It would be neat to have a logo for git-bug.

Someone to assist here ?

Perhaps a 🐞 with the Git logo on its back?

Hooo, I like this idea !

The Git logo is licensed under CC BY 3.0, meaning we can use it as long as we credit it. The Git name, though, has stricter rules.

Hi guys! What do you think about this mockup? The idea is a trap for bugs inside git.

I like this initial direction, but I have a few issues with that first iteration:

• it is a little too generic and could work for a lot of things that aren’t git-bug,
• even if the git logo is freely licensed, using it as a base is a delicate matter and I would avoid it.

How about keeping the idea of the graph/tree, but using small symbolic bugs (insects) as nodes?

If you reduce the logo, small details will be lost. And the bug in each node is terrible. ) But I'll think about it.

This is great, the git logo even looks like wings, as if git-bug is powered by git.

It would also probably look nice when declined in 3D.

Based on @vandesign’s:

what do you mean, @MichaelMure ?

@vandesign before you showed your version I was thinking about a stylized 3d projection, something like this with the git logo on the side:

Note: this is just a quick image search to explain, I'm not saying it should look like this. The flat 2d design works well :)

Also, a lot of thanks, it's so awesome to see these kind of contribution :+1:

I'll still work on the versions.

Simplified form.

That's great @vandesign ! Out of curiosity, what software do you use ? Is that a vector format ?

Also, would you like to continue iterating or is that the version we should use ?

That's great @vandesign !

Thank's )

Of course it's a vector. Adobe Illustrator, Sketch.

Also, would you like to continue iterating or is that the version we should use ?

I like this version. If I can improve it, I'll post it right away. If you send me technical requirements I'll render all necessary versions to use. svg? ico? eps? ai?

An open format would be best, so SVG.

Now, another question will be the license to use. git-bug is released under the GPLv3+ license but we might want to use a different one for the logo. Of course, as the author you have your say on this.

I'm not an expert in licensing and I leave it to the community.

The final versions of the files will be tomorrow.

the logo looks awesome @vandesign !

for the license, i dont think gpl would be the best for an icon, maybe use a creative commons license? iirc, the cc-by-sa-4.0 is the license used on wikipedia for images and documents.

but since you're the author of the logo, it's your decision :)

Both CC-BY-4.0 and CC-BY-SA-4.0 seem reasonable. But Git logo needs to be credited since wing patterns are based on it. It's licensed under CC-BY-3.0 so no problems here.

that's true, i read earlier in the thread but forgot to mention that haha

As Git logo is licensed under CC BY 3.0, we will use it. I prepared 3 variants of the logo in the SVG format. git-bug--logo.zip

@vandesign I think it would make sense to use only one of the variation. I showed it to some friends and while they all agree that they are great (!), there is no clear winner between them.

Let's make a contest!

Everyone, please select the best logo by reacting with a :heart: on one of the two comment above.

And what about the third version? Without a white stroke. It is my choice

I agree it looks nicer, but it's less easy to use if you don't have a white background. Let's have it in the contest though :-)

Yes. I remember that. In fact, there is a white background. ) In git-bug--logo--alpha--flat--bg.svg

While voting is in progress, I made the logotype. Font – Roboto Slab from Google Fonts (Apache License, Version 2.0.)

Alright, that's not much vote but it match what I've seen when showing it to peoples and both of our tastes.

Let's use:

• the flat version without outline on white background
• the flat version with the square-ish white background on darker background
• the logotype when we need both the logo and the name

@vandesign I'll edit your PR soon with some details.

As for the license, CC BY-SA 4.0 is probably a good choice.

@vandesign could you give me the svg for the logotype as well ?

suggestion (but kinda off topic) : what do you think if you include the git-bug logo at the top of the webui, with a link to this git repo? kinda like github does

As for the license, CC BY-SA 4.0 is probably a good choice.

Is it possible to sublicense Apache v2 font under CC-BY-SA though?

yes

In term of web design, having a logo top left with a link has to be "go to the root of the website"

For git-bug, that means either:

• go to the list of repositories for a multi-repo webui
• go to the list of bugs for a single repo webui

Having a link somewhere to the github project make sense though, just not there.

now that you say it , you're right, what was i thinking

Having a link somewhere to the github project make sense though, just not there.

maybe at the end of the webui? like in the footer

Hi! I made the final versions of the files.

• Symbol on a white background.
• Logo without shadow.
• Logo with shadow.

To prevent the use of the logo on a dark background, I made only the option with a white background. Other versions suggest to remove.

git-bug.zip

Alright, I merge the PR in master, git-bug now has officially a logo

:tada: :tada::tada::tada::tada::tada:

@vandesign Thank you so much !

It would have been nice to use the logotype in the readme, but as @tplk said, it doesn't work on a dark background.
