Re: [modeling-pmc] New Modeling Project Branding

If you want an "outsiders" opinion
... and unsolicited advice :) ... I like them both; a little preference
for the one with a crescent, but at the lower resolution one, the crescent
sort of gets "lost" and looks a little like a fuzzy smudge. (Though,
could probably be fine tuned to look better). 

Which leads to my first piece of advice.
Do you ever need smaller ones? If so, you'll want to be sure you have those
designed before you finalize decision. I know in "the Platform"
our icons for Luna looked great at larger sizes ... but was/is near impossible
to get a decent looking small version (especially 16x16).  The fundamental
problem is a "world" with a "crescent" is by definition
elliptical, overall, instead of circular, so is hard to "fit in"
to just a few pixels. 

Second (small) bit of advice, you may
want to have a "story" (or, slogan) to go with your logo. As
it is, cynical joker as I am, I was first thinking "is this telling
me that modeling is an incomplete, puzzling component?" But later
I could think of some more positive stories ... such as "you can model
the world with correctly made pieces, tightly fitting together with well
defined interfaces ... " or as  a slogan "Modeling the world,
one piece at a time"  (or, something like that). 

In any case, I think having a new modeling
logo is a good idea, and wish you best of luck with it. 

Thanks,

Hi,

A friend of mine in Berlin is a graphic designer and I was thinking, given
we have a nice new Eclipse logo, maybe it's time to update the modeling
project's logo as well.

What do you folks think of these?

Of course we'll need board approval for derivatives of the Eclipse logo,
but I thought I'd collect opinions about it first.

Regards,
Ed
