Hi, Does anyone have the original files from which the current logo on scipy.org (it has the scipy symbol, white letter scipy.org and "sponsored by Enthough") was created? The quality is not great, and editing a tiny gif doesn't make it better .... Thanks, Ralf

I don't have the vector art, but I have a higher resolution render: https://github.com/scikit-image/skimage-branding/blob/master/logo/data/scipy... Stéfan
Found it and uploaded to GitHub: https://github.com/scikit-image/skimage-branding/blob/master/logo/scipy.svg On Mon, 29 Apr 2019 10:26:00 -0700, Stefan van der Walt 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.

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 https://medium.com/sketch-app-sources/30-free-and-open-source-typefaces-rele... https://www.forbes.com/sites/allbusiness/2014/03/06/10-best-sans-serif-web-f... 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, On Tue, Apr 30, 2019 at 3:10 PM Ralf Gommers <ralf.gommers@gmail.com> wrote:

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:

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.

OK, before I go pixel frenzy, I'd like to ask if the following is acceptable until we perform a substantial overhaul. This is the current logo [image: image.png] Keeping Christina's .org remark in mind, I've selected a sane approximation to our current setup and used the open source (SIL OFL 1.1) font Inter https://rsms.me/inter/ and the semibold weight variant of it. It has a really nice x-height hence still legible in small sizes. Also as you can see it does not suffer from the kerning issues we now have. You can also notice that the Logo snake has a bit less hand-drawnness to it. [image: image.png] It's the 3.4 kb version but can be reduced/optimized further. This mail is just for to get feedback. Here is the draft code in case you want to play around with it https://gist.github.com/ilayn/d121ec7deb009a9a257b4813c80dff27 just install the fonts and run it via Xe- or Lua-LaTeX. Please let me know if there are any objections/corrections/suggestions/design crimes I might have committed. Best, ilhan On Wed, May 1, 2019 at 3:34 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, Ralf

"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 :)

Keeping Christina's .org remark in mind, I've selected a sane approximation to our current setup and used the open source (SIL OFL 1.1) font Inter https://rsms.me/inter/ and the semibold weight variant of it. It has a really nice x-height hence still legible in small sizes. Also as you can see it does not suffer from the kerning issues we now have. You can also notice that the Logo snake has a bit less hand-drawnness to it.

It's the 3.4 kb version but can be reduced/optimized further. This mail is just for to get feedback. Here is the draft code in case you want to play around with it https://gist.github.com/ilayn/d121ec7deb009a9a257b4813c80dff27 just install the fonts and run it via Xe- or Lua-LaTeX.
Please let me know if there are any objections/corrections/suggestions/design crimes I might have committed.
Looks great, thanks for working on this! The one change I notice that may be a regression is how thin the snake is. A line width closer to the original may work a little better perhaps. Cheers, Ralf

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.

Indeed I noticed that too but it seems like the original logo that Stefan linked to is also thin. So there is an alternative somewhere I guess. But I'll try to modify the curve coordinates to make it slightly thicker. On Sat, May 4, 2019 at 11:09 AM Ralf Gommers <ralf.gommers@gmail.com> wrote:

As for the font, this also seems like a good moment to take a step back and ask "Why that font?" "What are we trying to achieve with that font?" and "Is there a better one?" Instead of just choosing a font that is an approximation of the one that has been there forever, this might be a good opportunity to choose something better. I can take a look later on. Also, we don't need to shrink to a zero size file at the cost of something pixelated that won't make a good impression.

Keeping Christina's .org remark in mind, I've selected a sane approximation to our current setup and used the open source (SIL OFL 1.1) font Inter https://rsms.me/inter/ and the semibold weight variant of it. It has a really nice x-height hence still legible in small sizes. Also as you can see it does not suffer from the kerning issues we now have. You can also notice that the Logo snake has a bit less hand-drawnness to it.

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.

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
https://medium.com/sketch-app-sources/30-free-and-open-source-typefaces-rele...
https://www.forbes.com/sites/allbusiness/2014/03/06/10-best-sans-serif-web-f...
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.

Very good suggestion. My intention was to get to a point where we are ready with the recent advances with sponsorships and grant applications etc. happening in the project. I think it is important to update the commercial details to signal a proper message to nonPython users who would probably notice these tiny details way better than we do. Then we would be done with the bare essentials and can take our time with the new design should we decide to do so. Hence I see this as a preparation for the long term overhaul and hence the approximation. Other than that you are absolutely right that this is yet another stab without a coherent design brief.

Instead of just choosing a font that is an approximation of the one that has been there forever, this might be a good opportunity to choose something better. I can take a look later on.
Also, we don't need to shrink to a zero size file at the cost of something pixelated that won't make a good impression.

Keeping Christina's .org remark in mind, I've selected a sane approximation to our current setup and used the open source (SIL OFL 1.1) font Inter https://rsms.me/inter/ and the semibold weight variant of it. It has a really nice x-height hence still legible in small sizes. Also as you can see it does not suffer from the kerning issues we now have.

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.

Ilhan, I think the font and snake look fine. Perhaps a larger margin at the beginning and end? It looks to be less than an inter-word space, which is about what it appears to be in the SciPy.org version. On Sat, May 4, 2019 at 11:41 AM Ilhan Polat <ilhanpolat@gmail.com> wrote:
Very good suggestion. My intention was to get to a point where we are ready with the recent advances with sponsorships and grant applications etc. happening in the project. I think it is important to update the commercial details to signal a proper message to nonPython users who would probably notice these tiny details way better than we do. Then we would be done with the bare essentials and can take our time with the new design should we decide to do so. Hence I see this as a preparation for the long term overhaul and hence the approximation. Other than that you are absolutely right that this is yet another stab without a coherent design brief.

As for the font, this also seems like a good moment to take a step back and ask "Why that font?" "What are we trying to achieve with that font?" and "Is there a better one?"
Instead of just choosing a font that is an approximation of the one that has been there forever, this might be a good opportunity to choose something better. I can take a look later on.
Also, we don't need to shrink to a zero size file at the cost of something pixelated that won't make a good impression.

Indeed I noticed that too but it seems like the original logo that Stefan linked to is also thin. So there is an alternative somewhere I guess. But I'll try to modify the curve coordinates to make it slightly thicker.

OK, before I go pixel frenzy, I'd like to ask if the following is acceptable until we perform a substantial overhaul. This is the current logo
[image: image.png]
Keeping Christina's .org remark in mind, I've selected a sane approximation to our current setup and used the open source (SIL OFL 1.1) font Inter https://rsms.me/inter/ and the semibold weight variant of it. It has a really nice x-height hence still legible in small sizes. Also as you can see it does not suffer from the kerning issues we now have. You can also notice that the Logo snake has a bit less hand-drawnness to it.
[image: image.png]
It's the 3.4 kb version but can be reduced/optimized further. This mail is just for to get feedback. Here is the draft code in case you want to play around with it https://gist.github.com/ilayn/d121ec7deb009a9a257b4813c80dff27 just install the fonts and run it via Xe- or Lua-LaTeX.
Please let me know if there are any objections/corrections/suggestions/design crimes I might have committed.
Looks great, thanks for working on this! The one change I notice that may be a regression is how thin the snake is. A line width closer to the original may work a little better perhaps.
Cheers, Ralf
Best, ilhan

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.

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.

Attached the logo with the Google font Montserrat: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Montserrat?selection.family=Montserrat . A clean, no nonsense font with thin lines (sleek and efficient) and no slant (definitive, reliable). A very popular font, but I guess it's popular for a reason. Also, I might recommend changing the color to something darker, like #31397e , to achieve greater contrast with the white and make it more readable. I also have that version attached. I hope to help in that full overhaul, hence being fairly gung-ho about the logo right now. It's something that could be upgraded now, then carried over into a revamp.

Ilhan,
I think the font and snake look fine. Perhaps a larger margin at the beginning and end? It looks to be less than an inter-word space, which is about what it appears to be in the SciPy.org version.

Instead of just choosing a font that is an approximation of the one that has been there forever, this might be a good opportunity to choose something better. I can take a look later on.
Also, we don't need to shrink to a zero size file at the cost of something pixelated that won't make a good impression.

OK, before I go pixel frenzy, I'd like to ask if the following is acceptable until we perform a substantial overhaul. This is the current logo
[image: image.png]
Keeping Christina's .org remark in mind, I've selected a sane approximation to our current setup and used the open source (SIL OFL 1.1) font Inter https://rsms.me/inter/ and the semibold weight variant of it. It has a really nice x-height hence still legible in small sizes. Also as you can see it does not suffer from the kerning issues we now have. You can also notice that the Logo snake has a bit less hand-drawnness to it.
[image: image.png]
It's the 3.4 kb version but can be reduced/optimized further. This mail is just for to get feedback. Here is the draft code in case you want to play around with it https://gist.github.com/ilayn/d121ec7deb009a9a257b4813c80dff27 just install the fonts and run it via Xe- or Lua-LaTeX.
Please let me know if there are any objections/corrections/suggestions/design crimes I might have committed.
Looks great, thanks for working on this! The one change I notice that may be a regression is how thin the snake is. A line width closer to the original may work a little better perhaps.
Cheers, Ralf
Best, ilhan

Thanks for these. Two minor points The font is indeed nice but m-width is a bit too wide for the rest of the site. It has to fit well with the rest in https://docs.scipy.org/doc/ hence a bit of condensation needed for Montserrat (a bit more Maison Neue-ish) which is why I went for Inter. Also for the color we need to again perform some surgery to the top bar as it would sit on that bar and color change would leak to other parts of the page to be fixed. It is indeed popular and there are many options to choose from https://fonts.google.com/?category=Sans+Serif&sort=popularity But I think it's best if we survive this phase with as little modifications as possible. That doesn't mean we need to stop working on it of course. By all means, all contributions are highly appreciated. On Sun, May 5, 2019 at 12:17 AM Christina Lee <chrissie.c.l@gmail.com> wrote:

Just a somewhat random remark on the topic: At least on my mobile device, the attached pictures render with some generic serif font. I don’t assume that this is expected, but it might point to a problem, if the font is not very common and we consider using some formats that are vector graphics. Hanno

Attached the logo with the Google font Montserrat: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Montserrat?selection.family=Montserrat . A clean, no nonsense font with thin lines (sleek and efficient) and no slant (definitive, reliable). A very popular font, but I guess it's popular for a reason.
Also, I might recommend changing the color to something darker, like #31397e , to achieve greater contrast with the white and make it more readable. I also have that version attached.
I hope to help in that full overhaul, hence being fairly gung-ho about the logo right now. It's something that could be upgraded now, then carried over into a revamp.

I think the font and snake look fine. Perhaps a larger margin at the beginning and end? It looks to be less than an inter-word space, which is about what it appears to be in the SciPy.org version.

My intention was to get to a point where we are ready with the recent advances with sponsorships and grant applications etc. happening in the project. I think it is important to update the commercial details to signal a proper message to nonPython users who would probably notice these tiny details way better than we do. Then we would be done with the bare essentials and can take our time with the new design should we decide to do so. Hence I see this as a preparation for the long term overhaul and hence the approximation. Other than that you are absolutely right that this is yet another stab without a coherent design brief.

Instead of just choosing a font that is an approximation of the one that has been there forever, this might be a good opportunity to choose something better. I can take a look later on.
Also, we don't need to shrink to a zero size file at the cost of something pixelated that won't make a good impression.

Looks great, thanks for working on this! The one change I notice that may be a regression is how thin the snake is. A line width closer to the original may work a little better perhaps.

Ah yes, that's because they are SVG files with assumed-to-be-installed font specifications. That's a simple font embedding issue and the renderer defaults to the most common font (the times new romanish font) when it cannot find the font. When converted to png it won't be an issue.

Just a somewhat random remark on the topic:
At least on my mobile device, the attached pictures render with some generic serif font. I don’t assume that this is expected, but it might point to a problem, if the font is not very common and we consider using some formats that are vector graphics.

Attached the logo with the Google font Montserrat: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Montserrat?selection.family=Montserrat . A clean, no nonsense font with thin lines (sleek and efficient) and no slant (definitive, reliable). A very popular font, but I guess it's popular for a reason.
Also, I might recommend changing the color to something darker, like #31397e , to achieve greater contrast with the white and make it more readable. I also have that version attached.
I hope to help in that full overhaul, hence being fairly gung-ho about the logo right now. It's something that could be upgraded now, then carried over into a revamp.

Ilhan,
I think the font and snake look fine. Perhaps a larger margin at the beginning and end? It looks to be less than an inter-word space, which is about what it appears to be in the SciPy.org version.

Very good suggestion. My intention was to get to a point where we are ready with the recent advances with sponsorships and grant applications etc. happening in the project. I think it is important to update the commercial details to signal a proper message to nonPython users who would probably notice these tiny details way better than we do. Then we would be done with the bare essentials and can take our time with the new design should we decide to do so. Hence I see this as a preparation for the long term overhaul and hence the approximation. Other than that you are absolutely right that this is yet another stab without a coherent design brief.

As for the font, this also seems like a good moment to take a step back and ask "Why that font?" "What are we trying to achieve with that font?" and "Is there a better one?"
Instead of just choosing a font that is an approximation of the one that has been there forever, this might be a good opportunity to choose something better. I can take a look later on.
Also, we don't need to shrink to a zero size file at the cost of something pixelated that won't make a good impression.

Indeed I noticed that too but it seems like the original logo that Stefan linked to is also thin. So there is an alternative somewhere I guess. But I'll try to modify the curve coordinates to make it slightly thicker.

Looks great, thanks for working on this! The one change I notice that may be a regression is how thin the snake is. A line width closer to the original may work a little better perhaps.

I can confirm that. Both https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont and https://www.fontsquirrel.com/matcherator conclude that. They are good resources to identify fonts. Unfortunately, I don't know of any that can restrict search to free fonts. /David.
