A new logo for RedReader

in utopian-io •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hello,
this is a new design for a RedReader logo. It is an open source Reddit client for Android, with many features. RedReader in app store

I decided to create a logo for this project, because the old one is not very original and it looks a little outdated. There are many options how to make a better design according to the title.

I started with sketching some ideas.

I wanted the logo to be fresh, simple, original and maybe a little cute. When I had some vision I started to draw it in CorelDraw. I made a few versions.

Finally I chose the simplest one.

It is obvious that the color should be red according to the title, but I wanted to add at least some interesting gradient and shades, so it would not be just some boring red.

When the icon was made I started to search for some suitable font. I wanted it to fit to the shapes of the icon, which was not easy, because it is very round with some smooth corners too.

The logo is simple, yet modern and stylish. It can be used as icon too and looks good in one color variant and also in a small size. When we compare it with the old logo it is more original and fresh.

Hi @marty-arts, I'm the developer of RedReader.

Thank you so much for creating this logo, it looks a lot better than the current one. I'm considering using this for the icon of the app.

Before I go ahead, I just wanted to confirm what level of attribution would be acceptable for CC-BY?

Would it be okay if I credited you on:

  • The main page on GitHub, and
  • In a list of contributors inside the app itself?

Obviously the logo will be used in lots of places (app stores, marketing, screenshots, etc) so if I credited you in the two places above, would that be enough?

Thank you again, and hope to hear back from you!

Hello @quantumbadger, Im really glad you like my logo and of course, you are free to use it in any place you want.
It is enough to mention me on those two places :)

Thank you!

I said you are person with thousand talents @marty-arts.
