Hello! I appreciate the effort to improve the logo, but I admit I have to agree with Chris here that the design could be better by following some common design rules. Unfortunately, I don't have an example here, but the following pages might give you some ideas: http://www.companyfolders.com/b

I don't see what is wrong with the old logo. Also the proposed logo now indicates that we shall write Kicad stylised as KiCAD and not KiCad. And the border for the CAD part does not work out right. The font is also boring and wierd, not "professional'. I think the placement of the arrow for the "

Honestly, I need to reply again here - the more I look at this, the less I like it. I really don't want to be too negative about this, but there is a lot about this logo that just doesn't work. - Really bad typography makes it slow to read: - Inconsistent tracking - K iC A D - Inconsist

I mostly like this. I'm really not keen on the white outline around the letters though, and it really needs to be adjusted so that the "Ki" and the "CAD" share a baseline - it feels rough to read otherwise. On Sat, Mar 04, 2017 at 01:48:44AM +1100, Oliver Walters wrote: > Here is a revised version

AFIAK there is officially only one KiCad logo[1]. Everything else is a variation of that or left over from previous logos that haven't been updated. [1]: https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-website/blob/master/static/img/kicad_logo_paths.svg On 3/2/2017 3:16 AM, Oliver Walters wrote: > Ingo you are r

Ingo you are right, I think the logo works better without the "mask setback" in white around the letter "i". Thanks for the mockups :) On Thu, Mar 2, 2017 at 6:41 PM, Ingo Kletti wrote: > Hi, > > I like the use of the schematic/pcb elements. > > It also looks much better at small scales >> > >

Hi, I like the use of the schematic/pcb elements. It also looks much better at small scales I tried the scaling and made a mockup at icon resolutions from 16x16 to 64x64 with 8 pixel steps (16, 24, 32, etc.), see attachment. Scaling works good IMO, but cannot avoid bike-shedding: On the s

Hi all, One small thing that has bugged me for a while is the various icons that are considered "official" for Kicad. The application, website, forum and github all use different icons. Further, the application icon looks very cluttered when reduced to a small size e.g. on window title bar. I h
