Just as a fun toy, I decided to give an animated SVG "variation" of this a go myself:
https://codepen.io/kusma/pen/vrXppL The actual SVG can be found here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/snippets/492 The gears were generated by this python script, based on the glxgears source code: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/snippets/491 Now, dropping this onto the black background doesn't work that well, as it gets a bit bland, so it's probably better to add back the colors then. Also, I'm not really sure if animation is a good idea or not. But I definitely think logos should be vector rather than raster ;) On Sun, Jun 3, 2018 at 1:49 AM, Jason Ekstrand <ja...@jlekstrand.net> wrote: > With all this talk of fancy looking new websites, I decided to take a crack > at being artsy and coming up with a fancy-looking logo to put on it.
