Minikube: Minikube logo proposal

Created on 18 Jul 2016 · 12Comments · Source: kubernetes/minikube

Hi all,

We're big fans of minikube at Wercker and have created a few logo designs for it.

Would be awesome if you all could let us know through 👍 which version you like best.

Thanks @mies! Let's leave this open for a few more days then go with the winner. Let's say Monday, July 25th?

@dlorenc sounds like a plan!

Logos 1-3 have too much small details and will be corrupted on small resolution output (small screen, poor print, etc.) and unreadable from long distance. I bet for "4" and it would be nice to simplify anchor sign.

_With love from Wercker public_

I think 4 is the only one that doesn't relate to the Minikube project goals (unless I'm missing something - what does the anchor signify?). It also has a bevel effect which doesn't match up nicely with the flatness of the main Kubernetes logo.

I'd probably prefer 1 if only the internal cube was shown, and the rest was just a flat color fill. From a messaging standpoint it ticks all the boxes (mini, cube, k8s in a box), but I don't like the current aesthetics.

I also am a bit confused by the anchor (I do understand the meaning of kubernetes as helmsman but why the anchor?).

1 & 2 are closest to what I would like to see.

Here's an attempt at what I meant in my previous comment. Ignore the poor color matching (I just used the same blue from the Kubernetes main logo), etc. I am not a graphic designer, and this is not meant as a real proposal, just for illustration purposes.

Hi all, actually some time ago we created a very similar issue https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/176
Based on the github and Twitter votes we had two winner logos. I was suppose to submit a pull request for both. I'm going to do that now.
Maybe you guys submit your winner logo as well :)

Or should we do another poll with all the best logos?
