Hi all,

Here's my submission for a pd logo as a 128x128 gif.

Someone a bit better than I am at editing beziers might like to touch it up a bit, or just downsample it.

[/] Camoflauge colors give a sense of utility and functionality, with adventurousness and a bit of artistry thrown in. Camoflauge also hints at the chameloan nature of pd which can be used to make anything you like while blending in.

[/] Eastern motif reflects on the harmony/disharmony possible from pd, as well as the way in which it malleable nature models a the comsic dance of the universe.

[/] It spells Pd perfectly -- that's all it is, simplicity itself. A complete reduction into the fundamentals. The letters themselves are as pure unadorned data, sans-serif, and yet stylistic and suggesting there is deepness to be explored and discovered.

Using yin-yang for Pd is a cute idea, but when I saw this, I was at first only thinking of yin-yang and asked myself, what does this have to do with Pd. Reading your mail, which came second, revealed this similarity between the letters and the old symbol. Maybe this could be made a bit clearer, for example by re-introducing the serifs?

Hi all,

OK, I have a design that I really think is fantastic and you're going to love. I came up with something that embodies the principles I stated before, but also combines them with the inspiration of others who have come up with icons from the program itself, as well as giving an extremely high-tech, yet artistic flavor.

Three color sets:

1. Green-olive/Khaki - pd_logo_xjs_yyobj_gk.gif
2. Brick/Adobe - pd_logo_xjs_yyobj_ba.gif
3. Hangkul - pd_logo_xjs_yyobj_hg.gif

[/] The logo spells out the two letters Pd, placing them within an icon readily recognizable to Pd afficianados. Simplicity itself, it is a reduction into the fundamentals. The letters themselves are as pure unadorned data, sans-serif, and yet stylistic and suggesting there is deepness to be explored and discovered.

[/] Eastern influenced motif reflects on the harmony/disharmony possible from pd as well as the universality of possibilities -- pd is elemental enough to be a building block for anything and as such represents everything.

[\a/] Camoflauge color set gives a sense of utility and functionality, with adventurousness and a bit of artistry thrown in. Camoflauge also hints at the chameloan nature of pd which can be used to make anything you like while blending in.

[\a/] Brick/adobe color set suggest energy and yet suggests architecture, house building, and a do-it-yourself spirit, coupled with a southwestern flavor.

[\a/] Hangkul color scheme fuses ancient principles of waves and sound embodied as mysticism through community, with the futuristic and practical.

Is there a logo for PD available. If not, what about a logo contest at pure-data.org ?

Good idea. I'd propose a bang with the letters "Pd" in it, like: ____ |(Pd)|

or somehow like that.

Didn't you make one like that? You should repost it.

Btw: How is Pd spelled? I tend to use "Pd" as in the docs.

On the main Pd window, its spelled "Pd", so that seems to be official.
I think that there should be some basic ground rules for the icon contest. Here's my suggestions:

• has to be designed in Pd
• should be black and white, (at least a majority black and white)

no logo!

use pd only to design a logo otherwise it's too ugly

pd courier font in a bang or an object is great

in my opinion every logo designer should design for himself but the public version should be basic ascii stuff

no contest (we all won)

the pure-data.org design isn't so bad in a way

here you are :) another entry(ies) mostly downsizeable...

I pixelation in 9a or 10. But I think it would be nice to have more than one element, like a bang or a message.

I started a Pd Icon 'Topic' on pure-data.org:
http://www.pure-data.org/community/icons/ If you create a 'Document' with your icons and a description, then under 'properties' select the keyword 'Icon', it will show up on this page. I am trying to figure out how to make the 'Topic' display the images so you don't have to open pages to see all of the icons. Anyone have any ideas?

There are a number of logos around. I am all for a logo contest. I just made a set and put them in the Windows and MacOS X installers. My main point is that he app and file icons should be different but related.

Here's my attempts: http://www.pure-data.org/Members/hans/icons/

We should set up a "Topic" on the website to gather all of people's icons. I'll do it when I get some time unless someone else beats me to it. I am still a little vague as to how to how to create Keywords for the topic.

Perhaps someone could take the lego idea but replace the the bumps at the top of the brick for midi controler knbos!

Maybe someone with vector drawing skills could make a nicer version.
