Project Logo?

If not, feel free to close this ticket :-)

In the mean time, I'll share some ideas I had ...

[oubiwann]

I'm pasting some sketches I did exploring what might be interesting. I had a few others that I didn't add here:

• one, an all-caps "SLICK" with the "L" replaced with a stylised lambda (looks like an inverted "Y")
• another was an italicised all-caps "SLICK" similar to the new "GO" logo, complete with three dashes.

Here are the sketches I finished:

The three textual ones only have one finished; I chose to demonstrate on the font I found the nicest (obviously inspired by the Lisp "worm" logo).

TBH, none of these really "do it" for me ... though, I'd kinda like to experiment more with the "slick when wet" one:

• get rid of the "CAUTION"
• explore more stylised renditions of the lambda and the three dashes
• maybe go a little more abstract, in general ... dunno

I like the "slick when wet" idea (but I agree it still needs some work - says I, who has no graphical design skills whatsoever :). What about a "Gopher in parentheses"?

[oubiwann]

Oh, that's a great idea! Should be able to adapt this one here quite easily:

Okay, here are some iterations on that theme:

What cracks me up about the "Lisp eyes" variants is the quasi-psychedelic nature reminiscent of Jake from "Adventure Time" 😆

Here's one with outlined parens:

I love the direction where this is heading! :)

So, taking more inspiration from "Adventure Time", in particular:

May I present, Jake Slick the Gopher:

Here's the .svg file I'm working with ... there are lots of layers for each part and variation, so simply hiding them should let you easily examine different options:

I've only tested the file with Affinity Designer; the layers should be preserved across platforms and graphics applications (my Inkscape no longer works, so I can't test it on that).
