BlenderBIM logo design

  1. M by Moult on 28 Aug 2020, edited 28 Aug 2020 # +7 votes

    We have a winner! The BlenderBIM.org website has now been updated with the new logo.

    Changes I have made:

    1. I did not keep the blue colour. The website did not have any blue in it, and I didn't want to have to redesign the site to match the logo blue.

    2. I changed the font. Agency FB is a proprietary font. I changed it to CMU Bright. I have a soft spot for Donald Knuth's LaTeX fonts, and CMU Bright is relatively modern looking, under the SIL Open Font License v1.10.

    3. I added the word "Add-on", due to the agreement with Ton that "Add-on" must always be part of the name. On the website, this also shifts the text to the right of the logo, as otherwise it would increase the header area too much for my liking.

    Thank you so much everybody for making this a reality!

    @duncan well worst case the new name will have to start with B ?

    I want to say that I am excited about this. Yes the logo is great but what I am really excited about is that the process was able to happen. @Moult could have easily adopted a logo without involving anyone else and I doubt that anyone would have really cared. Instead he opened it up to the community and was able to create shared ownership. A process that could be applied to other decisions was also created.

    1. Submit a proposal ( @hzamani did this with his first post)

    2. Discuss and accept counter proposals

    3. Create a deadline for proposals and decision making.

    4. Use a poll with final proposal(s) to make a decision

    5. Implement and make minor adjustments.

    @baswein I'm dying to make a comment about the problems with this type of process ... I'll do that in another thread. You're probably well aware of some of the problems anyway. For something like this where there in reality were plenty of good suggestions then this process was great and generous of @Moult to open it up to the group. Next stop is an "OSArch" logo ...

    Are there any conditions on using the OsArch logo? Like using it on your own youtube channel as branding.

    For example, if I want to make a quick youtube demo of BlenderBIM and make a 2-3 seconds intro showing the OsArch logo. Is it allowed? Or will people get confused?

    People get easily confused. So maybe keep BlenderBIM branding front and center if that's what the video is about -nnad maybe just have a quick slide ready for the end of the video where you mention that BlenderBIM is an active member of OSArch, with a bit of logo or even just the website frontpage on screen. Something like that would be my suggestion. @Moult sound okay?

    I think that sounds OK, but exactly this type of branding question is one of the things the OSArch steering committee needs to help discuss and finalise. @Coen would you be interested in starting a new thread with a proposal of the OSArch brand usage guidelines? Over time it can be refined and finalised by the committee!
