The final lift default design

[David Pollak]

Folks,

Barring any objection, I'm going to ask Kyle to put together a default template for this design:

We can work on the color and the logo, but this strikes me as the right design.

Objections?

Thanks,

David

I second this.
Love the reddish tint.

As for the logo: /lift/ is it like hitchhiking or like something that elevates stuff?

I've got some ideas for a logo, but I'm no drawing champions by any means, but I've got some connections in the graphic production department at work, and perhaps I can get them to assist me. :)

The origin of the name came from Scala -> Escalator -> lift (British idiom for an elevator)

It's also a pun on lambda lifting

It's also about raising things to a higher level of abstraction

Got it :)

Ok, I'm attaching a png-image with something to tickle the imagination.
What can we do with this guys?

I tried my hand at a logo for Lift. It is early in the morning, and I just made a quick sketch (and I have two left hands). It could be fine tuned further.

I am attaching the original Inkscape drawing as well, if you want to modify it.

Consider me tickled!

I really like the layout of the site and believe we're headed in the
right direction. I especially like the color choice.
Sharing the colors of the dawning sun, the website's palette signifies
the birth of a new era. Also, red symbolizes a pure spirit and its
luminous /ascension/ over matter.
*peers into his crystal ball* Very fitting ;-)

Sweet ;)

 

Personally I think it's important to have a simple, symmetric, powerful logo.

There shouldn't be a doubt that the guy wearing the /lift/-tshirt is actually wearing a /lift/-tshirt ;)

Yep... once we have a logo, we can post it to CafePress.com and get
t-shirts, coffee mugs, etc.

And dominate JavaOne with dozens (hundred?) of people wearing /lift/

1- like said before, the navigation bar is visible enough
2- I find the design a little too aggressive

[Oscar Picasso]

Oups

1- like said before, the navigation bar is *not* visible enough

[Daniel Green]

> 1- like said before, the navigation bar is visible enough

I figured the transparency was just because it was a demo...

[Oscar Picasso]

I have a little suggestion based on what Kyle has done.

I like the logo; simple and concise and visually strong. Definitely an
escalator :)

Cool!

The left vertical navigation bar is way too wide, other than that it looks good.

[Oscar Picasso]

Another variation.

Another variation.

I just slightly changed the color of the left side bar.

[Tyler Weir]

One more logo idea. It needs a bit of clean up, a graphic artist, I am not.

[Oscar Picasso]

Added a picture.

This is great guys, I love seeing creative people doing stuff. :)

Oscar: I personally liked lift5.png best. The warmth of the color of the navbar was appealing to me.

Cheerios,

lift5 is cool.

I have always thought: lift as in lower case l and italic.  It looks very nice in serif fonts with kerning where the l touches the dot on the i.

Brings the page together nicely.

As for the logo, I'm also a fan of the lower case italicized serif
lift. Perhaps a little more tilted and with a little more flair...
hmm... I wonder if you could incorporate "/" on either side of it... I
must not be the only one who writes /lift/.

[Oscar Picasso]

Some little variations on the logo.

[Daniel Green]

10 is too cramped, but I like 11. hmm... I was playing around in GIMP
and found that I take favor with the flamboyance of a Times New Roman
Italic lift. What about some cross between them? The boldness of sans
and the style of times new...

[Oscar Picasso]

Two more...

[Oscar Picasso]

Do you think of a particular font between Times Italic and Sans Serif bold, or do you want to mix both in the logo?

Or could you send the results of your investigation in GIMP?

[Daniel Green]

Perhaps... URW Palladio L Bold Italic?

I really like that image in 23, but perhaps move the logo slightly
up, the f dips too far down

This is really cool stuff. Very exciting! Your time is greatly appreciated :-)

[Oscar Picasso]

By the way the font used in the last logos are the one provided when I choose Serif / Bold-Italic in Inkscape on my Linux box. I don't know which one it is particularly.

Serif fonts can be very different one from the other, especially when in italic.

If time permits I will try Times and maybe Garamont tomorrow.

I want also do some coding after reading interesting stuff about monads...  ;)

[Oscar Picasso]

A last one for today... and then I go to bed.

I'll try with URW Palladio L Bold Italic tomorrow.

I have yet to install it on my box.

Who will adapt the CSS to work with the wiki (mediawiki) or the site generated by maven ?
May it's for an other site, which one ?

You mean like flipping it so that the escalator is somewhat scewed but the text is horizontal?

No, but I can rotate it a bit... :)

And here comes another shot (just for fun)
And now I need to grab something to eat before I starve to death.

Cheers man :)

[David Pollak]

Personally, I like Oscar's #11 best.  It's cool to hang the f highlighted... a reminder that lift and Scala are functional.

Victor... what if the escalator was the italicized l and the ift were underneath it?

David, you mean something like this? (Check the attachment.)

Cheers,

[Oscar Picasso]

Daniel,

I didn't have URW Palladio and didn't find a free version on the web.

Do you know of a free font that is similar to Palladio?

[Oscar Picasso]

Actually I had Palladio :=)

30 => Serif (which font exactly, I don't). The same as in lift11.png but I increased slightly the size

31 => Times New Roman

32 => URW Palladio.

I find Palladio elegant but both 31 and 32 are too thin for a logo.

I prefer 30. I think it has more strength and a "je ne sais quoi" both modern and retro.

[Daniel Green]

I really like the look of 32. I wonder what it would be like with the
lettering slightly spaced.... Is the picture of the escalator a no or
a go? Personally, I'm for it.

[David Pollak]

I like 32 as well. Where does the error/warning panel go?

<lift30.png>

<lift31.png>

<lift32.png>

[Daniel Green]

Perhaps it slides into view when there's a notification and slides
away when that notification has been acknowledged or dealt with?

[Viktor Klang]

Here's another suggestion, exaggerating the F to look more like an escalator.

Cheers,
Viktor

[Daniel Green]

Like it!

[Daniel Green]

Perhaps it's just because of the size I'm viewing it at, but the
spacing agrees with me

[Oscar Picasso]

Daniel, I like your suggestion of spacing the letters.

As for the error/warning, I didn't have much thoughts about it.

I would suggest in the sidebar like in the current lift site.

Anyway I think the sidebar needs to be more precisely designed when we know what goes there.

Viktor, and everybody for that matter, I join a version without the logo so you can try to put your own logo.

[Daniel Green]

33 is a good number :-). 33 * 3 - 3 = 93 = Αγαπη = Love

[Daniel Green]

whoops, I meant 33 * 3 - 3 - 3

[Viktor Klang]

The 33 looks nice :)

Oscar: I think I used Palatino Linotype.

The f is hypnotizingly calming when I look at it.
Good for the soul. :)

Kinda... only I wasn't thinking the ift would be rotated.  I was thinking that the dot in the i would be at the top of the escalator.

Hi Viktor,

This is my favorite so far. Good job.

Guys, I feel we should probably try to nail this issue soon.

 

I'm gladly accepting suggestions, brainstorms and ideas on the logo. (I'm no artist, but I'll try my best to conceptualize the ideas)
 

Best regards,

[Viktor Klang]

I hate to double-post, but guys, I really think we should have a plan atleast for the logo.

Do we have any other suggestions for logos?

I have a hunch it'd be easier to gain acceptance if we'd have a graphical profile...

Cheers,

I have pinged Kyle and asked him to HTML-ize the design sans logo.

Viktor -- please start a wiki page with logos on it and announce the page to the list.  Folks can upload logos and talk about them on the wiki and maybe by end of week, we can have a design.

How much are we really gaining from the extremely heavy JPG compression
on those? From the looks of it, all logos (save your "escalator" logo)
are solid color and would probably look better and show the same
compression as PNGs. Just a thought :).

Derek

[David Pollak]

For some reason, media wiki doesn't allow uploads of PNG so everything has to be JPG.

Sigh.

Derek

[Viktor Klang]

Yeah, the logos look much better in PNG, but the wii wouldn't allow me to upload PNGs, so I had to convert them to JPEG. Sad but true.

Arggggh. That's really dumb, especially considering that the help text
for the upload page has examples for PNGs... Anyways, I was inspired by
your "escalator" logo and put a new one up there:

http://www.liftweb.net/images/9/9a/Liftlogo-dcb-2.gif

I have it in a DXF file but I couldn't figure out how to export to SVG
(hence the lack of antialiasing). If anyone out there has a tool that
can convert DXF to SVG I'd really appreciate a conversion. Let me know
and I can send the original.

Arggggh. That's really dumb, especially considering that the help text
for the upload page has examples for PNGs...

 

Yeah :(

 

 

 

Anyways, I was inspired by
your "escalator" logo and put a new one up there:

Love to see you contribute to this fine cause! :)

In the LocalSettings.php file of your mediawiki installation you can add support for uploading whatever file you want.

Look at, or add a line like:
$wgFileExtensions = array ('png','jpg','jpeg','ogg','doc' ,'xls','ppt','mp3','sxc','pdf', 'nse');

Changed. PLease try it now.

I still get:

The file is corrupt or has an incorrect extension. Please check the file
and upload again.

I guess there is something wrong in the mediawiki configs. It should be able to upload png files which is the preferred format in wikipedia.

Maybe it has to do with mime type detection. See:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuring_file_uploads#Configuring_file_types
and
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Mime_type_detection

Fixed thanks to all the excellent help from you guys!

I had to add the FileInfo PHP module

Posting a logo design here based off the current one. More an evolutionary logo than a revolutionary one.

Folks,

Barring any objection, I'm going to ask Kyle to put together a default template for this design:

We can work on the color and the logo, but this strikes me as the right design.

Objections?

Thanks,

And here is one version with a shield (design speak for the background thingy). A thanks to David and all you Lifters for your work. And a shoutout to Antonio, Mike and Matt.

Nice, thanks for the updates Josh! For others on the list, this is some refinement

work Josh has been for his edification on the logo currently being looked at in the

Lift Site Playground, which is a playground for future iterations of the Lift site based

on designs that Josh has put together for us.

Thanks,

Antonio
