Stylized representations of dated products still regularly take on new meanings as they avoid ambiguity. For example, in the UK (and I expect elsewhere) an early-20th century box camera is used to signify traffic speed cameras. Likewise an icon of a 3.5 floppy disk is instantly recognised as a Save function despite them not being used for many years. The point being, the use of a dated product to represent a new idea is not unknown, and does not suggest the new product is equally dated. The 8-track suggestion was a joke btw.

I have no involvement in this project (But I think it's exiting), so my vote doesn't really count. But I think Jubarend's work is really good. I caught the cassette reference right away. It works well both in the small and big versions. Looks friendly. Has both the musical reference of the cassette and the passion of the heart. Maybe if the cassette included a couple of black dots in the top where the little holes are suppoed to be, the reference would be more obvious.

Re: [slim] Community Squeeze Logo
The image of the cassette is off course a reference to music and music devices lost in time. It's a device that revolutionised the way we listened (and recorded) audio at home just like the Slimdevices did for music files. For me personally it's nostalgia to think of the days i spend recording radio on cassettes and making my own mix tapes for friends, in a way like i use my squeezeboxes to play radio streams and compose playlists. The hearts are symbolic for the communities love toward a product that's been taken away from us and the passion for music we all share. The orange colour works well with dark colours like black and grey when using in hardware enclosure and software, but also works good on white. It's also the inverted colour of the original squeezebox teal. The orange is fitting for the hearts as well, red would be a bit much in my opinion. You can also squeeze an orange, a joke that's been used as the name for an android squeezebox remote Orange Squeeze. The shapes and aesthetics are inspired by the original squeezebox hardware and software. The cassette is a bit the shape of the squeezebox touch, the rounded corners are similar to the shapes of all the squeezebox hardware and also the squeeze server interface. The typeface is also rounded and matching the thickness of the logo's lines and shapes. The design language can be translated to all sorts of uses like icons, buttons, interfaces, hardware and more to make it 1 matching and recognisable concept. The total image is friendly like the squeeze ecosystem is to it's users (user friendly, accessible) and the community towards it's new product. Making it look like a device that is not to hacker but usable for the whole family. In a way the look and feel is about listening to the music you love in an easy way. 14630 +---+ |Filename: squeezeOS-mockup004.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=14630| +---+ Jubarend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98339 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

If you're paying homage, in spirit, should the imagery lean towards an 'accordion' (http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/lenm/lenm1211/lenm121100121/16552952-mascot-illustration-of-an-accordion-pressing-the-keys-of-its-keyboard.jpg) or concertina?

I've made this mock-up a while back before discovering this thread (and before reading about the name Community Squeeze). Some basics points we have to consider are having a logo / identity that works okay in all forms of application. The logo should look good when applied very small, but also stay crispy when printed large. It should be okay when used in black and white (like silk-screened in white only on a PCB). It's also smart to have a type and image combined in a logo, this way you can use the image for an icon or something and still have people recognize the brand. 14627 +---+ |Filename: squeezeOS-mockup001.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=14627| +---+ Jubarend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59333 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98339 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

We have the soldermask color, which can be many different colors, gold (the gold plated copper without the soldermask) and the silkscreen color, which can be either black or white (usually white). The limitations are that the silkscreen can only be applied to soldermask, not to the gold. Using the gold is assuming we have an area where we are not using the metal for signal routes. What can be quite effective is opening up a reactangle of gold and using the soldermask color on top of that to implement the logo, or the opposite, where the logo is implemented as holes in the soldermask which lets the gold show through. It's possible to put soldermask on top of this, but only on top of the soldermask, not the gold. #2 could easily be implemented (except for the shading), but #1 is going to be essentially impossible to come out right. We don't have to have the same logo on the software as on the board and front panel (I'm thinking of using PCBs for the front and back panel, so the same rules would apply there), but it might be nice to keep them sort of similar.

Re: [slim] Community Squeeze Logo
I have to check with the board house and see if soldermask can be applied to the bare gold. All the board software automatically deletes any silkscreen over the gold, it is assuming the gold is where you want to solder components, having silkscreen there would be bad! I should be able to hand edit the output files to prevent that from happening. If that works then I could do #1 with a gold rectangle, with the squeeze in white, and blue (or red) soldermask on top for the community. Whatever color is used for community has to be the soldermask color for the rest of the board. John S.

The limitations are that the silkscreen can only be applied to soldermask, not to the gold. Using the gold is assuming we have an area where we are not using the metal for signal routes. What can be quite effective is opening up a reactangle of gold and using the soldermask color on top of that to implement the logo, or the opposite, where the logo is implemented as holes in the soldermask which lets the gold show through. It's possible to put soldermask on top of this, but only on top of the soldermask, not the gold. #2 could easily be implemented (except for the shading), but #1 is going to be essentially impossible to come out right. We don't have to have the same logo on the software as on the board and front panel (I'm thinking of using PCBs for the front and back panel, so the same rules would apply there), but it might be nice to keep them sort of similar.

I don't quite know how to put this without causing offence but 'Community Squeeze' is not a happy choice of name. aka 'The Village Bicycle'?

My DualLite Wandboard should arrive tomorrow, so the fun will start soon :-) I've been doing PCB art since I was 17 (and that was a LOOONG time ago). I'm completely useless with disigning something visual, but I'm a pretty good craftsman at figuring out how to implement it. Now what is REALLY esoteric is chip art, you need an electron microscope to see it! The really fun stuff is chip art animation. If you have the chip actually running while it is in the electron microscope, the image intensities vary depending on the voltages on the wires in the chip. You can overlay images on top of each other, sort of like the old NIXIE tubes, and run each one off a different phase of a slow clock and have animation that only shows up in an electron microscope. You are lucky, I ordered my wandboard 3 weeks ago and I still don't have it. Hopefully this week sometime. John S.

Re: [slim] Community Squeeze Logo
I don't think it's necessary to do color on the device itself small print on the player can be bw or grayscale ? Color can be for on screen stuff .
