Toolbox: Project Logo

[jimmac]

Apparently no project is taken seriously before it has a logo. Let's figure that one out.

[jimmac]

Here's a couple of initial sketches / ideas:

Wrench

• uses the same outline as the Silberblue logo
  

Hex silhouette

• use the hex shape to double as a hip sticker
  

Terminal

• Fedora Toolbox is about making CLI great again
  

[debarshiray]

I love them all, but I have a slight preference for the hex silhouette.

[jimmac]

Few attempts at combining the wrench and the commandline have made me rethink the extruded 3d shape. A flat 2D shape is probably way more clear and inline with what Silverblue is using.

These are too complex for their own good.

[jimmac]

Another approach -- using the Silverblue silhouette, a dot grid with a prompt.

[debarshiray]

Thanks a lot for working on these, @jimmac !

Note that we dropped the fedora prefix from the project name and it's now just toolbox, but I don't mind having a subtle tip of the hat to recognize Fedora's pioneering role in this area.

[jimmac]

Not particularly keen on this one, but it is a tangent that's perhaps worth sharing.

So far I we're still at the exploratory stage, no clear direction apart from:

• No strong Fedora link
• CLI, overlay, tool, computer savvy
• Silverblue relatated a plus

[jimmac]

Some more explorations with a stronger link to the Silverblue logo.

I don't think we want a too strong association with silverblue here - the toolbox is going to be shared with coreos

very hexstickerable! :)

[debarshiray]

Yes, I love this purple wrench in a purple hexagon!

[debarshiray]

@jimmac are we at a stage where we can settle around the "purple wrench in a purple hexagon" idea?

[jimmac]

A little straight forward, but if you're happy, I'm happy.

[debarshiray]

Yes, I am happy! :)

Are you planning to create some variants? eg., a more horizontally stretched out image would fit better in README.md.

Initial stab at some guidelines:

We now have various variants of the "white wrench in a purple hexagon" and guidelines for using them in master. Closing.
