Dgeni Assets

This folder contains assets for the dgeni project. In particular it has the dgeni logo.

Dgeni Logo

Fonts

The fonts used in the logo are:

  • Main "dgeni" text : American Typewriter. The idea of dgeni generating documentation and traditionally computer text being written in a "typewriter" fixed width font was inspiration for this.
  • Tag line "the versatile documentation generator" : Verdana. This clean and easily readable font that complemented and didn't compete with the main font was the driver here.

Image

The image in the logo is of a small british bird called a Wren Etymologically, the name can be considered to indicate that this is the "king of the birds"!

Charles Dickens created a character called Jenny Wren, who brightens the pages of "Our Mutual Friend". Jenny Wren is a young diabled woman who makes dolls' dresses.

Paul McCartney even made a song about it/her: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Wren and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36dtjxUMWdM

The similarity of the sound of Jenny to dgeni was the inspiration here. Hopefully it may help people remember how dgeni is pronounced.
