Hello guys Saw this and I wanted to throw my hat in the box too.
taking Dom’s box.com suggestions, here’s my idea: https://app.box.com/s/2hgac5iy2ny1e9t21gpe Fonts: Libre Baskerville & Open Sans Icons: http://glyphicons.com/license I own a Pro License, but the Free one is CC BY 3.0 The Idea: 1. Use icons that people are already familiar with. I’m using Home and Lock icons which regular people should recognize from their experiences with the browser bar lock icon for secure sites, and the home icon a lot of websites use to indicate “home” 2. Libre Baskerville for the “OpenSSL” part, as a serif font just looks and feels more official. 3. Home, Company, etc indicator icons on top of the “O” in Open SSL. The “O” looks like the world, and we’re sitting on top of it, with a lock icon to indicate it’s secure. 4. Added levels of support add extra “+” A subtle way of saying “we’re extra plus-y” 5. In grayscale, the logo will look the same For the color blind, the SSL should still come through as different. There’s plenty of contrast for grayscale too. 6. Creates the possibility of a smaller 32x64 icon when space is at a premium. Also makes for nice stickers. Feel free to do whatever you want with it! -Phong On May 8, 2014, Dominyk Tiller wrote: > Hey Steve & all, > > Here's a link to a couple of ideas: > > 1) https://app.box.com/s/151g7a1dw186fmvx9t7z > 2) https://app.box.com/s/t4wi69rojy6tcom4dqm3 > > (The link is to Box; tons more space & more open-source friendly than > Dropbox, but I’ll upload to the latter if people prefer).
