Possible New FreeCAD Logo

[adrianinsaval]

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

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.

You can import any SVG and save it in FreeCAD, call it made in FreeCAD? Or am I missing something here?

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.

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.

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.

Maybe we should start by a vote/discussion about changing or not the logo ?

[troll] Oh ! and the winner must change all FreeCAD icons according to his new logo design [/troll]

Yes, please, can you? I think we are at the good point of the development cycle for such a task.

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.
