Depends on the logo, a 2D design like this one is probably better done on inkscape, if you want to use it in FreeCAD you can easily import the svg, for those 3D like designs I would agree they should make it in FreeCAD too, however I'm against 3D like logos in general, they're not good for small sizes.sliptonic wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 6:12 pm My point is that the design exists in an ecosystem. What if I want to incorporate a logo inside a design file, say for a milling vise. Logos designed in other tool are more limiting for further FreeCAD work.
Logos designed IN FreeCAD have more intrinsic value TO FreeCAD

Re: Possible New FreeCAD Logo
No you're not. But SVGs are 2D even when they're communicating 3D information. If I'm modeling a 3D object and want to use elements of the SVG, I have to recreate that 3D data.
Going the other way is actually easier. I could model a 3D logo (Well not me. My artistic skills suck) but someone could model a 3D logo and export a 2D SVG. The logo source files would still be available if someone wanted to use them that way.
Re: Possible New FreeCAD Logo
Wow, 4 pages of comments. It looks like the logo Is becoming a hot topic!
That's a hint that the proposed design Is good!

That is where logos go to die. It's like the suggestions box at the local government building.rockn wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 8:09 pm I think you miss the 45 pages of comment of logo discussion here:

For logo discussions to have any structure of sense, there needs to be a threaded discussion with upvotes/downvotes/comments for each, sort of reddit style. And all those discussions should lead to something, so there needs to be a deadline where something is decided.
The current FreeCAD logo should be a part of that contest.
Re: Possible New FreeCAD Logo
Maybe we should start by a vote/discussion about changing or not the logo ?

Re: Possible New FreeCAD Logo
Yes, please, can you? I think we are at the good point of the development cycle for such a task.

Re: Possible New FreeCAD Logo
That's actually a great idea, the first one. But that would need to be done in a very objective way.
That's okay, we'll just overwrite old FreeCAD.ico with new FreeCAD.ico. Job's done.Oh ! and the winner must change all FreeCAD icons according to his new logo design
