Logo Voting Round 1 is Complete!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the first round of the logo voting! Your engagement and feedback have been incredible, and we're excited to share the results.

Top 6 Logos The logos that received the most votes:

  1. “CO-Arrow”

  2. “CoMaps Arrow”

  3. “Windy-Road-Pin"

  4. "Co Compass"

  5. "Clouds/continents arrow"

  6. "CM-Compass-Split"

Next Step These logos will now undergo a refinement process, to iterate and improve the designs. See https://codeberg.org/comaps/Governance/issues/78

Final Vote Once the final versions are complete, the final round of voting will open. This will be your chance to choose the final logo that will represent CoMaps.

Together, we're building something amazing, and we can't wait to see the final logo that you help create!

The Lemmy app Voyager let's you select and change the app icon. Maybe CoMaps can allow us to pick between all six of these (after refinement) icons.

Edit: I suppose there still needs to be an overall winner for the apps image but I think my idea above sounds fun.

Fun idea. Also signal allows you to change the app icon to quite a few other, predefined icons.

@Lazycog @sic_semper_tyrannis Funny, today I learned. On :sailfishos: #SailfishOS however each different selected icon makes a new element in the app menu, rendering all others non-functional 😅

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

Ouch! Hope that gets fixed up!

Customizing the icons of apps is a small but nice way to allow phone customization for non-powerusers, so I very much like that :)

Just a heads up the first one looks similar to the Mapillary logo.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

6 looks way too much like an envelope, implying a mail app, IMO.

4 is a little too similar to Safari.

The other 4 are great. I have no idea what the users in the Codeberg are referring to when they say 1, 2, and 5 look like messenger apps. I don't see it at all.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

they're literally just talking about telegram, which uses a paper plane, which looks like the navigation arrow.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh right, I see what they're saying.

I still disagree, because IMO the fold is key to the silhouette of the Telegram logo (and other paper plane–based logos, like the now-defunct Sparrow third-party Gmail app). The design in these logos just looks to me like the standard navigation arrow that's used in apps like Organic Maps and Google Maps.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago

yeah i agree, it feels like they just use telegram a lot and thus see the icon when they close their eyes, lol

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago

I love 5

[–] Charger8232@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

Definitely 2 (CoMaps Arrow), although possibly rotate the arrow counterclockwise slightly.

1 and 4 look too similar to OpenResume, 5 is too detailed, and 3 and 6 wouldn't look very good when sized down (e.g. in the status bar.)

Note that 2 does look similar to OpenCVE.
