Need OpenWayback logo

[egh]

In order to replace the logos in https://github.com/iipc/openwayback/tree/master/wayback-webapp/src/main/webapp/images we will need some sort of OpenWayback logo. I am happy to generate something, but I thought I should try to gather feedback.

As expressed in the meeting May 23 in Paris, the BA is happy to make an OpenWayback logo.

I will coordinate with our graphics designers.

Sorry for the delay. The Graphics people had a couple of things at hand, but I will hopefully post some logo samples early next week.

[youssefeldakar]

Sorry yet again for the prolonged delay. I was having a little bit of difficulty getting Graphics at the BA to make the time for working on the logo. I look forward to have samples early next week.

We finally have samples. Once we settle on something, I can ask my colleague to fine-tune it.

I like the arrow/clock motif of the ones at the bottom. I think it is important to include 'Open' in the logo to clearly distinguish it from the Wayback Machine. I also wonder if it would look good in the IIPC colors (red #f06b50, green #acc677 and blue #3eaab8 -- color codes inferred from netpreserve.org, we can double check them with Peter and Jason if we want to go in that direction). A little color replace and and we can get some idea...

I'm not sure about the font there and the colors are probably not 100% accurate.

I rather like the colour-mismatch between "Open" and "Wayback" in some of the lower ones:

@kris-sigur: Using IIPC colors was actually something I mentioned to my colleague in Graphics.

I also like the arrow/clock motif in IIPC colors. Does IIPC have a designated typeface that might be used?

[ldko]

One more thought, if it has been decided that OpenWayback should not have a space when written, does it confuse the issue to have the logo split the line on "Open" and "Wayback"?

[kris-sigur]

@lauren-unt Those are good points.
@peterwebster Perhaps you can enlighten us if there was any design guidelines created during the website refresh?

[youssefeldakar]

@lauren-unt I see your point about the split of "Open" and "Wayback." Will see what alternative we can come up with.

I like the arrow-backwards-around-the-clock idea. I would suggest not using text or individual letters at all as it very rapidly gets inelligible at icon size, as well as the clock hands. Also be careful about color - will it be recognizable in black and white?

[youssefeldakar]

@ravn Arrow-backwards-around-the-clock such as in the first jpg, second row, middle one?

Anyone has any other preferences at this point?
