---- == Results == I've basically decided on a new logo. The submissions for the contest were interesting, but I wasn't really happy with any of them. So I enlisted the help of a designer friend and spent the last couple days with her coming up with something I was happy with. The submission I found most interesting (Peer's "drop") continued the liquid mercury theme of the original. Unfortunately, it looked rather more like an oil drop than mercury and also didn't scale well. I also really liked Jens' choice of font (Kaffesatz) and so that also appears in the final design. And here it is: [http://selenic.com/hg-logo/logo-hg-150.png] [http://selenic.com/hg-logo/logo-droplets-150.png] http://www.selenic.com/hg-logo/ ---- == Submissions == |
This is the current logo:
[http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/mercurial-logo.png]
I like it, but it's a bit small. And the "mercurial" font is crummy.
New logos should:
- be at least 2000 pixels wide for printing purposes
- look good at 100-200px width
- be adaptable to an icon
- include separate layers where appropriate (drop shadows, etc.)
- document fonts used (preferably freely available)
- look good on a t-shirt
- be available under the GPL, of course
Link submissions below this line with:
- a small-sized image
- a link to a larger image
- a link to a layered "source image" (eg Gimp XCF, SVG..)
- any other information like fonts used
- your name
I will choose a winner on Dec 25th 2007 (aka Newtonmas).
