Morning, everyone. I had fun trying to create a logo for Art, knowing that the current logo is supposed to be provisional according to Alberto. I realized that the task was harder than it looks. After several attempts going in many directions, I submit a first proof to your critics. Even if a logo must be visual above all, I wanted to give meaning to it: I took the colour code of the Rt logo inside a simplified camera (telemetric 
) and I replaced the lens by the tab that is emblematic for me of Art, the local correction. The colors overflowing from the subject evoke the brush of local correction.
here are 4 variations (2 without the name, and with a different color trail)

After a real test ! it seems that in small (real format) the visual readability is better with a white background trimming .

nice! 
do you have the svg sources as well? Iâd like to play with a few variationsâŠ
Thereâs also this idea that has been proposed recently (though itâs only a mock-up): agriggio / ART / issues / #47 - ART - visual identity â Bitbucket
The art looks really nice!
But for a logo which is often displayed rather small, it might be a bit to overcomplex. In comparison the logos of Rawtherapee and darktable are much more simple.

Not the right place to say this I think, but I love the actual logo! Its rainbow colors can be interpreted as well like âEverybody is welcomeâ.
I designed it in krita that doesnât export in svg. I can pass you the .kra file which contains all the layers. Inkscape can output the .svg but it will be a flattened image.
oh⊠that is unexpected!
that could work too, thanks!
yes it is indeed a little too complex for a good visibility in small format. Thatâs why the last one presented is more readable.
Yes I had seen, and what I tried to do from that idea was even less readable, even if the idea is very good .
Oh, je ne savais pas que je parlais si bien le français! 
How about a simplification along these lines? (hopefully better executed 
)

I was testing that too right now!!! 
If you can draw the rectangles with a more âcartoonishâ style (like you did in your original logo), I think that might workâŠ
I do this and I post !
the result is this with variationsâŠ

I like #1, but I think the white lines should be thicker (I think 180%-200%), otherwise they are barely visible when scaled downâŠ
Thanks! 
#1 in 32px and 48px:
Hmm, looks like âpoint and shootâ !
like this ?
Itâs true that the original logo is so ingrained in the spirit, that itâs hard to imagine another one ! 
yes 
thatâs not necessarily bad though
Itâs not that I dislike the current logo, but I grabbed it directly from wikipedia, so itâa bit generic⊠This one is definitely more customized, and looks nice to me.
Opinions?

Here is a version in which the green stripe in the center is filled in. It looks better visually to me.
This post could be an opportunity for everyone to propose different logos in order to have a larger choice! (but itâs true that the spinning top, even if itâs a generic logo, is very nice !!!)
