Can't the logo just say "SciPy"?Thanks Christina, that's a great question. I can't think of a reason, just "SciPy" seems better. Perhaps we've been staring at it for so long that it's not noticeable anymore. Let's change it now.A good rule of websites is to use svg whenever reasonable. The main logo isn't the only image where doing this could bump up cleanliness. Several other logos on the main page could also use an update. For example, just traced over the download graphic as attached. No more resolution problems, and smaller.That's great, thank you! Yes, you're right ... and it's not just the logos that could use a makeover, the whole site needs attention.Cheers,Ralf_______________________________________________On Wed, May 1, 2019 at 12:05 PM Ilhan Polat <ilhanpolat@gmail.com> wrote:> Would you be able to make a web-sized image and add it to scipy-sphinx-theme?Yes that's not a problem thanks to the vector graphics. The main concern here is the legibility of the font. I now think that the original font was ITC franklin medium though.Anyways, I have searched for some open source fonts in the meantime and many curation pages are available online; to give two results from a quick Google searchI am no designer by any means hence take these as availability stats but we might be better off if we switch to a font with suitable license in place for a commercial font. Also all feedback and help are welcome.Best,_______________________________________________On Tue, Apr 30, 2019 at 3:10 PM Ralf Gommers <ralf.gommers@gmail.com> wrote:_______________________________________________Thanks Stefan & Ilhan!Scikit-image has the right idea I think with a separate branding repo. Shall we create one for SciPy as well?Ilhan, that looks really good! Would you be able to make a web-sized image and add it to scipy-sphinx-theme? The current image is a 2.4kb gif, I think it can be larger but as small as possible while still looking good would be nice. Because it gets downloaded millions of times a month, and also directly adds to the size of the numpy and scipy sdists.Cheers,RalfOn Mon, Apr 29, 2019 at 10:44 PM Ilhan Polat <ilhanpolat@gmail.com> wrote:By the way does anyone know what the font logo is?
