https://cohost.org/roguecache just made a new solarpunk logo; i think it's very well designed and keeps the simplicity while still keeping sun, nature and technology meanings

Once upon a project (now abandoned), a graphic designer gifted me this logo, is a carrot with electronics soldering like PCBs... https://gitlab.com/uploads/-/system/group/avatar/4402577/huertechno3-01.png I absolutely love it!

I love it! I'll probably trasform this into a sticker and slap it on the back-case of my phone, cheers!

Looks nice but probably too many details to work at smaller sizes. A single large leaf instead of the whole leafy stem would convey the same visual concept.

I would love something that you could spraypaint on a wall within seconds, like the anarchy-A

Honestly stencils are best for that.

This would lend itself to stencils pretty well though (one color, no islands), especially with a touch of spray adhesive on the back. I've done the symbol from one of the more common solarpunk flags, and getting the blank spot inside the gear positioned would be a little finicky if doing graffiti.

You'd want to bridge the corners there, to make it all one piece, if you wanted to be able to put it up quickly. I was just painting a laptop so I had plenty of time to fuss with it.

No idea what v1 looked like, I kind of think it should be flipped horizontally and maybe tilted, since it’s already making an ‘S’ with those two sets of shapes.

It was bugging me how that could be an S but wasn't so I fixed it.

At some point that must have been the idea behind this logo. Would be interesting to hear from the original artist why they decided to go in a different direction with it.

I like this a lot more vertically!

I also think it could have a bit less detail and get the point across, which would let it scale better.

I kinda like the message of the gear below the plant as well. It's like were using automation and science to uplift nature.

Or like nature based on science.

Exactly - honestly would be neat to stick on the boxes for the controllers I'm using for sensors in the garden.

May play around a bit with the design (with the help of a few graphic designer folks that I work with and would enjoy this, who can also do in minutes what would probably take me an hour or two)

This is much better indeed! 🙌

Hmm, I think I like v1 better. It's all good though.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is it just me or dose this one looks a bit like the depressed Form of v1 (I love v1 its part of my punk-jacket). The down hanging leafs combined with the darker colors give me a more sad vibe like if the plant needs watering or something.

I get more jungle vibes from it :o
