Hi all,
After some reflection my preference is for the second option (blue/blue).
For me, the blue/brown option has a few problems. First is “brown”. People keep telling me that it’s “orange”, but for me and the others here it’s definitely “brown”. Perhaps with the tiniest bit of orange. Maybe different people perceive the colour differently though, or perhaps it renders differently on different devices.
Second, the use of two highly contrasting colours makes the logo feel “split in two” (at least for me). I’ve tried repeatedly to let that feeling go away, but each time I go back to it I just think “that’s two halves stuck together awkwardly”. It’s as if the two sides are pulling apart from each other. I end up thinking “what are the two halves for?” and “why are they pulling in different directions?”. This feeling is surprisingly strong and distracts me from the content.
In contrast, the blue/blue gives me a sense of unity and integration. I know some people find it a bit “corporate” but I think a sense of unity is better than a sense of dissonance.
In any case, that’s my feeling after thinking about it for a few days, I’ll add that as feedback to my vote J
Cheers!
Don

I actually voted for the all-blue one – guess I’m in the minority here but the multi-coloured one just didn’t do it for me!

Somehow, I find the colour schemes slightly familiar...

A pull request for fsharp.org has been submitted. It includes detailed usage guidelines, high resolution versions of the logo, as well as variations of the logo intended for composing into other project logos and imagery.
Work is being done to update the twitter and other social media images ASAP.
We are also planning, and will announce here, options for purchasing T-Shirts and other related merchandise, with proceeds to benefit the F# Software Foundation. We'll post back here as soon as that is ready, which will hopefully happen shortly.
Thank you, everybody! All of us really appreciate all of the hard work that's gone into this, and are very grateful to you all for participating, providing feedback and suggestions, and, in general, being an amazing community!
Reed, Mathias, Paulmichael, and Lincoln
