Logo?

[alexispurslane]

I was thinking a png icon along the lines of:

BTW, I'm not really that great at drawing, so any other icons would be great!

Streem
A matz language.

@naturalethic I like that. Hold on......

Now, back to working on a package manager............

How about using the actual pipe syntax for the logo? I believe we're currently using | but discussing something like |> if I remember correctly. Also, I don't think Streem should be in all caps. I can play around with making some SVG and PNG icons if you want.

@matz Did you have any logo ideas yourself, or any comments on what I said or anything else in this thread?

Also, I'm assuming that Streem is going to have at least a few Japanese speaking users. I noticed that the Ruby website is currently using Noto Sans, which if I remember correctly includes Japanese characters (or at least has a font for Japanese in the same family). Should we use Noto Sans or a similar font for Streem's logo and branding to provide a more consistent visual experience for non-English speaking users?

[alexispurslane]

Yes, probably. Also, what do you mean by using |> in the logo?

[nickserv]

For example, replacing the three waves with |> or some sort of similar stream operator.

I just noticed that the Japanese version of the Ruby website uses Latin characters for the Ruby logo (I probably should have assumed this before...), so I don't think we should need to limit ourselves to Noto unless we want the same body font for the website (which I don't think we would).

[nickserv]

I'm thinking about either Raleway Regular or Noto Serif Bold for the "Streem" font, with some sort of blue (I'm liking "Blue" on http://clrs.cc/ so far).

How about this:

[alexispurslane]

@matz any suggestions?

[nickserv]

I'm working on an SVG logo, it's tricky to get the |> to look right. I'll post it when it's done.

[alexispurslane]

Cool!! I can't wait to see it. Mine we kinda ugly.

[nickserv]

Here's my work so far. Let me know if you have any comments, or if you want the fonts/colors/SVG/etc.

[alexispurslane]

That's really good. I can't see anything that should be changed.
