There has been some discussion on tahoe-dev and within IRC regarding new logo designs.

This ticket will serve to hold the summary of discussion and candidates.

We'll close this ticket with a selection of logo moving forward.
zooko-orig.png - Zooko - 2008? original allmydata.org logo
kpreid1.png - Kevin Reid - Jul 2009 initial attempt, red 'o' with 3 black network nodes 'up'
kpreid2.png - Kevin Reid - May 2010 second effort, currently in use by tahoe-lafs.org
kelly1.png - Kelly Marks - Aug 2010 five fresh attempts, !#4 getting most praise, 'snowflake' in block of color (red) as 'o', 'LAFS' smaller and on second line
sam1.png - Sam Mason - Aug 2010 four iterations on kelly's !#3, making text and snowflake bolder
rycee1.png - Robert Helges - Aug 2010 two line iteration of kevin's !#2, 'pointing' down

I showed these to Sebastian Kuzminsky and Dan Wontoner (not his real name) and they both preferred kpreid1.png . I'm partial to it myself. kpreid1.png and rycee1.png are my current favorites.

My current favorite is Sam's first attempt, upper left in attachment:sam1.png.

I think it's solid, strong, easily readable, distinctive at different scales and in black/white, and follows the red/white color scheme explained by Zooko as having importance with regards to the security and confidentiality properties of Tahoe-LAFS.

My favourites are also Sam's first two attempts. The black dots in the snowflake are slightly too heavy in the right-hand one and slightly too light in the left-hand one; maybe something in-between. I agree with the meaningfulness of the red/black snowflake design.

Hm, so the one that is currently on http://tahoe-lafs.org is kpreid2.png . Does anybody want to agitate to change to a different one? Or shall we close this ticket and declare kpreid2.png to be the official logo?

Also kpreid, could we please have an svg of that?

I'd like to agitate.

I still agree with myself in comment:79828 - I prefer Sam's first attempt. I also think that davidsarah's comment:79829 makes sense, and would be happy to see an in-between version.

I think selecting a logo by 'default' is lazy.

Hm, I remember more people having opinions than I see on this ticket. Maybe there was a discussion on the tahoe-dev list. Anybody have links to it?

Since everybody (including me) dislike the font I chose in my submission I thought I'd rectify this unfortunate situation with another, somewhat more awesome, submission.

I noticed the web interface/website were lacking a favicon, so I made one based on Kevin Reid's logo:

http://marcus.wanners.net/tahoe-icon.png
http://marcus.wanners.net/tahoe-icon.svg

(CC BY 3.0)

If anyone thinks it's a good idea, I can set about making a patch to add this to the web interface. I haven't hacked on the source yet though, so it might not be pretty.

Note: marcusw went ahead and did this -- #1592.
