Rss-bridge: [Suggestion] Adding an icon/logo to the project

[endless22]

Hello,

Look like the project doesn't have an icon or logo and I think it would be a great addition.
Maybe an orange bridge ?

[AntoineTurmel]

It would be really nice! I have some basic design skills, I can do some submissions.

[teromene]

That would be great indeed ! I have 0 design capacities, so any suggestion is welcome !

[ORelio]

Nice idea! Maybe the orange bridge could somehow look like the RSS logo:

(not an actual design 😉 )

This is a very good idea!
I'll pin this issue, so more people can take part in it.

Please don't hold back, post any suggestions to this thread so we can get some feedback.
Everyone is welcome to join of course.

That said, my skills are at this level :man_facepalming:

Sounds good to me.
Maybe it can also include some indication that it's related to web scraping (i.e. the good old :globe_with_meridians:).

(not an actual design)

Hello, nice ones, here is a try with the 🌐

[ORelio]

Looks great! Maybe the same with 🌉, which happens to be an orange bridge?

Very nice, these look almost corporate, especially the second one. Only the RSS part should be emphasized more (i.e using one of those: http://www.feedicons.com/). Still, I'm wondering if that one would be a good fit for the main page...

It probably needs a different color though, in order to fit with the rest of the page (this is just an example, the color is still totally off).

Orange seems better to me as it reminds of the RSS logo color. If changing the stylesheet to use orange titles instead of blue, it could fit well 🤔

[ludovicgir]

Thanks for your feedbacks.
New suggestions (I like orange as well but lets give it a try in blue) :

Simply amazing :1st_place_medal:

I especially like the first two, because they they give some sense of what the project is about. My skills barely suffice to combine these, but I feel like this is a bit much (too much symbolism?):

I also played around with the color (:rofl:), for example for the RSS symbol. It makes it better, but not much in my opinion.

Anyway, this is my favorite right now

• It's simple
• It has the RSS symbol
  
  
  
  • with the text it actually reminds me of the very first icon from back in the days
  
  
• It contains the project name

This following part (or something similar) could be used for the favicon

What do you think?

[ORelio]

Good pick 👍

(Favicon may not fit in its designated 16x16 pixels square)

Favicon may not fit in its designated 16x16 pixels square

I may or may not have thought about that :blush:

The favicon should be square anyway and scalable to different resolutions (between 512x512 to 16x16). On smaller scale some of the details (text especially) should be removed because they are not readable anyway. The question is, what is the most common denominator?

• Globe?
• Icon?
• The mystical "r"?
• ...

I think this one is pretty awesome for the larger version

[LogMANOriginal]

I suppose there are no objections, so we should start using it by the next release.

@ludovicgir Could you upload these images with transparent background and in different sizes? That way we can use these at various places. If these are vector graphics, we can scale them dynamically.

[ludovicgir]

Sure, I'll do that tonight.

[ludovicgir]

It is a pleasure to participate in the adventure, here is the logo in different formats 100, 300, 600 and 1000px. And the favicon in 64 and 132px. I put the svg files as well.

@ludovicgir Thank you very much for your support :sparkling_heart:

I added the files to the repository. Here are the places they are used right now. Some might take a while to process. Let me know if anything looks broken to you.
