Create a real logo

[gusaus]

So another indicator this has been essentially a personal project for spinning up client/partner sites - didn't think I'd be in a rush to switch out my bad photoshop of the Arthur Fiedler statue with a real logo... until somebody pointed that out a couple of days before we go live with FundOSS
https://fundoss.org/collective/openproducerplatform

@tonyzeoli @majick777 Does anyone have any suggestions for making a logo real quick?

[gusaus]

Thanks @tonyzeoli for creating the temporary logo seen here -

Maybe hiring someone to create a replacement could be one of the FundOSS outcomes.

If we think this is good for the time being, I'll close out this issue.

Did have a look around, and got inspired by the musical note being similar in shape to the P in Producer...
Using this shape here: http://cliparts.co/clipart/3775308
Had a quick play with distorting the shape to look like and O and P:

Just an idea (I'm better with ideas than graphics)... think it looks cool, but not attached...
Could be redone higher quality or more professionally at a later stage.

That does look cool, but OP is more than just music and it’s really a website builder at the end of the day.

@majick777 Just checking this now https://github.com/netmix/openproducer-platform/issues/29#issuecomment-856676425

It's pretty cool! I do agree w/ @tonyzeoli that we may extend into non-music open producer flavors. I didn't think either of you would spend as much time on logo design as you have already. That said, I really appreciate it!

Are we all good with this temporary logo? The one thing I'd say after now seeing it on our pages - it seems a bit small and maybe a bit too square?

Semi-related note on https://fundoss.org/collective/openproducerplatform

It's still not showing you both as team members - I'll followup again with FundOSS team if you're both not there. Keep in mind that it's pulling team members from our collective https://opencollective.com/openproducerplatform

That it is Open Producer Platform rather than just Open Producer, made me think that the note could be
sitting on a line and that would be the "platform" part: https://wpmedic.tech/downloads/open-producer-platform.png

I get that Open Producer is not just about music, but any logo is going to be a rough sketch of what something does by its nature... There are plenty of logos out there that bear little resemblance to what they represent, but at least this has some relation to it... also it's always difficult to find any icon/image that represents anything like a website/builder.

Anyway, not going to spend more time on this if it's not going to be used. Just thought having something pretty would draw more funding in the short term, as it looks more official, even if we replace it in the longer term.

Btw I can't see the other one Tony Z did on the FundOSS page anymore, it's now just a face instead?

[tonyzeoli]

It's really too early to create the proper logo for this anyway. Right now, I just created a placeholder with the "web" icon that a lot of people use and OP inside of that. I'd rather leave logo design to a logo designer and we can focus on other areas. But that will come later. No sense spending time on this now, because we're in a rush to get OPP content done and no one even knows how this will all play out anyway. Let's just see what happens. The lgoo is the last thing on the list at this immediate juncture.

It would be nice to hook up with designers who could help us here and also partner up for services. There are a couple folks I could reach out to post FundOSS launch.

@tonyzeoli As noted above, it seems like the logo is bit small and maybe a bit too square?
