Competition for v5.1.23 artwork

[Jeremy Ruston]

TiddlyWiki v5.1.23 is nearing release with many exciting updates; see https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease to try it out. As usual, I’d like to hold a competition to design the banner image that is shown on the splash screen and within the opening HelloThere tiddler.

The rules for the competition are:

* The version number (with the correct punctuation) must be clear and readable even when the banner is shown at a reduced size

* The image must be a PNG, JPEG or SVG of exactly 560x315 pixels

* The bottom 46 pixels will be obscured by the banner text “What’s new in 5.1.23” when it is displayed within HelloThere

* Feel free to enter an updated version of artwork that was a runner-up in a previous competition

* Reply to this message with your entry, or any questions

Here are the posts about previous artwork competitions:

v5.1.22 - https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/rYrja18_SfQ/m/JAklPfjfAwAJ

v5.1.21 - https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/l47ZZzWdDb8/m/6s0p_3QeCgAJ

Inspiration might come from some of the new features in v5.1.22, or perhaps reflect something of the uniqueness of this peculiar year. If you’ve got a great idea for the banner image, but don’t have the skills to produce finished artwork, do feel free to share your ideas in case another person would like to work on the artwork.

The competition will be open for a week, at which point if there is more than one submission I’ll set up a Google Form for voting.

Best wishes and many thanks,

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

 Here I send two banner images, both created in Inkscape. So, you or other interested people can edit and customize it.

Artwork one: The circles means TW is a modular, lego-wise framework and also it is maintained by a lovely community (group of users [outer circles] and group of developers [inner circles])

Artwork two: This second artwork reflects the pandemic

Artwork three: same as two with colorful face mask

--Atro

P.s: The second artwork uses a free open source icon from flaticon.

The colorful mask is sent again! There was a need to align horizontally center the elements.

[TiddlyTweeter]

Ciao Atronoush

I understand where you coming from, But the "mask" in outline does not work well. 

It visually evokes other things. For instance the shape of the head of a teddy-bear.

In particular the loops for the ears are far too short to convey a mask.

I know its a PITA, and not wanting to diss your effort, but that image only kinda works because of Covid. 

Prior to it it would be very confusing.

This upcoming release is rather "Gadzooks Batman!"

TiddlyTweeter,

I know its a PITA, and not wanting to diss your effort, but that image only kinda works because of Covid. 

Prior to it it would be very confusing.

So far, I thought it is a bee, but thanks to your post, I now understand that it’s a face mask.

Atronoush,

I don’t think the banner should be about events in the world, but about the release itself. So instead of saying "When this version was released, it was a Covid epidemic," it should say, "This release featured this-and-that feature".

I like the first version better, for some reason the words "community" and "relationships" come to mind.

[TW Tones]

Atro

Great work, if you leave the colour off as in the second image it works because most masks are mono-chrome anyway. 

A "homage" to covid is a great idea, and if the meaning fades in time that is OK. 

Good work

Regards

Tony

[Alfonso Arciniega]

Any consideration for creating a font for TiddlyWiki, for permanently use in banners and logos? Having distinctive font and logo could make TW easier to identify everywhere, and maybe more "serious" o more "corporate". We could still create banners using the same font. Any thoughts?

Alfonso

[Atronoush]

Thank you all! It was just a try, I am sure we have great designer and we will have much better artworks!

[Atronoush]

Alfonso,

I think this is a release banner and not Tiddlywiki Lego! I think the Motovun is the TW Lego!

https://tiddlywiki.com/#Motovun%20Jack.svg 

But you are right may be Jeremy should describe those criteria, like Font and other elements.

-Atro 

[Atronoush]

TT,

 1. Drop the first artwork svg in https://tiddlywiki.com/

2. Rename the new imported image tiddler to  New Release Banner  

3. Save the wiki and reload

4. Look at the HelloWorld tiddler

It will demonstrates how new release banner works.

[bimlas]

It looked better in the idea than in the implementation, but I’ve already done it, so I introduce it.

Final version, forget the previous ones:

Another version:

[Mat]

@bimlas, I love your contribution. Here's an idea: Instead of the Q key, use a T to make it read TW... 

<:-)

[Jeremy Ruston]

I think that the numbers don't jump out clearly enough from Bimlas' artwork. A good test is to move away from the screen and squint ones eyes so that the artwork goes fuzzy; the digits should still be as legible as possible. Perhaps making the digits much bolder, and a more contrasting colour, would help.

Amusingly, the idea echoes the cover artwork of a book of mine in the 1980s:

http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/4087/The-BBC-Micro-Compendium/

It's a poor quality image but you may be able to see that I rearranged the key caps so that the top row spells "BY:J.RUSTON".

Best wishes

Jeremy.

I'd think the sharpest contrast would be if the characters are white. But I can see how it needs some pretty colours so one idea would be to add some shimmer for the chassi part. Think CD disk reflection. Just an idea.

Had it just been a tad more visible we might have had another keyboard standard today!

For now, let’s look at it in white letters and see what it’s like.

> Here's an idea: Instead of the Q key, use a T to make it read TW... 

Good idea, I didn't think of that. Originally, I also wanted to force the word "ZIP" on the image somehow because of the new Zip feature, but your idea fits the image better.

> Amusingly, the idea echoes the cover artwork of a book of mine in the 1980s

Classic but nice effect to play with keyboard keys. :)

[Cyrill Andreani]

Hey Jeremy,

For lack of time only a quick sketch and also only because of the idea of the winner's podium, maybe someone can convert it into the specifications...

Best regards

[TiddlyTweeter]

Ciao Cyrill 

Ha!

Interesting take. Visually clever. Hats off!

Issue is "23". Surely it should be the largest for purpose?

Best wishes

TT

[TiddlyTweeter]

Ciao Bimlas

As that, but BIGGER numbers.

Its a metaphorical keyboard, not an actual one. 

One is still not quite getting the feeling of "The Shining" :-)

Isn't "23" meant to be special? 

Best wishes

TT

[Mohammad]

I love the first artwork it has an interesting concept! Tiddlywiki is really proud of the great community, difficult to find for other software/tools.

[Mohammad]

Hi Bimlas,

 Your artwork is simple and abstract!

--Mohammad

[Saq Imtiaz]

Bump.

Would love to see more entries.

Apart from keyboard support we have a slew of filter improvements coming.

So perhaps that could serve as inspiration.

[springer]

You can tell that I'm longing for some change of pace away from academic and committee work, right? 

Of course I'm not attached to any of the details. The font is Tsukushi. Friendly, typewriter-invoking, but flexible. Connect the dots struck me as a nice conceptual pivot-point for a TW logo.

@springer lovely font and logo! Thank you.

Somehow my last round of edits didn't upload. So I'll toss that last round in. Obviously, a million variations are possible, so I'll step away until/unless there's a specific direction suggested (in terms of color scheme, aspect ratio, scale, etc.)

Does this mask protect us from Germ-o-lene?

I keep visualizing @springer's first post (that I can see in this thread) overlaid on a very faded keyboard.

[Saq Imtiaz]

This is a quick mash up on the phone just to illustrate the idea (and obviously the wrong aspect ratio) but perhaps it might inspire someone else.

[Saq Imtiaz]

I give up. GG just hangs when I try to include an image.

[jtech108]

Definitely a +1 for springer's artwork.

Hey all, rather than bombard the list with variants, I just set up a tw page with alternatives, including one with a keycaps theme:

https://springerspandrel.github.io/tw/logo-play.html

[David Gifford]

I like the right side of "TW 5.1.23 rectangular logo" could you do that as a separate entry?

[springer]

Dave, done. (Visible, along with other variants with subtle keycap imagery, at the site, https://springerspandrel.github.io/tw/logo-play.html)

Just one stray thought: I wonder whether strings like 5.1.23 might (in some places) get misread as date tags (May 1 2023, or Jan 5 2023, depending on local conventions) ...

If so, perhaps having a "v." (as in v.5.1.23) in the logo might help.

[David Gifford]

Thanks, springer! That one gets my vote.

[Mohammad]

Hi Springer,

 The good news is, you finally succeeded to use GitHub pages +TW 

Good luck

[springer]

Mohammad, Yes! 

Maybe you didn't see my post about that (announcing success) over at the Tiddlyspot-down thread-of-mourning. But I've been very happily using the GitHub saver ever since adding the second email address somehow made all the difference.
After that initial set-up, the GitHub workflow is in some ways even more convenient than tiddlyspot, except for the URLs being not so easy to scribble out quickly on the back of someone's business card. ;)

No I have not seen but I head over your GitHub page and saw a lot of wikis there :-) Congratulation!

One benefit here using GitHub is you start collaborative wikis. of course it needs all collaborator know how to work with GitHub!

 

After that initial set-up, the GitHub workflow is in some ways even more convenient than tiddlyspot, except for the URLs being not so easy to scribble out quickly on the back of someone's business card. ;)

If you do'nt mind, I know you can use GitHub link shortener, so your like https://git.io/JkMje

for example your page: https://springerspandrel.github.io/tw/logo-play.html

is shorten to https://git.io/

The other way is to use your own registered domain! So instead of seeing this https://springerspandrel.github.io/tw/logo-play.html

you may see this: https://springer.org/tw.html  assuming your domain name is springer.org

So on a business card you just need a line like this: https://springer.org   :-)

One minor point: As you are a professor at university, your resources on GitHub will be in reach of many interested people because GitHub is one of main place many academic people use it for their codes, courses, etc.

I am sure soon you will able to use GitHub own features plus Tiddlywiki endless features to crate awesome resources there.

Yes I think that’s quite important, and did used to be the case but has lapsed recently (see the archive here https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/l47ZZzWdDb8/m/6s0p_3QeCgAJ). I will add it to the rules for the next competition, but in the meantime it’s probably a bit too late to make it a constraint for this competition.

[Saq Imtiaz]

@springer if you have the time and the interest, a variant of " larger keycaps hint " that fits the required dimensions (560x315 ) would be interesting. 

[Alex Hough]

Hello All,

I realise that this suggestion is a bit late in the day. Some ideas

Set a release date to coincide with a date which already has some meaning to it. 

For example each edition could be released on a date where there is a new moon. Each release inherits concepts and metaphors associated with the moon!

Or a full moon? This could evoke the Lunar Society (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Society_of_Birmingham) 

The TiddlyWiki community could then be framed as a kind of society of scholars continuing a missing to share ideas and ideas about sharing ideas through continuous international, collaboration amongst a diverse set of people with diverse interests. What they have in common is the urge to store, remember, link, list and systematize using TiddlyWiki. 

Somehow evoke a sense of mystery and pleasurable puzzlement that brings people into the community of uses.

Another way to go would be to systematically promote the links between TiddlyWiki and the cat logo. Images of cats looking at things with curiosity?

 

In both these ideas I started thinking about an abstraction of what TiddlyWiki is actually for. For me it's the sense of curiosity. 

Perhaps we could seek to evoke the feeling which sparks the urge to systematize information revealed in a moment of epiphany. And the pleasure this brings when its an amateur pursuit

Saq, the aspect ratio 560x315 was a bit challenging, but with a bit of rearranging it can work, and maybe even make the keycap association clearer:

https://springerspandrel.github.io/tw/logo-play.html#keycaps%20in%20560x315%20box

[Saq Imtiaz]

@springer excllent! Thank you. That one definitely has my vote.

[Jeremy Ruston]

Apologies, another technicality to note is that the bottom 46 pixels will be obscured by the banner text “What’s new in v5.1.23”, so it’s best to keep important parts of the image higher up.

Mohammad, 

Seeing the logo in the context of that use, where the bottom is effectively cropped off, seems to require that nothing vital be along the bottom there...

At least in that mockup you made, Atro's modular orange banner certainly looks better.

-Springer

[springer]

If the 560x315 goes there, where the bottom gets cut off, then I'd submit this variant:

[springer]

Thanks, Atro! I enjoy this kind of graphics tinkering, and I can tell that you have a knack for it as well. Really, my diving in with this particular task reflects my sense that I gain so much more from this community than I can usually contribute. So when there's a need that's less about code and more about something up my alley, I figure it's an opportunity to give back. 

Regardless of which option becomes the official TW5 logo, let me say that I'm happy to field requests from anyone here for something in the logo-graphics area. Doing things like taking a letter-form and morphing it (like the "y" in Tiddly becoming the keycap shape for the "W" in Wiki) is something that can be done in OmniGraffle, a software tool I have on hand. (I don't know Inkscape, but I suspect it's similar, given the crispness of your png design.) If anyone needs something like that done in a one-off way, drop me a line.

Bonjour :)

In this rainy Sunday I wanted to play with Inkscape isometric and path effect :)

http://tw5.xyz/img/whatisnew5.1.23-rc0.png

In fact I don't really like colors but we can change it easily.

It's not really finished, the idea was to put 1.23 in tooltip, even if in the context it's almost there ;)

And on day I'll try to render Jack isometric maybe, in a simple rendering (tu put under TW5 for example since there is a blank space).

Greatly inspired by a tutorial from Logos by Nick on YouTube (he makes great screencasts!).

Cheers,

Sylvain

[Jeremy Ruston]

Hi Sylvain

That’s great, thanks for entering. One of the constraints is that the text must be “v5.1.23”, might you be able to rework it along those lines?

Many thanks,

Jeremy

Hi Sylvain,

 Nice 3D artwork. See the first post for Jeremy guidelines.

I may also propose if possible submit the same artwork but with few other colors.

And sure, if you have colors combination idea, you're welcome Mohammad !

So this is the RC2 and RC3 with some colors pick from TW.com (orange forum button et obviously blue TW).

The real RC3 is with a river stoty ;)

It seem to be a smiley, not a TW but it's fine for me =)

The spacing between the figures is not perfect, but for this proposal it is sufficient, and we can improve it if necessary.

The process to achieve this if you are curious : http://tw5.xyz/img/wip-5.1.23-inkscape.png

And the SVG source : http://tw5.xyz/img/tiddlywiki-whatsnew5123-inkscape.svg

Cheers,

Nice colors! These two are great. 

By my previous post I meant colors with a little more contrast!

I also like the colors and gradient used by Springer.

Thank you Sylvain.

[Sylvain Naudin]

A little variant to with with an overview of the grid, and other test with bumble to be more like a tiddler.

Sylvain

[springer]

Nice! I've added this last to the site with contestants received so far. I'll add your other color variants too if you post them here at standard size.

[Sylvain Naudin]

Thanks Springer,

You have all export here if you want : https://tw5.xyz/img/banner/

I've put the last of the day with rc5. I'm quite happy now.

NB : Just a minor typo on your TW about Sylvain (yes, my gmail account fault ;))

[springer]

Sylvain, I had actually noticed the name-spelling difference in the meantime as well -- always best to go with how someone actually signs their name! 

I've just added the teal-magenta version to my overview page. It's easy to see how it could be given the same subtle grid-background that you developed on the blue-orange version. That's a great way to make the logo feel worthy of a close-up but still easily legible at a distance!

What we need is the TW Kitty wearing a mask.

The colorful mask is sent again! There was a need to align horizontally center the elements.

Hi Jeremy,

 Here I send two banner images, both created in Inkscape. So, you or other interested people can edit and customize it.

Artwork one: The circles means TW is a modular, lego-wise framework and also it is maintained by a lovely community (group of users [outer circles] and group of developers [inner circles])

Artwork two: This second artwork reflects the pandemic

Artwork three: same as two with colorful face mask

--Atro

P.s: The second artwork uses a free open source icon from flaticon.

TiddlyWiki v5.1.23 is nearing release with many exciting updates; see https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease to try it out. As usual, I’d like to hold a competition to design the banner image that is shown on the splash screen and within the opening HelloThere tiddler.

The rules for the competition are:

* The version number (with the correct punctuation) must be clear and readable even when the banner is shown at a reduced size

* The image must be a PNG, JPEG or SVG of exactly 560x315 pixels

* The bottom 46 pixels will be obscured by the banner text “What’s new in 5.1.23” when it is displayed within HelloThere

* Feel free to enter an updated version of artwork that was a runner-up in a previous competition

* Reply to this message with your entry, or any questions

Here are the posts about previous artwork competitions:

v5.1.22 - https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/rYrja18_SfQ/m/JAklPfjfAwAJ

v5.1.21 - https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/l47ZZzWdDb8/m/6s0p_3QeCgAJ

Inspiration might come from some of the new features in v5.1.22, or perhaps reflect something of the uniqueness of this peculiar year. If you’ve got a great idea for the banner image, but don’t have the skills to produce finished artwork, do feel free to share your ideas in case another person would like to work on the artwork.

The competition will be open for a week, at which point if there is more than one submission I’ll set up a Google Form for voting.

Best wishes and many thanks,

Jeremy

Good idea, I didn't think of that. Originally, I also wanted to force the word "ZIP" on the image somehow because of the new Zip feature, but your idea fits the image better.

Then maybe you could change "TAB" to "ZIP" (since it's already a very special keyboard).

 

[Sylvain Naudin]

Good idea the zip feature, et voilà ! The rc6 evolution.

Sylvain

[Atronoush]

Springer,

 Many thanks for the demo site lets to see all candidates in one place.

Few suggestion, of course if you have time

1. Please add other candidate artwork (you can ask for svg and png both)

2. increase the storyriver width and use vertical tabs in https://springerspandrel.github.io/tw/logo-play.html#Springer

3. change the site title (sidebar logo and title) to something more general not restricted to 5.1.23

4. let use your website for future competition so after a while we will have a lot of artworks for different releases/competitions ( consider in 2100 users will see the history of TW artworks :-) :-) :) LOL:::)

5. your website will acts as a resource other users can download their favorite artworks for their customization and use

And million thanks for making logo-play!

Cheers

Atro

[Atronoush]

Hi Mark,

 Yes, I agree :-).

Mask artwork was in response to Jeremy request: reflect the current situation and events of year. Unfortunately because of the license issue it seems we cannot use the artworks with masks!

--Atro

[Atronoush]

Hi Sylvain,

Wow, these are real 3D artworks.

What do you think if you use four colors of Google logo!

Cheers

-- Atro

[springer]

Atro,

Actually, I already had added all the more-or-less finished logo candidates I've seen so far (though some hadn't appeared on the Recent list because I dragged them in as images, and so the tiddlers lacked modification date until I added fields, etc.).

But I had been thinking about converting to vertical tabs or TOC display, so I went ahead and did that based on your nudge. 

As for making the site open to future competitions, I'm happy to do so down the line if it's useful to folks, though hopefully 5.1.24 won't need to be coming down the pike in too much of a hurry. ;) 

[Jeremy Ruston]

Thanks everyone, and thanks Springer for pulling all the entries together.

I did notice that the entry from Bimlas on 25th October doesn’t seem to be there though (see below).

The next step is that I’ll assemble a voting form for the entries. Perhaps those with multiple colour variants of their designs might want to choose a single entry, otherwise there’s a risk that the vote will be split.

Many thanks,

Jeremy

Jeremy, bimlas, and all,

The image by bimlas is there, as "original keycaps" (last on overview toc, which is in roughly reverse chrono order). I hadn't made an author toc for bimlas since there was only one entry, but I could do so later today.

Hi Springer

Thanks, and apologies, I think the problem was that I'd only found the "Springer" tiddler, and not the "5.1.23 Logo Candidates" tiddler:

Hi,

So for the vote I propose only rc6 send yesterday, and I add this rc8 with a different idea I was in mind.

Sylvain

[Mohammad]

Springer,

 Very nice and useful Wiki, Tiddlywiki 5.1.23 artwork competition!

 I appreciate all your efforts.

Thank you all. Tiddlywiki deserves having such fans!

Best wishes

I need to close the competition now, and put up the voting form. I will take the latest entries from this thread.

Springer, it looks like you may have different versions up on your site. If so, it would be helpful if you could repost your final entries here.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

I just wanted to double check that the four entries I found in this thread are correct, please see below.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

[Ste]

They is all so good! I can't choose! Noooo

[springer]

Jeremy, the one there is not my best one. I just didn't want to bombard the GG with each version.

I'm actually torn between the realistic keyboard version and the more fun design. But I'll post the more fun one, since it's a png with transparency. Of course, anyone's welcome to use any variants at the site, and/or request color variations to suit your projects. ;)

-Springer

[springer]

For the sake of the thread, I'll also post the keyboard mockup that was the furthest developed. If there's just one entry per person, though, I'll go with the wraparound logo version.

[bimlas]

Jeremy, mine is OK.

[springer]

Jeremy, also I'm pretty sure Sylvain's last proposal was the version with the zip-icon worked in. Of course I'll defer to Sylvain, but in case he's not online today, I  wanted to offer a heads-up. Here's the link to a copy I have of Sylvain's rc6:

Jeremy, Atro had posted earlier in this thread that "Unfortunately because of the license issue it seems we cannot use the artworks with masks!"

If that's how it stands, then surely the modular design is the one to submit for Atro?

Thank you Springer, yes if any participant can have only one candidate then my candidate is the one you posted above (I copied below).

@Jeremy, the wiki by Springer has all the candidates

[Jeremy Ruston]

Thanks Springer, Atronoush,

I think it's no problem for people to make multiple entries. There's perhaps an argument against making two entries that are very similar in case it splits the vote.

I'll send out the voting form tomorrow.

@Jeremy, the wiki by Springer has all the candidates

It also has designs that aren't intended to be entered, so I am working from the attachments to this thread.

Best wishes

Hi Springer,

 I think the official tiddlywiki.com uses Vanilla palette. My candidate is also optimized for Vanilla palette and will not work on dark palettes.

@Jeremy

Compatibility with dark palettes if required, need to be added to rules for competition.

Thank you

Atro
