Plasmapy: A logo

[StanczakDominik]

@namurphy mentioned having talked with, if I remember correctly, NUMFOCUS people who said they'd put us on their web page if we had a website and a logo to go with it. The website is another issue, so let's discuss the logo here. Any suggestions for the design?

How about some interesting looking VDF?

Has anyone given this a go yet? My wife likes to do this kind of stuff some times and/or my sister is a designer/illustrator. I could see if they would want put something together for y'all to see.

I was actually thinking of measured data. I have some spacecraft
measurements that would probably be very useful for this. I just need to
sit down and pick out a spectrum to plot.

Both of those ideas sound cool! Give 'em both a go if you can :)

A while ago, Silvina Guidoni brought up the possibility of our logo being a python wrapping itself around magnetic field lines, with its path representing a particle orbit.

A possibility I was thinking of would be to have a python representing a magnetic flux rope, with magnetic field lines wrapping around the python. An extension of that would be to have a python with magnetic field lines wrapping around it and eating its own tail like an ouroboros, which would be very reminiscent of a tokamak and other toroidal magnetic confinement devices.

Perhaps we could brainstorm ideas here, and when we've come up with enough ideas, have a vote to narrow it down to ~1-2 options.

I had the exact same idea about the snake orbiting a field line!

[tulasinandan]

1. Snakes reconnecting!
2. Tokamak/Stellerator around the Sun
3. Lots of other snake ideas: Snake following particle path aroung B, B going around snake, ...

Should we perhaps push our logo-seeking endeavours to v0.2?

[lemmatum]

I've asked an artist friend of mine to have a try at designing a logo. I can ask him how it's going.

[namurphy]

If we push it back to v0.2, and then get it done by v0.1, we can say we're ahead of schedule!

[lemmatum]

Soviet-style 5-year plan! I like it!

[jasperbeckers]

We can wrap up this issue since it is being covered on the PlasmaPy-logo rep.

[StanczakDominik]

PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy-logo#1 it (probably, guessing) is, then!
