#

when scaled down to a tiny server icon none of the details will come through well

#

the arch logo will be tiny, the text will be unreadable, and the rainbow will just be a blob

#

apart from that i like it

#

i did make this server icon specifically to look like all the other linux pride server icons that are setup, if you can tell me the complaints i can try to fix it

kindred harbor
#

Maybe i'll remake it with bigger proportions :p

echo robin
#

its also likely they meant the old one which was pretty crap

kindred harbor
echo robin
#

good idea, i think a contest was planned too

kindred harbor
echo robin
#

oh yeah that was the old one

kindred harbor
#

I'll remake one with bigger proportions when I get the time and see if it turns out to be decent

echo robin
#

ping me once you are done, i can critique if you want

kindred harbor
#

Okay :)

echo robin
#

i do like what you were going for

kindred harbor
#

If you have some other suggestions lmk

#

Maybe I should change the style

echo robin
#

fwe more tips

  • imo maybe a diff color palette
  • dont put text and small details, things should be big and obvious else they wont work well

#

So just the rainbow and arch logo?

echo robin
#

i learned the small details part the hard way with this old logo for a diff arch server lol

#

Okay i'll probably try that then

echo robin
kindred harbor
echo robin
#

yep

#

also because the arch logos are tiny

#

and not apparent

kindred harbor
#

Yeah i'll try to make it take up most of the canvas

#

That's the only way for it to be visible

echo robin
#

if it inspires you at all here are some other designs ive done

#

not many though

kindred harbor
#

oh I like the debian one :p

#

looks cool

#

thanks

echo robin
#

ive found that just keeping it simple with making sure there are still big details that make it look good at a big distance results in a good icon

kindred harbor
#

yeah you're right, text doesn't really belong in an icon unless it is scaled to a huge size

#

for example the btd6 server

echo robin
#

well im excited to see what you come up with

kindred harbor
#

gonna be a little busy because of exams so probably not in like 2 days but when I find some free time I'll remake it

echo robin
#

ok

#

It has text
Doesn't pass the scalability test

#

@kindred harbor use logolab when making logos to check if it will look good

kindred harbor
#

Thanks

#

Already kinda worked on another version and it looks kinda nice will continue working on it today

tidal peak
kindred harbor
#

Thanks for the tips

#

Will show y'all the result when i'm done

kindred harbor
#

@echo robin hey sorry for the ping just wanna say that I kinda gave up on this cuz i'm not that good with logos rn maybe in the future. I made another version but it's not that good I feel like but i'll send it anyway

echo robin
#

oo

#

i like it ngl

wild ravine
#

it's my hyprland user coming out

#

transparancy+blur

#

perfect

#

this should be the official one

#

also the pastelles

#

I love catppuccin and while it's not it reminds me of it

echo robin
#

good when scaled up, it looks shit as a server icon

#

bad contrast

wild ravine
#

it does?

#

oh

echo robin
#

yerp

#

theres a reason its not used

wild ravine
#

it looks so good scaled up 😭

kindred harbor
