New logo design

[Yestalgia]

Hey Guys,

Thanks so much for responding Marek. Good to see some momentum on this, though I agree with Massimo haha.

Please see some iterations I've attached. I took some of the effects from the current SVG and applied them in the logo on the right. This one has kind of become my favourite but please give me your thoughts.

I've included the SVG if you wish to have a play.

PS I missed stand-up at my work today because I'm obsessed with this and didn't realise I was up at 2 in the morning looking at paths and fill colours. Hope you're enjoying.

Kind regards,
Lachie

Get a new logo for v5 is a good idea, to make the difference with v4.

I like the last one . The second is nice too

And it's true it should better to avoid black and white. It remind the logo of Qobuz

For the record, a new logo in not for v5 only!
The whole project (including v4), website, forum, documentation, etc will switch to it.
That is why I'm very cautious on this topic. Once it's changed it's changed!

This makes me even more determined to make it look good.

Check out this loading screen I've made with V4.

Doh! Please forgive my dyslexia and tired face landing on the keyboard haha. Thanks for pointing that out Fred.

Take a look at this version which has the monochrome logo (one of the most popular on an Instagram poll).

I like the new logo a lot, and I have two tiny but IMO nice suggestions:

- move the plus sign even more towards the bulbs "socket" (more similar to the first versions)

- slightly tilt the three strokes to show a real socket thread

I'll have a play with these ideas today and report back.

And why not extend the thread of the bulb outside of the circle?
A Q does that

everytime I see this logo, my instant thought is medical ideas. That's just my first view response. Try different color pallets.

[mcallegari]

How about this?

[GGGss]

A lot of designs to choose from.
I like the idea of the tilted threads also.

[Yestalgia]

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I like the idea of the tilted threads also.

I've had a play with the tilted threads but couldn't get a result I really liked.

How about this?

Yep. LOVE it. Please see the next set of iterations where I incorporate the outside Q feature.

Try different color pallets.

I've been hard at work on the color scheme too! Take a look at the following and tell me what you think.

This has been really fun. Hope we can agree on a design so I can make a pull request.

Cheers,
Lachie

a suggestion, what about dropping the bulb concept?

Interesting!

I like new ideas, and there is a shift to LED more than ever.

However; I doubt that anything will match the harmony of the bulb (or lamp) representing the Q in QLC+.

here is my attempt, an encoder ;)

Those are more outdated than the current icon. I like the other ones proposed way more.

[giacomo]

thanks, do you mean just b/c or all?

[mcallegari]

Sorry but I don't like them either.
The new logo will be one of these two
