| [13:55] <etneg_> hey kenvandine | |
| [13:55] <etneg_> morning | |
| [13:55] <etneg_> wow lot of feedback | |
| [13:56] <MrChrisDruif> On what etneg_ ? | |
| [13:56] <etneg_> oh gwibber logo | |
| [13:56] <MrChrisDruif> Ah, that ^_^ | |
| [13:58] <kenvandine> etneg_, oh... i just noticed OMG picked it up :) | |
| [13:58] <etneg_> kenvandine: ye | |
| [13:58] <etneg_> lot oftrolling going on there | |
| [13:59] <etneg_> kenvandine: people are beginning to think the "logo" is the icon | |
| [13:59] <etneg_> i didnt do a version for the logo | |
| [13:59] <etneg_> heh | |
| [13:59] <etneg_> oops correction | |
| [13:59] <kenvandine> :) | |
| [13:59] <etneg_> i didnt do a version for the icon | |
| [14:00] <etneg_> as an icon the logo would have to be brought down a bit,some elements removed | |
| [14:02] <etneg_> but thats pretty sweet, lot of feedback | |
| [14:03] <etneg_> kenvandine: based on what's going on now, do you want revisions or new concepts? | |
| [14:05] <kenvandine> etneg_, it would be nice to also include icon versions based on the logo | |
| [14:05] <etneg_> yeh i'll do that now | |
| [14:06] <kenvandine> as for revisions, if you want to update the existing concepts lets make them like 1.1 , 1.2, etc | |
| [14:06] <kenvandine> so they can gather feedback separately from the original | |
| === MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow | |
| [14:07] <etneg_> i didnt get you, sorry | |
| [14:07] <etneg_> i label it 1.1 and 1.2 and so on ? | |
| [14:09] <kenvandine> yes | |
| [14:09] <kenvandine> with separate space for feedback | |
| [14:10] <kenvandine> etneg_, you can just post them right on the wiki page | |
| [14:10] <etneg_> ok | |
| [14:10] <kenvandine> so put concept 1.1 under the feedback section of concept 1 and add a heading and empty bullet line for feedback | |
| [14:12] <etneg_> ok | |
| [14:13] <MrChrisDruif> What are the differences between the logo and the icon? =/ | |
| [14:15] <etneg_> well sometimes if the logo is "busy" you tone it down for the icon | |
| [14:15] <etneg_> icons are kept simpler | |
| [14:15] <etneg_> you just pull out the key elements that make up the logo for the icon and you're done | |
| [14:15] <etneg_> atleast that's what i usually do | |
| [14:16] <MrChrisDruif> True | |
| [14:17] <MrChrisDruif> But busy logo are wrong in the first place ;-) | |
| [14:18] <MrChrisDruif> However, sometimes/most of the time "logo's" include the name in a certain font | |
| [14:20] <etneg_> wordmark? | |
| [14:20] <etneg_> some use wordmarks and some dont | |
| [14:21] <etneg_> depends on the client's taste really | |
| [14:23] <MrChrisDruif> Wordmarks? | |
| [14:24] <kenvandine> i really prefer not having the name in the logo | |
| [14:24] <MrChrisDruif> I've heard once that the Dutch were experts in the use of fonts etc back in the 1900's | |
| [14:24] <etneg_> kenvandine: really? | |
| [14:24] <kenvandine> personally, i prefer logos that are recognizable without that | |
| [14:24] <MrChrisDruif> Indeed | |
| [14:24] <kenvandine> etneg_, like on the website we would have the name in the header next to or below the logo | |
| [14:25] <etneg_> right | |
| [14:25] <kenvandine> but the logo should represent the spirit of the app, not the name of the app | |
| [14:25] <MrChrisDruif> kenvandine; I agree | |
| [14:25] <etneg_> did you mean no text in the icon ? | |
| [14:25] <MrChrisDruif> Or company! | |
| [14:25] <kenvandine> etneg_, yeah... no text in the icon for sure | |
| [14:25] <kenvandine> but even for the logo | |
| [14:25] <etneg_> oh ok | |
| [14:25] <kenvandine> don't make the name part of the logo | |
| [14:25] <etneg_> for the icon i just toned it up a bit | |
| [14:26] <kenvandine> cool | |
| [14:26] <MrChrisDruif> kenvandine; depends on the situation I'd say | |
| [14:26] <etneg_> no text and the smiley glass faces are not visible there | |
| [14:26] <MrChrisDruif> I should reinstall this PC...or remove all the cruft from things I don't use | |
| [14:26] <kenvandine> etneg_, personally i really love concept 1 | |
| [14:26] <MrChrisDruif> It's a bit slow | |
| [14:27] <etneg_> kenvandine: if you want to keep the logo without text, no issues there but just seeing a logo without a name on it is almostlike faceless | |
| [14:27] <etneg_> you know what i mean | |
| [14:27] <etneg_> if im someone who doesnt know nothing about gwibber, and im looking at a gwibber logo on some ref page along with twitter and the rest, it doesnt tell you | |
| [14:27] <kenvandine> that is why in places like the header of a website you would put the name near it, for identity purposes | |
| [14:27] <etneg_> what if someone used the gwibber logo on their page? | |
| [14:28] <etneg_> without a name you cant tell | |
| [14:28] <etneg_> you're talking about using it on the gwibber.com page which is fine | |
| [14:28] <kenvandine> in that case we should probably have a horizontal version with the name next to it | |
| [14:28] <kenvandine> and some branding guidelines | |
| [14:28] <kenvandine> for use | |
| [14:28] <etneg_> oh ye | |
| [14:29] <etneg_> i could remove the text and for those wanting to use it on their page or something, we could have one with the name on it i suppose? | |
| [14:30] <etneg_> have you seen the (RED) logo concepts?if you got the time, take a look at it | |
| [14:30] <etneg_> it's an interesting way to have people use your logo and incorporate their product logo into it wthout killing the aesthetics of the key product logo | |
| [14:32] <MrChrisDruif> etneg_; I'm not catching your drift? | |
| [14:33] <etneg_> http://www.joinred.com/red/#shopred | |
| [14:33] <etneg_> ^^ | |
| [14:33] <etneg_> key product logo (RED) | |
| [14:33] <etneg_> on that page other products trying to collaborate with it | |
| [14:34] <etneg_> (CocaCola)^red. Cocacola has kept their logo there and supports red but they key element there is still the red logo because of the curved brackets | |
| [14:35] <etneg_> so if i took " MrChrisDruif " and put it in a red bracket as ( MrChrisDruif )^red, it'll instantly hit me that you're part of the red foundation | |
| [14:36] <MrChrisDruif> Ghehe ^_^ | |
| [14:36] <etneg_> nice concept eh? | |
| [14:36] <etneg_> heh | |
| [14:37] <MrChrisDruif> Ah, and IT is for/against AIDS | |
| [14:37] <etneg_> ye | |
| [14:38] <MrChrisDruif> Awesome | |
| [14:39] <etneg_> the logo belongs to U2 | |
| [14:40] <etneg_> it's unlikely one of us could get away with that bracket + RED as a logo without someone suing our ass for some sort of trademark infringement | |
| [14:40] <etneg_> i bet he must have paid quite a sum to get by that, just my 2 cents assumption | |
| [14:44] <MrChrisDruif> etneg_; /s/red/blue ;-) | |
| [14:45] <etneg_> heh gl | |
| [14:45] <MrChrisDruif> jk | |
| [14:51] <etneg_> ok just uploaded 1.1 icon version | |
| [15:05] <etneg_> kenvandine: if you have another concept in mind i could do one now | |
| [15:05] <etneg_> something different to concept 1 or 2 | |
| [15:07] <kenvandine> etneg_, nothing now... but if you have ideas :) | |
| [15:07] <etneg_> i do, but if you have one, i could work on that first | |
| [15:07] <etneg_> :D | |
| [15:07] <etneg_> but ok | |

| [21:01] <SirLinux`> Hello | |
| [21:02] <kenvandine> etneg_, pong | |
| [21:02] <etneg_> kenvandine: http://i41.tinypic.com/t0rhio.png | |
| [21:02] <etneg_> didnt put it on the wiki yet, but your thoughts | |
| [21:03] <kenvandine> etneg_, sorry, i don't get the concept. a book with a page turned? | |
| [21:04] <etneg_> ye | |
| [21:04] <kenvandine> it's nice looking, but i don't see it as being "social" | |
| [21:04] <etneg_> blogging as in writing down in a diary | |
| [21:05] <etneg_> oh the social part i didnt convey in this | |
| [21:05] <kenvandine> etneg_, sorry... yeah concept is a bit of imho | |
| [21:06] <SirLinux`> what image size we should use for the wallpapers ? | |
| [21:07] <etneg_> kenvandine: ok | |
| [21:07] <SirLinux`> for the Precise Pangolin wallpaper submissions | |
| [21:07] <etneg_> do you want me to modify it to add social element | |
| [21:07] <etneg_> ? | |
| [21:08] <etneg_> or i could work on another concept | |
| [21:08] <kenvandine> etneg_, something else | |
| [21:08] <kenvandine> thx though | |
| [21:08] <etneg_> ok np | |
| [21:08] <kenvandine> etneg_, i still love concept 1 :) | |
| [21:08] <etneg_> okLD | |
| [21:08] <etneg_> do you want to modify concept 1 ? | |
| [21:09] <kenvandine> etneg_, it is up to you, if you want to take some of the feedback and make some revisions | |
| [21:09] <kenvandine> that would be cool | |
| [21:09] <etneg_> well i did a revision for the icon part | |
| [21:09] <etneg_> removed the faces for the icon | |
| [21:09] <etneg_> i'll see what i can come up with | |
| [21:11] <kenvandine> etneg_, thx | |
| [21:12] <etneg_> np | |
| [21:28] <thorwil> SirLinux`: aiming at 2650 x 1600 allows use on any common monitor | |
| [21:30] <thorwil> SirLinux`: you might want to take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Backgrounds#Templates | |
| [21:37] <etneg_> kenvandine: http://i43.tinypic.com/mald1w.png | |
| [21:37] <etneg_> i havent colored it or prettified it, the concept ok? | |
| [22:35] <etneg_> kenvandine: ping | |
| [22:58] <SirLinux`> made it 1920x1080 | |
| [22:58] <SirLinux`> http://www.flickr.com/photos/33589237@N00/6853434887/in/pool-1860176@N24/lightbox/ | |
| [22:58] <etneg_> what is that? | |
| [22:58] <etneg_> using blender? | |
| [22:59] <SirLinux`> excuse me ? | |
| [23:00] <MrChrisDruif> What did you use to create that SirLinux` is what etneg_ meant | |
| [23:00] <SirLinux`> oh .. i used cinema 4d. | |
| [23:00] <MrChrisDruif> So a reference to the old colouring scheme? | |
| [23:01] <SirLinux`> yeah and a 3d logo :) | |
| [23:02] <MrChrisDruif> Ghehe | |
| [23:03] <etneg_> ah cinema 4d | |
| [23:04] <etneg_> like what 20 mins work i bet | |
| [23:04] <etneg_> if i had to vectorise that sucker, well atleast an hr | |
| [23:06] <MrChrisDruif> etneg_; "sucker" might not be a very friendly word for it, maybe you could try "piece of work" next time? ^_^ Just sayin' ^_^ | |
| [23:07] <etneg_> oh right ok | |
| [23:07] <etneg_> :D | |
| [23:07] <MrChrisDruif> ^_^ | |
| [23:07] <etneg_> just saying, vectorising that would be so time consuming | |
| [23:07] <SirLinux`> etneg_ well , kinda | |
| [23:07] <etneg_> ive been meaning to go into 3d as well | |
| [23:07] <SirLinux`> 20 - 30 minutes | |
| [23:07] <etneg_> atleast for some tasks | |
| [23:08] <etneg_> havent gotten my new machine yet, once it's here, either cinema4d or blender and the awesome zbrush = total awesomeness | |
| [23:13] <etneg_> ive heard some good stuff aboout cinema4d | |
| [23:14] <SirLinux`> yeah but you need good pc | |
| [23:14] <SirLinux`> this notebook i use for such works, is a i7 cpu with 4 gb ram ( sony vaio ) and is kinda slow while rendering | |
| [23:15] <etneg_> well the machine im building and i just orderered for the parts | |
| [23:16] <etneg_> is an i7 2600k, sli 580s with 3gb, and a nice cooling system, 16gb ram 1800, etc | |
| [23:16] <etneg_> i'll oc that and i should do fine | |
| [23:16] <etneg_> even if i didnt oc it, it'll do fine | |
| [23:17] <etneg_> rendering is tricky | |
| [23:17] <etneg_> gpu or cpu? | |
| [23:17] <etneg_> varries with each | |
| [23:17] <etneg_> i mean solidworks + GTX = poor performances | |
| [23:18] <etneg_> solidworks + quadro = major performance because of the drivers that are customised for solidworks | |
| [23:18] <etneg_> blender and a quadro? forget it, might as well stick with teh GTX | |
| [23:19] <etneg_> you have to understand, 5 yrs ago people did some awesome work in 3d without all this hardware, think about it... | |
| [23:20] <etneg_> so i wouldnt exactly count on a rock solid machine to produce quality work, might need some talent too:P | |
| [23:21] <SirLinux`> hmm | |
| [23:21] <SirLinux`> nice specs there | |
| [23:21] <SirLinux`> rendering : cpu | |
| [23:21] <etneg_> ah k | |
| [23:22] <etneg_> oh a laptop? | |
| [23:22] <etneg_> hehe | |
| [23:22] <etneg_> seriously get a workstation, it'll be less painful | |
| [23:22] <etneg_> or just a desktop | |
| [23:23] <etneg_> i have the new xps but you dont wanna heat those guys up, they'll cry for miles | |
| [23:23] <SirLinux`> i was thinkin to get a imac full speks | |
| [23:23] <SirLinux`> specs * | |
| [23:23] <etneg_> for that price? | |
| [23:23] <etneg_> why bother | |
| [23:24] <etneg_> build it dude | |
| [23:25] <etneg_> alrihg togtta jetfor a bit | |
