Re: [TCLCORE] New Logo ?

Hi Christian, The logo I presented WAS done by a professional - possibly the best brand design company in the Chicago area. The brief was to get away from the “tickle” association, to do something more “industrial”, that worked on all media and which encompassed Tk as well. In fact there were 3 alternatives presented (see attached) and I picked the one I liked best. Whether we use one of these or seek an alternative is another issue but I do agree we should move away from feathers for the reasons Colin outlined. And I suspect that for any 2 Tclers there will be at least 3 opinions on which is best :) -- Steve On 23 Jul 2024 at 6:23 AM +0800, Christian Gollwitzer via Tcl-Core <tcl...@li...>, wrote: > Dear folks, > > while I'm not opposing to create a more modern logo, I would really advise to hire a proper graphics designer to do that. The logos that have been shown so far are clearly recognisable as something not done by a professional. The logo shown by Brian below is much better but still not today's fashion. Just for fun I prompted SD3 for a modern logo including a feather; this is the result: > > <sd3_tcl_logo.png> > I'm sure a real designer can do much better! > > Christian > > > Am 22.07.24 um 23:58 schrieb Steve Landers: > > The blue feather was designed by David Zolli.

Tim did this some years ago as a favour for the Tcl community, including the logo and color palette. I dusted it off for Torsten, Max and Shaun to use in the documentation project. > > > > <Screenshot 2024-07-23 at 5.52.25 AM-1.png> > > > > -- Steve > > On 23 Jul 2024 at 5:36 AM +0800, Torsten Berg <be...@ty...>, wrote: > > > No, that wasn't me. > > > > > > I really like the nice blue feather and would miss it. I also think people are probably now used to the logo and a new one should be not too different so it can be recognized. This is probably true for any brand: change your logo gradually, not dramatically. > > > > > > Torsten > > > > > > > > > > Am 22.07.2024 um 18:58 schrieb Brian Griffin <bri...@ea...>: > > > > > > > > Very creative! > > > > I also like the logo Torsten(?) came up with: T<L > > > > It’s a stylized combination of Tcl and Tk > > > > > > > > -Brian > > > > > > > > > On Jul 22, 2024, at 08:40, Colin Macleod via Tcl-Core <tcl...@li...> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > Dear All, > > > > > I'm wondering if it might be worth updating the Tcl logo for version 9. The current feather logo is rather obscure, being based on Tcl sounding like "tickle", and may give the impression that it's not suitable for serious work. Also it's very similar to the feather logo used by Apache. > > > > > I've put together a couple of suggestion, trying to emphasise the Tools aspect of the Tool Command Language: > > > > > > > > > > 1.
