Re: [apparmor] Proposal for a new AppArmor logo

[Noah Davis]

Asymmetry isn't really part of the design, but the shadows all come
down at a 45 degree angle. The long legs fade back into the inner
shield backgrounds of the same color. The lower part of the long leg
of the cyan 'A' is actually a separate piece that blends the leg into
the shadow as if it was reaching back down below the source of the
shadow. I've changed the rate at which the color of the leg darkens to
make it appear longer and lengthened the gradient of the shadows cast
by the cyan 'A' and the leg of the white 'A'.

This is really cool :) thanks!

I think my sense of symmetry would prefer if the lower, left-side shadow
would reach a point at the same level of the right-side inverted A,
to match the pointy shadow at the top on the upper left side... have
you tried more symmetry? or is the asymmetry important to the design?

Thanks

Whoops, I accidentally sent an older 32x32 version. I've attached the
64x64 version with some slight adjustments to the size of the 'A's,
inner shield and height of the shadow on the leg of the white 'A'.
This kind of logo isn't really suitable for icon resolutions smaller
than 32x32, so I could make an alternative logo specifically for 22x22
and 16x16.

Hi Noah,

nice, thanks

so I do have a few comments
- at smaller sizes it gets difficult to identify the 'A's

I messed around in gimp a little and here are some suggestions based on things 
I tried, feel free to ignore
- darkening the colour does increase the contrast and helps with the white A 
but doesn't help the coloured A, I think because it has less contrast to the 
shadow
- extending the none shared legs a little (they can extend into the border) 
does help with being able recognize the 'A's when the logo is small
- providing a dark outline (I used the outline color) does help with the 'A's 
visibility

of course I understand some of these may affect the logo in adverse ways when 
you are looking at a larger version.


the other question would be around licensing, if you want it to be used in the 
upstream project (and not just yast) the license will need to be compatible, 
and open to sharing.

[apparmor] Proposal for a new AppArmor logo

[Noah Davis]

Hello,

I'm working on icons for openSUSE's YaST Control Center and I realized
AppArmor needed a unique and attractive way to identify it. I have
attached the logo I came up with. Constructive feedback is
appreciated.

Thanks,

Noah Davis
