pretty rtype logo ?

[jokeyrhyme]

I listened to this podcast recently:

• https://devchat.tv/js-jabber/205-jsj-shasta-with-eric-schoffstall

In it, @contra credits having a catchy logo as part of the success of his open-source projects. He even suggests something like https://www.squarespace.com/logo/ is a great way to get started with a logo.

Any ideas?

Type checking makes me think of shapes, and those children's toys with the blocks that have to be the right shape before they will fit:

We could also have a logo-treatment of some actual rtype text. We could use fun, frivolous examples of rtype for this:

• fn (rtype: Spec) => 😀

That's easy 😜

JavaScript

TypeScript

RType

Looks like a logo for a natural language search engine.

How about these for a couple of concepts? Further derivations at http://js-jslog.github.io/

What does the B/8/∞/tape/goggles/mask represent?

I also have a logo ready. I just don't have time right now to vectorize it.

@js-jslog Looks too much like a B, I think.

@ericelliott agreed. I've added a few more ideas here (towards the bottom) which are more clearly R shaped. Out of interest, what inspired the name rtype? It might help stimulate logo ideas.

@Mouvedia The idea is that the 'type' is preceded by a colon (as you would find in the rtype syntax) and the R is built around that colon. Neither the R nor the colon were clear enough so I have tried to remedy that. Let me know what you think. Here's one example, there are a few more at http://js-jslog.github.io/.

If anyone wants to develop on this idea at all I would welcome that.

[ericelliott]

r-type inspired the rtype name. =)

[js-jslog]

I'm pleased to hear that

[js-jslog]

Solved.
