cubeberg 540 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I think it would be great to come up with a logo specifically for the site. I've just been throwing text on the board, but an official logo would be even better. I'm by no means a designer unfortunately - but I think it would be nice to have something consistent. We could probably use a mix of Silkscreen and Restrict layers, although Restrict might cause issues with placement on some boards (I think it also might not show up if you don't have a ground plane). Here's a quick sample to get the discussion started: bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like it. I used to just put 43oh.com, but this is way better. I'll probably make a sticker out of this too. Thanks cube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 lol - glad you like it. It took about 30 seconds - I think I saw something similar on the logo thread. I can put together an eagle library with a couple of different sizes if people like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SugarAddict 227 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Whats the sizes of the text? Most of the time I know my boards are limited for size and I use the smallest possible (readable/clarity) with seeeds silking... Tapatalk Mobile Device Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 I honestly didn't pay much attention - I just threw it together. I can make sure to create one that meets Seeed's requirements, and some larger versions for more emphasis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I like it. I used to just put 43oh.com, but this is way better. I'll probably make a sticker out of this too. Thanks cube. YAY! Stickers! Maybe I'm a kid at heart, but I do love to put stickers on things. :thumbup: lol - glad you like it. It took about 30 seconds - I think I saw something similar on the logo thread. I can put together an eagle library with a couple of different sizes if people like it. I would definitely use it if I make any boards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 How about something with reference to open hardware? (not quite there yet, 2 min PS job, but something like this) username 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cde 334 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Well, I say this should be pegged to the sponsored pcb/boosterpack offer. User has the option of where it should go, but it's just fairly fair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(not quite there yet, 2 min PS job, but something like this) 43oh.jpg I like the logo Rob - although I think you missed the "O". I know there was a bit of a scuffle with OSI and OSHW over their logos - not sure what the ramifications are with using the logo as part of another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I like Rob's one too.. but yes don't want to fall into trouble using someone elses' If anyone wants to draw inspiration from the store logo , feel free. It will be very hard to print that on a PCB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I didn't see any copyrights associated with OSH logo (plus this is just an idea.) Bottom part of 3 forms the "o", but you can do a regular 3 and use OSH logo as is between 43 and h to make it more obvious. Another option would be to remove gears and create a different composition of 3 and o. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spirilis 1,265 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I'm redoing my F5172 LP design soon, so when you guys come up with something let me know, I'll include it on the board... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 Tried out the store logo idea - getting the actual binary around the circle and meeting Seeed's minimum text size made it pretty big. Here's what it looks like on a 5x5cm board. I'll try something smaller like dots and dashes to get the size down. bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
