Re: [location-iwg] Logo contest started
|
Wow these sites are always crazy for the graphic designers.
Here are a couple interesting ones:
- http://www.crowdspring.com/project/2334511_locationtech-logo/entry/5037584_locationtech/
It is a gridded take on the sphere giving us a nice association with eclipse; while the grid can symbolise us actually measuring the the world. The font leaves me cold, and shadows on the font but not the sphere look amateur.
http://www.crowdspring.com/project/2334511_locationtech-logo/entry/5037084_locationtech01pr/
- Similar theme (perhaps same designer) but much more colourful. Also took the time to make the logo in grayscale and show it on a black and white background.
- two toned so more expensive to print
- Nice sense of movement
- This is the one I would pick as it feels alive
http://www.crowdspring.com/project/2334511_locationtech-logo/entry/5037002_location/
- the mandatory compass rose; combined with gears (that tends to symbolise open source this year; as pear open source foundation vs open hardware foundation shootout)
- still not enough contrast to live
http://www.crowdspring.com/project/2334511_locationtech-logo/entry/5038088_locationtech2/
- classic google style pin-drop; a bit too complicated with the embedded world
http://www.crowdspring.com/project/2334511_locationtech-logo/entry/5038041_location-tech/
- classic google style pin-drop to indicate location; this one has the advantage of a sense of style
http://www.crowdspring.com/project/2334511_locationtech-logo/entry/5038102_logo/
- a simple pin drop; if I was going to go with a pin drop I would pick this for the clean lines
