Krita logo design thread

Mon Jan 21, 2013 8:06 pm
It's difficult to know what is the logo of Krita.
So, maybe it's time to work on it.

I'll add 2 propositions right after this 'header' post.
Feel free to discuss , and add yours.

Under , visual logo/icon/title related to Krita , from search engine :

Yes.... I like the second idea quite a bit. The colors will give us trouble, though, they seem more or less the same as those the foundry uses, for e.g. mari: http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/mari/. The first idea is a bit too close to the old koffice loge to my taste.

Oh, and you missed one, too -- the Krita Sketch logo.

This one is used in some places on its own, too:

deevad suggestions looks good, but the issue is that it is has the exact opposite style of what other KDE applications are using for their icons.

Yes, the "looking-like" TheFoundry product was done on purpose. ( not enough subtle = fail ).
@Spell : True, KDE icons and Logos are a bit more illustrative and less 'graphic'.

About the sketch icon/logo
@boud : I love it , really , but I thought it was reserved for Krita Sketch only.
It's really pro, nice designed, and representative. Congratz to Animtim on it.
If it can be adopted as a logo + icon for the desktop version and studio it would be a good news. I would totally agree with this.
( also , the 'hue' of color in circle could be different for Krita , Krita Studio , Krita Sketch )

With a "Ubuntu bold" font under ; it look really classy , imo :

Cool thread, I agree about it..
Thanks Deevad for your comments on the Krita sketch icon, of course if it can be used for Krita desktop too I would be happy of it :)
(I'll propose some color variations.. I like your "Krita Studio" version, but less the "Krita" one with yellow ;) )

BTW your proposals look cool too, though I agree with what is said above (too different from KDE style...)

Oh cool Animtim.
yes, it's a lovely work , and for the icon and for a logo. I would be happy if 2.6 communication could start with it.
Cool for the color variation, and sure feel free to come with a better version of color : mine was a speed mockup just to proove the concept.

I think the studio one with the stars is really nice -- maybe we can combine two ideas and put some fire in the desktop icon circle?

So here is my different color version for Krita desktop, using Cyan/Magenta/Yellow values:

If everyone agree for it, I'll export it in all sizes and upload it to master tomorrow.

@Animtim : You have my +1 for this one. Well done.
I like it as a new official icon AND also as a new logo. For sure the CMY is a good idea and representative of Krita abilities.

If we're talking icons, can you (as in anyone with suggestions) post them in smaller sizes as well, e.g. 22x22 px and 16x16 px.

I like 3 logos for different Kritas. Simple shapes and feeling of art.

I also like blue logo of mascot. This logo is graphically cool.

But you decide guys. I'm just a humble user....

I like the idea, the icon is the one that looks best on the Ubuntu launcher...

I also noticed that there is a orange squirrel logo on the git master installation... What is that?
Some time ago there were quite a few inconsistencies with the Krita visual identity... It's good to see that they are being fixed.
