Re: [egit-dev] New logo

Hi,

I've slightly modified Robin Nibor's design by removing many blurry / gradient effects to make it flatter (aka trendy ;)) I've also used the Myriad Pro Font (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myriad_(typeface)) because I don't have the one being used (is then replaced with the ugly arial on my side)...

Here is a png export and the modified svg. Robin N., I hope you take no offense for modifying your work.

Best regards,
Mikael

----- Ursprungligt meddelande -----
We need a new logo. The old logo was the result of 15 minutes of
playing with inkscape. Here are the results of another 30 minutes.

I agree, thanks for starting this.

(These are just a bitmaps exported from inkscape)

Comments:

- I'm not sure blue and orange is a nice color combination.

- It looks rather blurry, but maybe this is just from the export.

It's intentional.

- I don't think there should be any text inside the icon, but rather
besides it. And it should read "EGit", not "eGit", as it's spelled
like the former everywhere.


How about basing it on the logo of C Git [1]? I also played a bit
with
Inkscape and the artwork available here [2].

It is sort of inspired, but other than that I don't like the Git logo,

See the attached SVG for the result. I'm not a designer, so it looks
a bit raw/unfinished. Comments?

Maybe we could get the help of designers from the Eclipse Foundation
for this?

Thanks for the link.
Regards,
Nibor
