Oh I think the logic is to focus it - or so it was explained to me (not to sound like the worlds most selfish human but “MINE!” ) usually with these things it makes sense having one person doing it but with input. But @Paul_Brown and promo team can weigh in there.
BUT trust me there is a ton of things cropping up all the time, so if you want there is always stuff to do AND I dont know the exact scope of this anyway
(Like most I don’t have reddit, so didn’t know there was a thread there)
EDIT: the deal with the logo / icon thing isn’t very clear for now (saturday) so at the moment lets just see it as a fun discussion and pick up monday morning when we know more. We don’t wanna trundle in and step on toes unintentionally. BUT this is all being a really wholesome and great thread with feedback (and @mr_hot_h3ad seems to be signing up as tribute for future work @Paul_Brown … we have lured another victim… err I mean contributor… in to the fold! )
Oh and here is my work file for inkscape if anyone wanna go ham (or see the madness that is someone sketching freely in inkscape - the file is a MESS so be warned )
Oh, sorry, I am too old for changes but too young in using KDE to know that the logo change every time from version to version.
For the ? I will use something like
I’m not sure separating the promo logo from the actual logo is the best idea.
Maybe if we only use it a few, strictly plasma-6 related posts it could work…
Silly question:
Why change plasma logo if style of desktop are the same as in Plasma 5?
Change in Plasma 5 was right because jump from oxygen to breeze, but if i not wrong Plasma 6 still using breeze.
What do we want the logo to feel like?
1.1 Dynamic, friendly, clickable, approachable, simple shapes
What impression do we want to leave on our users when they identify our brand?
2.2 Recognition, easily reproducible, tied to the Plasma name
What are the negative perceptions of the previous logo?
3.3 Sharp, small shapes, scattered
Here is my rendition of this idea. By the way, I proposed a similar logo years ago for KDE 4. Though it had a good reception, it was not selected. Proposing this change right now, I think makes sense. I also noticed that I failed to provide good connection to the main logo. I think we can do that with this iteration.
My inspiration is the sun. As the closest plasma example we have to earth and a life-giving force, it felt like the perfect inspiration. It’s a simple form that evokes easy access, easily repeatable. It contains the 3 dots that inspired the first Plasma logo and have been integrated into the rest of our logos. Put together, it can do for an easy icon. If done well, you could even add a few glow animations on hover that would look super cool. I used a correlated color palette for easy color connection, though I am not married to the colors as others may suggest many different combinations.
@Anditosan Its awesome. Have just sketches so far (the ones posted above) but you wanna take this? Again I think this is just for promo material not logo though - so pick up the conversation with promo team that I had in the promo channel. That way its not duplicated effort.
If I understand right, you want me to take up the conversation with Promo?
Note that even though it is originating from Promo, the logo would also have to be used in the Plasma UI. There are a ton of places where it’s featured. Most prominently, the application panel.
Logo with the sun looks very interesting. All variations are good and appropriate in different contexts. I wish this would be the end of discussion already. I’d really like to see a complete theme based on this, logo, a splash screen and so on
