Logo

[eldruin]

I think a logo for this community would be nice.
With my extremely limited GIMP fu I came up with this:

Although I do not know if we should use the EWG logo here as well or it would be confusing for users. We can also ask for the EWG approval once we have decided on a logo.
I thought of something like the Rust-lang org logo vs Rust-lang-nursery logo, but this is not a nursery.
Anyway please feel free to send other proposals!

Licensing:
This logo proposal is based on the Rust Embedded Working Group logo which was designed by Erin Power and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License and is itself based on the Rust Language logo.
See here for further licensing information.

EDIT (@jamesmunns): Corrected Erin's name

I like it

@Disasm, @jamesmunns opinions?

[jamesmunns]

Looks good to me! Probably need to include the license from the main logo, which I think is cc by sa?

[eldruin]

Good point. If we choose this logo, I will make a proper PR including the license notice from here.

[Disasm]

Wow, this looks great!

Given that the logo contains the Rust logo, which is a trademark of Mozilla, we would need to take this to the Rust core team, as the EWG did.
However, we are not an official team, so maybe a logo based on ferris is preferrable.
Here a couple of alternatives (but keep in mind that it will usually be rendered much smaller):

What do you think?

[thejpster]

We should ask about the logo. My recollection of the EWG conversation was that the response was "of course, that's exactly what the logo is for". Ferris is a good fallback but it's not my first choice.

I tried to reach @pietroalbini about the proper procedure to run this by the Rust core team but no response so far.

Uh, I didn't see any notification. Where did you ping me? Anyway, emailing trademark@rust-lang.org is the right approach.

[therealprof]

@pietroalbini The same way you've contacted me last time, via Element (nee Matrix). 😅

[pietroalbini]

@therealprof oh that's why, I don't actually monitor Element/Matrix much 😅

I just sent the email and will post here when I hear something back.
