Hi Iwan,
Appreciate the feedback sir. Though, I'd have to respectfully disagree.
I agree wholly that much of the color in the program should be related
to purpose. However, there are plenty of little accent colors that exist
just for aesthetics, and they don't come off as ambiguous or do the
program any harm (e.g. the effects and transitions have a variety of
colors, though they don't have any pattern as far as function
categorically, or the trash icon in the Project Bin being a different
color than the rest of the icons, or the render icon having a red dot in
it).
I agree that the color might be a little faded; but maybe a more vibrant
orange - but still relatively close - would do better.
What I like about Farid's logo is that each component is - to me - a
symbol of the Kdenlive interface: the left bars I associate with the
timeline, the cursor is the timeline position cursor, and the "play"
icon represents the final product of Kdenlive (a final video file). Not
sure if that's what Farid was intending, but that's what I take from it.
I don't think an accent color for the timeline cursor would do the
timeline any harm at all. That said, it's a small suggestion for
consideration. It's not a hill to die on. :) Just thought it'd look
cool. Every program should have its own unique touches here and there,
you know?

Hi,
It its much less visible, the orange doesn't look good on top of the UI.
Trying to match colors in icon, logo, software UI and website is a
problematic idea. Each of these products has a function very different
from each other and colors in these products should be used with
purpose other than product identity.
If it is wanted to promote product identity, I'd suggest placing the
logo in the background (about half opacity) in the bottom right corner
of the project bin area and make it possible to disable it in the
settings (shown by default).
Cheers,
Iwan

Great stuff, Farid and JB.
A small thought about associating the new logo with the program:
what about changing the color of the timeline position cursor in
the program to the shade of orange in the new logo? It looks like
it would compliment the program in both Breeze and Breeze Dark themes.
Here are some mock-ups I made:
Breeze Dark -

What do you all think?

Hello Farid,
Sorry it took so long to answer. We had an interesting
exchange on the last
Kdenlive café about your logo proposal and the website (1),
and everyone
agrees that the logo looks great.
We decided to ask the KDE VDG (visual Design Group) what they
think about
the logo in KDE's forum (2), to have their feedback, and it
looks like they
love it too.
My only concern was the scalability of the logo for an icon,
but I saw on
the forum that you are working on an icon version, so that's
perfect.
Thanks for your work!
On the website topic, there were many comments / ideas, we
will need to
discuss it further, also find someone willing to implement the
ideas and
decide between keeping Drupal or switching to a static site
generator..
Regards,
Jean-Baptiste Mardelle
