A new logo for IRkernel?

[flying-sheep]

Hi!

A few changes or clarifications to the brand guidelines made it so the IRkernel logo (as well as a replacement by @cameronoelsen) don’t comply anymore:

But my programmer art really hits its limitations when i’m confronted with the task

Create a logo that adheres to the visual language of jupyter in a recognizable way without violating the brand guidelines

Would it be possible if you could help @takluyver, @JanSchulz and me out with a logo that fits those constraints?

As an inspiration: i really like the fact that the R logo fits the sidereus nuncius figure for jupiter that inspired the jupyter logo’s shells:

I think it should be possible to get some help from one of the Jupyter design team for this. @ellisonbg @Ruv7 - Is that OK? Can you recommend which of the designers might have some time to work with us on this? Thanks.

Ah, just spotted that this is on the jupyter/design repo, so hopefully the relevant people were already notified. Thanks @flying-sheep

Hello @flying-sheep @takluyver - our two designers work anywhere from 0 - 8 hours a week during the school year and they have a backlog of projects at the moment. Let me connect with them tomorrow and see if we can add this in the cue.

Thanks Ana :-)

@cameronoelsen @flying-sheep are you still working on this, was planning to add sprint-friendly label

i didn’t do anything since i added the current logo:

i’d be happy if someone made a better one!
