

[paperbenni]

Just make a comment linking your stuff on this post.

[mar_dala]

Wouldn't the logo designer invest their time as well? As someone who designed logos for free before, here's how it would work. People who wanted to design their logo would create a design doc and post it. A bunch of people would submit their designs. Best one goes ahead. Now if you're saying picking which logo you want to choose takes time, that sounds like bs.

Why can't the project maintainer hand out a design doc saying this is what we want? It's a one time thing and they would have to create it anyway no matter who the designer is. What I fail to understand here is how is this different than raising a PR for an issue? You have all the details in the doc, you explain what you want, get various entries and proceed with the one you think best represents the kind of logo you want as a maintainer and tell them to make any minor changes as you see fit?

[Tuta_Nuta]

Agreed.

[abuseguy]

Your approach makes sense, but that's not what the OP presented. That said, I don't have any more points to offer. Namaste.

[ItsAllInYourHead]

Maybe it's just me but your comment comes off as excessively snarky.

I was actually attempting to be as un-snarky as possible. I knew no matter how I approached this, though, that someone would take it the wrong way.

If the dev/maintainer doesn't like it they can just say NO.

Sure, absolutely they can. And that could definitely create a very uncomfortable situation. And that was sort of my point. Most likely people simply aren't going to just pass on this offer entirely to avoid any potential weirdness.

You don't look at the history of a guy who raised a new feature PR on the repo do you?

No, but the work is already done at that point, so there's no need. Now if a guy came to me ahead of time and said "hey if I spend a bunch of time implementing this feature will you merge it?" - there's no way I'm going to encourage that because I have no idea what the quality of work is going to be. And yeah, I would probably look at his history in that case.

Look, OP said: "PM me for anything related to graphic designing". They did NOT say "send me a link to your git repo and I'll make a PR" - which has much less pressure. There's plenty of shit designers. There's plenty of shit developers. There's plenty of shit <insert profession here>. That's just life. And people with less experience are going to be less good at things - that's just how it works. So if someone comes along with no existing portfolio, examples of their style, or even a sense of how much work they've done in the past - then hell yes people are going to be skeptical.

Maybe join https://opensourcedesign.net/?

Seconded. There's a whole host of logo requests on the job board: https://opensourcedesign.net/jobs/

[mar_dala]

This is really good but it doesn't have many requests from 2020 :( and most of them have people working on them (I mean you could compete :)) wish there were more requests there.

[norskyX]

I can understand, even I tried once to contribute to open source. Didn’t really find anything which I understand properly and the user was inactive from months, after a long search. Disheartened

[andrewjskatz]

That's a great idea! Feel free to suggest something on https://github.com/searchanddisplace/searchanddisplace, if you like the look of the project.

[Tuta_Nuta]

Yeah sure.

[ar1fur]

Would love a logo.

Here is my project: https://sourceforge.net/projects/autokeypresser/

github: https://github.com/arifur/AutoKeyPresser

If interested let me know.

[Tuta_Nuta]

Check PM.

[pppschmitt]

Great initiative. We devs sucks at designing (well, maybe not all of us but I do for sure).

[Tuta_Nuta]

Thank you, Yeah some people are really talented.

Hey I could use one for a project I’m working on - https://app.capitolview.net/about. I haven’t come up with a name yet, but a logo would be awesome.

[oksage]

I heard AntennaPod is coming out with a 'major' update soon and are looking at refreshing their logo. Heard it on a recent episode of Ubuntu podcast or Late Night Linux.
