For idea #1, the stylized Z% looks too flowing/serif-y to go with the typewriter font "sh". They end up looking like separate pieces rather than a unified logo. Either the % should be less loopy or something else should be done with the "sh". Also the baseline of the "sh" looks too low, perhaps push it up just a bit so that the center line of the "s" aligns with the center of the lower circle of the %. I'm not excited by idea #2. It might be better if the break in each circle were above the horizontal lines of the Z, rather than below, but I'm not sure. Maybe what bothers me is the way things sort of bubble outside the "box" defined by the corners of the Z; aside from the font clash in #1 I like the way its circles fit inside the angles.

If the basic theme is to meld Z and % together, perhaps render the Z in a slightly different shade than the two circles, and match the Z shade with the "sh" in the first idea. That would tie the three letters together more (or so I imagine).

This might be the way to go, however it might be worth noticing that Bash logo isn't like that, it's more like "calm", maybe even "warm". That said I don't really like the bash logo, I think it's too simple – it's based on cube, and I myself created such logo for Zplugin, deliberately within 1 hour (to have just a snapshot of my unconscious): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zdharma/zplugin/master/doc/img/zplugin.png, and I'm not a graphics talented person. Out of the 3 versions of the 2nd idea I like the second (the middle one) the most. As I said the IMO poster-like, strong logo might be the way to go, however you might evolve it with the observations, who knows what will be the effect. -- Sebastian Gniazdowski News: https://twitter.com/ZdharmaI IRC: https://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode.net:+6697/#zplugin Blog: http://zdharma.org ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 42+ messages in thread

The "o" part of the % is no smaller than the s. Given that a prompt is more often rendered in a fixed width font, I wonder if it would work better with a typewriter font used as the basis of the % and the Z elements of the merged character matching the "sh" as far as possible. Idea 2 looks good. The first two are more striking but the third perhaps is more reminiscent of a terminal window. The % is less apparent than with idea 1, however - I suspect many people wouldn't even make the connection and would only see it as a Z with some circles. The association between zsh and a default prompt is probably less strong than it is for bash to begin with - zsh users being more likely to customise things. > As for the second idea, I see it quite like a poster-like, i.e. > strong, clear-cut, impressive/influential.

That said I don't really A stronger logo might better suit zsh.

I like the white shadow on the diagonal and the diamond background shape in the middle one but I prefer the orange on black of the third to the black on orange. Thanks Justin!

[...] Sorry for throwing a completely unrelated idea late to the party, but when the idea of a new zsh logo was first mentioned, one thing that came to my mind was a "ZSH" made with multicolor lego bricks to reflect the multi-faced, modular nature of zsh (and it can be shaped any way you want; playdough would also work there I guess).

I would agree that the lego bricks convey the 'building" meaning, which to me appears as a "free your mind" sense, which if shared among other people would be an useful one for Zsh as the message to convey about itself. -- Sebastian Gniazdowski News: https://twitter.com/ZdharmaI IRC: https://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode.net:+6697/#zplugin Blog: http://zdharma.org ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 42+ messages in thread

First thanks for the work, it looks great. From all 10 icons in this round, my personal favorite is copy 3. I like the subdued Z graphic, and the name of the project being clearly visible. If I had to change a couple of things, I would try: * using lower case instead of small caps: this is the way I think most people see the string "zsh" in their daily life. * using italic, so that "zsh" slants the same way as the stylized Z, giving a sense of forward motion. * Maybe I'd try extending the bottom horizontal part of the stylized Z and have the string "zsh" or "sh" rendered over this extended bottom Z leg. Scuse' the ASCII graphics and wrong aspect ratio: o---, / / zsh / `--------------o This is what I don't like about some other logos: * For logos 6-10, I don't really see "zsh" initially, just "sh". It takes an extra step to think about or see "zsh" in the logo. Maybe making the stylized Z smaller would help here. * I think number 4 is too dark/heavy. * I don't like the font on number 5, just a personal taste. * I don't like the bottom vertical alignment on number 2, it doesn't feel natural. * In number 1, I think that "zsh" all lower-case would work better than the initialed "Zsh", see first bullet above for the rationale. Thank you again for the great looking logos! Phil.

TBH nothing, just a design idea they had. The circles might have been intended to get the effect of a "Z" and a "%" set on top of each other [1], I assume? Right now it just looks like a Z-with-circles, since the entire circle-Z-circle is a single color. (I'd love to see a mockup involving a %-on-top-of-Z. In fact, maybe take this further: the logo could be "zsh" underlaid under a muted "percent sign, space, terminal cursor" three-character sequence — if you can figure out a way to represent that graphically.)

I just wanted to point out that this is describing something very similar to one of the options in the FIRST round of samples, about which I said at the time: >> If the basic theme is to meld Z and % together, perhaps render the Z >> in a slightly different shade than the two circles, and match the Z >> shade with the "sh" in the first idea. I can't point to the image because the URL has been re-used to expose the second round, so the first-round images are lost. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 42+ messages in thread

For avoidance of doubt: I did not ask to be the arbiter, I do not wish to be the arbiter, I will not accept arbitership if offered to me, and for whatever it's worth, I don't even know whether or not Justin's second-person pronoun referred to me.

I think you've perhaps misunderstood me. By 'it needs to READ as "zsh"', what I mean is that someone glancing at the logo as a whole needs to see "zsh" - not "Zzsh" or "sh". I wasn't dismissing the approach in 6-10. If anything, I prefer it. I think other people mentioned ideas for bringing it more together like extending the leg of the Z under the sh. Or maybe a cursor following the % under the sh. In 6 and 7, it helps that the font for "SH" is more similar but slightly more slant may be better. While I like 7, the background has forced more distance to the "SH". With "Zsh" next to the logo as in 1,3-5, it becomes more about separation. I'd be interested to see what 3 looks like in 4 colours. Oliver ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 42+ messages in thread

The feedback: – at the first impression I didn't like the mild colors of logos 1, 3–5 – I liked the second icon-set; the SH in the 2nd logo looks interesting; it's conveying a message: "SHELL", or even "/bin/sh descendant" to then draw watcher's attention to the "Z" on the left, which restores the proper "ZSH" identity; however this is a little complex and too difficult thinking to the watcher as I think it doesn't "flow" enough, i.e. the logo is little to rigid, – out of the both icon sets I like the 2nd and 7th logos the most; I'm however also not very excited by the circles. -- Sebastian Gniazdowski News: https://twitter.com/ZdharmaI IRC: https://kiwiirc.com/client/chat.freenode.net:+6697/#zplugin Blog: http://zdharma.org ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 42+ messages in thread

Before moving forward I would love to get some input from you all. I quite like the idea of having the percent symbol in the logo, the same way there's the dollar symbol in bash's logo. Like Sebastian, my immediate reaction to the first logo was that it reads “Zosh” and not “Zsh” — which in my case in probably reinforced by the choice of colors, because in France there's a very well known telephony brand called “Sosh” and it belongs to the “Orange” company (the color of which, as you can guess, is orange). See http://sam.web.free.fr/blog/wp-content/uploads/logo-soshorangemobile.jpg I asked my girlfriend, who is an avid user of Zsh as well but 1) was not aware what the images were about and 2) didn't know that the default Zsh prompt is the percent symbol, and she had the exact same reaction. She red “Zosh” or “percent-sh”, but couldn't figure at all there was a link with Zsh. I also agree with Bart's remark on the font mismatch — tough I only realized that after reading his message. I like the second logo better, especially the second variant. To me, it looks like a mix of the Z of Zsh, the percent symbol and a PCB. Very cool. If feels like it was only the “small” version of a more complete logo, though, like the one you use as an icon rather than the one you use on a website header.
