Logo Ideas
« on: March 12, 2010, 01:41:03 pm »
According to the thread listed below, the Code::Blocks project may be in need of a new logo.
http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,12156.0.html

I think we are supposed to post our potential logo submissions in this forum. (I hope I understood correctly.)
Here are some quick ideas:

Correct!

Yay! The first ones are coming! :-)

They all look good so far except two things (the latter I indeed forgot to mention explicitly... forgive me everybody):
1.) The first logo would be to small for a splash screen.
2.) The "::" in "Code::Blocks" is part of the logo. So it should always be present. In addition the word should not be splitted.

Sorry again, that I forgot to mention this in the first place. I assumed this was clear but indeed it's said nowhere explicitly. :oops: I've updated the original post accordingly, too.

Resources for everyone: Feel free to modify or build your own logos:

I had to make an alternate version of the "Block Icon" Blender file, in order to center the logo and camera.
If helpful to anyone: http://robotarcade.com/img/codeblocks/codeblocks_05.blend

My PSD file: http://robotarcade.com/img/codeblocks/codeblocks_logo5.psd

In addition, the fonts I am using are from a web site which offers tasteful free/open-source fonts: http://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/

I kind of got carried away and replaced some graphics in my local version.  Compiling software with your own UI resources is fun.

The variation of the blocks used in the last few images is quite nice. This might make much nicer application icons than the rendered one too.
Maybe one could try a horizontal arrangement such as the upper one in image 6, but not using all-caps and with a typeface closer to Arial (which I think we have been using everywhere for the name during the last half-decade).

We don't necessarily have to make a fuzz about the revision number, by the way. I saw you tried to integrate it in one of your screenshots. The way it is with that circle and such just happened to look intriguing in the region skinned version used in 8.02, but we could as well opt for a simple rectangular splash, for example. Information such as the revision or build date could as well appear in 8 pt size at the bottom of the box or something. I mean, it doesn't have to be all weird and flippy :)

Some new variations with a font change...

Thomas, thank you for the feedback, I just now saw it, and I will make some Arial+Horizontal ones tomorrow.

As requested, here is one that conforms more to the current Code:Blocks logo style. (Horizontal arrangement, CamelCase capitalization, and Arial-like font)

The last one has too much empty space

Here is a large transparent render of the color-blocks image:
Please feel free to use it for any Code::Blocks reason. (For example, if anyone wants to use it in their own logo/splash submissions). :)
