My plan is to go for 99designs and guarantee some 250 euros for the final logo. There are a few questions they want as background where i'd like to hear opinions :)
I looked a bit around on the page and I don't see how the designer side of things really works. Do designers get money for drafts, or only for the final design? If the latter, then I think this exploits the designers. They would then do stuff for free in the hope to get paid. Just something to consider.
they only get money for final designs. If anyone has a better site to use please let me know.
- should it be a little animal? should it be abstract?
I would say abstract ones are often simpler, but especially in regard to testing no ideas would come to my mind at least.
- should it contain the text "pytest" or "py.test" or nothing?
I would tend to "py.test".
- should it have snakes?
- should it have a goat in some way in it?
If animals are used, then they should be very stylized, so the logo works with few or only one color as well.
- any colors you'd prefer?
Maybe fitting to the current docs.
- any testing tool related logos you like?
No idea.
thanks for getting back. Tarek brought up the idea of a "pan flute" see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_flute because it is used to herd goats and goats are the inofficial mascott of python testing. Also multiple pipes convey the idea of parallel testing ... I kind of like that. holger
