Author Topic: A new logo for SFML (Read 345855 times)

Hi

When SFML was born a few years ago (I don't remember how many :lol:), I quickly "created" a logo for it, with a set of free icons found on the internet and a random font.

So I was thinking, maybe we can do better now

I'm not an expert at drawing logos, but I'm sure there are talented people on this forum. So if you want to give it a try, feel free to design a new logo and post it here.

There are only two conditions:
- the logo has to be under a very permissive license
- it must be compatible with the green and blue theme of the website

I have made this logo in 15 minutes.
He's very sober.
What do you think ?

I like the current SFML logo. It is simple, but looks good and has meaningful symbols

And there are already some extensions that use a similar logo (e.g. SfGui or JSFML).

+1. Why not just keep the old logo?

It's also an option. If most people feel like the current one is good enough, then I'll keep it.

Well I have nothing against the old logo, I like it in fact but I also like the idea of a new look for SFML 2.

Pretty much what I was thinking.

I actually liked the original one

But if you insist, I made a logo

I was trying to go for a simple but bold design, and I will add icons on the ring

BTW the first one seems to look a bit too much like the SDL logo

I think logos are best left un-cluttered.

They'd all be better off without the text "Simple Fast Multimedia Library", as per original; which I still think has lots of life left in it.

I actually thought about it and took out the "clutter" and it ended up looking cleaner

I'm working on the icons, and I'm only halfway finished:

It even links to the website

I'm testing cel shading and I will brush up the logo after I'm done
