Quick question, why does it include ".org"? Can't the logo just say "SciPy"? 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. Christina 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 search

I 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,

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, Ralf

By the way does anyone know what the font logo is? Just by eyeballing it looks like Franklin Gothic but I am not sure. However, if there is a more able typography connoisseur among us, here is the logo ready to be compiled by Xe/LuaLatex.

"i" and "P" needs a slight nudge to each other but that means the font is correct. Hence my question. Also you can play around and enjoy some TeX kerning/positioning/scaling bonanza yourself. I'll let Ralf to be the judge :)
Best, ilhan

I don't have the vector art, but I have a higher resolution render:
