Of course. I may even upload source (.max file) if it is needed. Also I`d like to improve it, but I need your fresh ideas. Smile

I like the letters a lot. And I generally like fireballs too. Smile
I'm just scratching my head what does the fireball have with U++ and what kind of message is sending it to the viewer.
So while from visual point of view I quite like it, I just wonder whether it's possible to do something similar with more appropriate symbol. But I have no idea for a good new symbol.
I read it`s message as "U++ is quick and cute as fireball." Not bad, IMO.

Only... I wanted to sort of "depracete" 'ultimate' word. Going for plain 'U' only.

Well, I have made more modifications to TheIDE splashscreen - check tomorrow. To me, it feels quit fresh Smile

Maybe we should change the logo more often...

I assumed that would be interesting to display the logo, not only in splashscreen. It would be interesting to print the logo in any printed documentation.

Also first page should contain a short description of project and news updated daily or weekly about the project, new releases, community announcements and so on.



That sounds good and nice, but please note that nobody volunteered to take care about freshmeat annoucements yet.

I too would like to have more actual frontpage content, but there must be somebody that manages it. I am failing at that task..

In any case, great plans are nice, but I would rather approached this whole PR issue step by step. I believe that the most critical issue right now is to start regular freshmeat updates.

Here I am with a third version of U++ logo. I`ve spent some time thinking what could illustrate U++ (this thought was on the background for some time). And finally it came - yep, the horseshoe. A custom one, hand-made and unique.
Just to illustrate an idea...

Actually, I am now thinking that with increased rate of releases, we could update logo much more often.

E.g. the same way how Google does it.

Hello all

I think that it is true that Google plays changing its logo but it is also true that they always play with the same basic shape.
I think that to maintain a clear logo is always good, as the logo is an important part of the project identity. A robust logo is part of a robust project.

I do not have a clear opinion about the shape of a logo, I am not an aesthetic specialist, but it is really great the job that you are doing.

About other efforts I am opened to help. Luzr has talked about freshmeat announcements. I do not know how it is done, but if somebody can explain it to me, or there is another thing to do, I would like to "put my shoulder to the wheel".

Best regards
Koldo

Agreed. I`m searching optimal U++ logo solution. And it is just 3rd approach, not a 3rd logo itself. May be well designed and styled (not a sample above) horseshoe will become a shiny new U++ logo one day. As soon as I make (a-kind-of) final version, it will be better to ask U++ authors what do they think about it. For now I`m interested mostly in the direction of thinking - what everyone think about horseshoe-logo idea itself.

Yes, it would be good. But IMO it is the second step after making final version of logo itself.
Currently I`d like to contribute more finalized and "appropriate" version of horseshoe-idea, but just have no time for this as I`m on detached service for week or more.

OK, another one iteration towards logo. I wonder if it is right direction I`m moving. Please give any feedback you want (horseshoe idea, it`s realization - whether it is better than magnet or not), especially critics, as it is vital to know - deny this solution or keep it and make some polishing.

I like it, although I would make it bit more colored (steel blue?).

I believe magnet is good as well, so I am going to keep it for month or two, then adopt this logo (again, for some time).

For me it's the magnet Razz

When one sees the logo, he there must be a link with the subject. And the first thing I think about is horses Very Happy . Which is quite far from a C++ IDE. A least the magnet is linked to electronics.

Maybe in blue steel or bleu ligthning it would be better

IMO it is better to have one (and good) logo to advertise it. Make it a kind of recognizable brand.

I can do that. But this logo seems to me "about nothing". Don`t you feel this way? I just really can`t understand what two rulers with Microsoft logo background stand for. May be we should add a little sense to it and then modernize?

There is no need to change this logo. All excellent.

I had an idea, the logo is slightly pulled in 3D, and part of the logo, color filled, to make a transparent colored glass.

And the rest - all excellent.

For some applications, it is useful to 3D version of the logo. For example, for Splash screen. But it will be to the taste of community.

Out of curiosity, I tried to redraw the TheIDE logo.
I'm not sure it's good, actually I'm not sure it's even better then the current one, but I think it's probably at least worth posting, so here it is.
I think it's cleaner and a bit more pleasing to eye, but whether that's good for TheIDE, I'm not sure. (and I'm too lazy to try to build the one with my icon and use it for while)

I have been watching at it now after couple of hours pause, and I think my version is objectively better. Maybe not as good as to call it "good" already in terms of professional graphics, but better then the old one, I'm quite sure now.

Mirek: it's of course PD or BSD or whatever license you wish, if you want to use it (I would appreciate that). Or anyone else if he wants to take it and improve, feel free. Also tell me if you need some other size, I will mock it up.

Koldo, I couldn't make any modern looking version of "classic" U++ logo (box + 2 rulers). Personally I don't find it fit well into concept (but it is U++ authors who decide of course).
So after rndering magnet and horseshoe I was out of ideas. Maybe if you have some fresh idea, I could render it.
Personally I consider Mirek's magnet a good idea, but I think it should be U++ authors decision about it all. After we render and discuss final logo, we could discuss "developed ..." logo.
