The logo can be seen at: Figure 1. "Logo of the OurBigBook Project".
Is file was actually manually created, and therefore counts as code and can be tracked on this git repository.
Since it does not contain text, only geometric primitives, it is fully reproducible, the logo.png export was created purely for convenience.
This is a version of logo.svg with a transparent background instead of the hardcoded black background.
It was useful e.g. for t-shirt merch, where the t-shirt background choices were not perfectly black, and the black square would be visible (and possibly glossy) otherwise, which would not be nice.
- leaving some extra margin at the top would make the text more likely visible considering the hoodie
- leaving some extra margin around allows us to make the image a bit less huge and imposing
This is the same as
logo-transparent-with-text-and-slogan-2000.png but with a 150 px border added to the top to ensure that the tshirtstudio.com hoodie hood won't hide the URL.It was created with:
convert logo-transparent-with-text-and-slogan-2000.png -gravity north -background transparent -splice 0x150 logo-transparent-with-text-and-slogan-2000-2150.pngSome rationale:
- the lowercase
bfollowed by uppercaseBgives the idea of big and small - the small
olooks a bit like a degree symbol, which feels sciency. It also contributes to the idea of small to big:ois smallest,ba bit larger, andBactually big - keep the same clear on black feeling as the default CSS output
- yellow, green and blue are the colors of Brazil, where Ciro Santilli was born!
It might be cool if we were able to come up with something that looks more like an actual book though instead of just using a boring lettermark.
A good point of the current design is that it suggests a certain simplicity. We want the explanations of our website to be simple and accessible to all.
