LinkFree Logo

[rohan-kulkarni-25]

• We will be needing a logo for our linkfree project
• You can attach logo in form of png in comments.
• Try to make the logo unique, attractive and relatable to project.
• You can use canva to make logo ( Please don't copy from somewhere )

[ShlokMohanty]

is it a graphic designing part? @rohan-kulkarni-25

[Akshu-on-github]

Here are a few minimalist icons to draw inspiration from, though the first two may directly be used as the project trademark. Anti-clockwise, from the bottom:

• css.gg

  • Author: Astrit
  • MIT Licence (can use as Trademark)

• Clarity

  • Author: VMware
  • License: MIT (can use as Trademark)

• IconPark

  • Author: ByteDance
  • License: Apache 2.0 (can't use as Trademark)

[ShlokMohanty]

@Akshu-on-github this a great idea we can think of more icons but yeah these ones are not bad

[NS007-dev]

As perhaps an idea, shouldn't the icon follow the EddieHub color theme if the logo is in color, if it is in black and white, then it doesn't matter?

Here is the theme:

Thanks.

[AbhijithGanesh]

Points noted, closing the other Issue.

[SaraJaoude]

@CodingSpecies I think having the logo following the EddieHub colour theme is a great idea! Good to keep everything consistent

[eddiejaoude]

Great ideas and discussions 💥

[veerbal1]

Any UI designer is here, who can contribute to create a logo, so that we can start implementing it..

[Akshu-on-github]

Maybe we should share this discussion under #help and/or #ui on discord?

[StarTrooper08]

Can I try some design for Logo

[Akshu-on-github]

Of course @StarTrooper08!

[StarTrooper08]

Hello everyone I'll collaborating with @sakshipawar001 for designing Logo for LinkFree.

[sakshipawar001]

I'm glad to collaborate with you. Creating a logo by combining coding and designing will be a great fun experience !

[StarTrooper08]

@sakshipawar001 is designing Digital Art and UI/UX from about 2-3 years .

Few of the designs by @sakshipawar001

[sakshipawar001]

Hello everyone. Thanks @StarTrooper08 for addressing my work ! Though I don't have much experience of UI UX designing but I have been creating digital artworks since a long time. I hope I can contribute something to the open source community for creating this logo.

[StarTrooper08]

Welcome.
If you have any idea regarding making logo for LinkFree . Go ahead and share it here in discussion.

[gptkrsh]

how about reaching out to the opensourcedesign community?

[Akshu-on-github]

Ooh, that sounds interesting 👀

[Yash621]

I have found this logo for linkfree ,can anyone review it ?

[Akshu-on-github]

Could you share the link to the source? We'll need to review the licence + give proper attribution

[Akshu-on-github]

But it looks pretty cool!

[NS007-dev]

It does seem to link with the EddieHub Colors and resembles the meaning of the project! Looks nice.

[eddiejaoude]

It is probably best we design our own to avoid an copyright issues or conflicts with someone else using it too

[GoodnessEzeh]

That's a good idea. Making a customized logo for the app speak volumes of how original the app is. In addition, I suggest the logo is designed such that it conveys meaning and the ideology of the app. We shouldn't just get a logo just for the sake of it.

[Yash621]

@CodingSpecies https://chipapk.com/app/6975620/ here is the source,it's something like linkfree only ,but I don't see any licences ,so I think we can use it .

[NS007-dev]

Is this logo not already being used on the app seen on the source? @Yash621

[eddiejaoude]

if no license we cannot use it

[Yash621]

actually it was there previous logo ,but now they have changed the color combination slightly and also I can't see any licences also , so what I was thinking is if we remove the small orange dot on the logo,we should not face any problem then.
this is their current logo :https://apps.apple.com/us/app/instabio-link-in-bio/id1455604586

[Akshu-on-github]

I see... I understand that it's no longer in use. However, it was once a part of the branding for another product so I believe that we might require permission

@eddiejaoude, may I ask your thoughts on this?

[Yash621]

@CodingSpecies any thoughts about this ?

[NS007-dev]

@Yash621 It is a nice logo, what we need to see:

• If we have permission.
• Also I think it has a white background to it, as it's not transparent. I think that might not look right.

[eddiejaoude]

it is best to create our own custom logo

@Yash621 thank you for the suggestion, please could you try to keep the same topic in a similar thread so that it is easier to follow rather than starting new threads each time

[TakshakRamteke]

Hey all 👋, I just made a few rough sketches for the logo designs, Also as please consider that these are just sketches so the illustrations will look considerably different from what you see here

[TakshakRamteke]

i think we should keep the icon in a little circle/square because if someone is using light mode (white theme) the white part of logo might not come through, what do you think ? thanks for the feedback tho will try to simplifying it 🙂

[SaraJaoude]

@TakshakRamteke I really like how you shared the journey from the sketching to the proposed logo idea

[eddiejaoude]

wow the journey is super interesting 💥

[EmmaDawsonDev]

It’s nice and bold, however for a logo it’s got too much detail at the moment. It’s given me an idea though, will be back when I’ve done a sketch…

[NS007-dev]

@emmalearnscode looking forward to see what you have got for this project too!

[sakshipawar001]

Hello. I took reference from the different logos on the internet and tried to create a unique logo design out of it. Here's the design made by me using Inkscape. Please do review it and give your suggestions. If you all like it, I'll move on to the color part. @rohan-kulkarni-25

[StarTrooper08]

I m excited to see this logo after adding colours to it👀✨

[NS007-dev]

Yes, this might be a very good logo.

[gptkrsh]

Yeah, but if we were named "LinkTree" since it resembles more of a tree. imho We should have a logo that could symbolise links and/or the polywork features

[StarTrooper08]

Designed by : {@sakshipawar001}

@CodingSpecies please review.

[NS007-dev]

This logo here made by @sakshipawar001 looks awesome too. I like the linking of the hands, and the rectangles, and the color schemes fit!

[Yash621]

@CodingSpecies I have made the background transparent and have also changed it's color ,now I don't think there will be any permissions issues . could you please review it ?

[NS007-dev]

Yes, @TakshakRamteke this favicon is already being used :

[Yash621]

then are we not going with it ? @CodingSpecies

[gptkrsh]

Yeah, we are not gonna go with some other company/app's logo

[NS007-dev]

then are we not going with it ? @CodingSpecies

@Yash621 we can't go with this as it is being used, unfortunately. I like the research you did to find it, and maybe we can use some parts to implement a new logo? Thank you.

[Yash621]

@CodingSpecies sure we can do this :)

[RiddhiDamani]

Hey all, here's a logo suggestion for LinkFree. Abiding by the color scheme of EddieHub Color Scheme. Feel free to share your reviews on this.

[TakshakRamteke]

Hey Riddhi, Just a little suggestion, maybe try using a lighter color for the black arc just so the transition between the two colors is a little bit smooth know what i mean ?

[EmmaDawsonDev]

Nice design. What’s the reasoning behind the serif on the black link? Can you explain a little of your thought process of how you got to this design?

[NS007-dev]

So far we have these ideas. There is a few, so I thought we could gather them up and see the ones we like the most, just react by the corresponding emojis for each logo:

ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ʟɪᴋᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʟᴏɢᴏ ᴀᴅᴅɪɴɢ, ᴘʟᴇᴀꜱᴇ ᴀᴅᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ɪᴍᴀɢᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴄʜᴀᴛ ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴅ. ᴛʜᴀɴᴋ ʏᴏᴜ.

[Akshu-on-github]

I think we should create a new poll

[NS007-dev]

@Akshu-on-github is the table design better?
I don't think we should make a new poll, as we have already had votes.

[Akshu-on-github]

@CodingSpecies - much better!

[gptkrsh]

I am waiting for others to say about this...

[NS007-dev]

@eddieHubcommunity/linkfree is there any logos you like? I think this discussion has being going on for a while, and I think we may need some answers.

• Once some designs are narrowed down, we can solely work on them, which would progress smoothly to having a final logo, which we can use for this project.
• At the top of this thread there is a poll, and the most popular logos are:

by @TakshakRamteke . Also:

also by @TakshakRamteke .

Thank you.

[EmmaDawsonDev]

I was inspired by @TakshakRamteke ‘s design but wanted to make it a bit more minimal. These are just a couple of quick sketches and the colours aren’t quite right (didn’t have the orange code when I was sketching) but maybe something to develop further.

[NS007-dev]

@emmalearnscode these are great designs evolving from @TakshakRamteke idea!
I prefer the white one, in my opinion!
I will add these now to the list of logos on the vote!
Thank you so much!

[NS007-dev]

@emmalearnscode the concept with @TakshakRamteke design is how they look as the the letters are in a link, like the name LinkFree. Maybe if you could incorporate that, but keep it minimal?
Overall, I like how you took it and simplified it!
Thanks for your collaboration! Let's see what others say!

[TakshakRamteke]

Great work @emmalearnscode, These look really great ✨
BTW which tool did you use (just curious to know)

[EmmaDawsonDev]

@TakshakRamteke I sketched it in procreate, it needs a bit of cleanup but I like procreate for quickly getting ideas sketched out.

[TakshakRamteke]

procreate on ipad right 🤤 ?, Now I'm really looking forward to your designs

[TakshakRamteke]

Hey Everyone 👋 , How's This one ?

P.S : Someone needs to help me with coloring these logos 🥲 ig i'm really bad at it

[TakshakRamteke]

mm... how's this one

[NS007-dev]

This looks awesome too, I can see the letters more. But, I would say that the size is a bit more bigger, making it more complex if it is to be used as a favicon @TakshakRamteke .

[NS007-dev]

I will add it to the poll

[TakshakRamteke]

@CodingSpecies Thank you also just for an idea This is How it'd look if we use these as favicon

32px

20px

[NS007-dev]

@TakshakRamteke it actually looks good! Let's see what others say!

[sakshipawar001]

Hello everyone. Inspired from @TakshakRamteke and @emmalearnscode , I have come up with another logo design using the initials 'L' and 'F'. Please do review it and give your suggestions on it.
There are two designs attached below. No difference except for the length of second horizontal stroke in letter 'F'.

.

[sakshipawar001]

Also I have thought of applying linear gradient for color instead of solid colors. If you all are ok with this, I'll share the completed logo for review.

[NS007-dev]

@sakshipawar001 this looks interesting. I would really like to see the end result! I think the gradient Color’s would really be cool as well.

[NS007-dev]

What colors are you planning to use @sakshipawar001 ?

[sakshipawar001]

@CodingSpecies Thank you ! I will soon share the complete logo with you. I have planned to use shades of blue and green.

[TakshakRamteke]

@sakshipawar001 Looks really great

[gptkrsh]

I've tried a few logos:

1:

2:

3:

4:

5:

[TakshakRamteke]

These one are looking awesome as well krish,
I personally like the 5th one more 🙂

[NS007-dev]

@krishguptadev I like 2, a lot, but I like how simple yet bold 3 is as well.
Perhaps we can work on the color, but lets see what others say!
Thank you.
I will add this to the poll.

[TakshakRamteke]

Hey everyone 👋, I made this new logo for a change (because honestly to me the LF one's were felling kinda generic),
also i've tried explained the idea behind this one a little so do let me know your thoughts on this one and also let me know if i should i explain the idea behind the other logos as well

The idea behind this one:

The inspiration for this one was something like a carbon atoms / fractals (which are beautiful as a one but when combined with multiple thing's (different or same) it becomes something even more beautiful)
Similar to that when a social media is combined with others (of the same person ofcourse xD) it increases the online presence of a indivial which makes them even more awesome.
which is what LinkFree is usefull for as it hepl's link all the social media link of a person together and Thus the LOGO

you can think of the centeral hexagon as LinkFree/ user which spreads out and link's to the other social media with those tiny extensions at the each corner of the hexagon

[GoodnessEzeh]

Nice logo with a nicer ideology. Thank you so much, Ramteke

[gptkrsh]

Looks good!

[NS007-dev]

This looks really cool @TakshakRamteke I will add it to the poll!
Thank you.

[NNANNAJUDE]

Good idea with wonderful representation.
Thumbs up!

[NS007-dev]

@EddieHubCommunity/linkfree I think now is a good time to finalise our logo, there is plenty to scroll through and take a look at. They are all innovative, practical and brilliant! See here for the poll: #206 (comment)

This discussion have been open for a long time, and I think we need some finalising!
Thank you!

[gptkrsh]

I like @emmalearnscode's suggestion

[NS007-dev]

I made some logos myself, and I will be making some more:


Feel free to comment and review.

Thank you.

[NS007-dev]

Is it possible if I collect everyone's ideas and logos and make a new discussion in the new polls discussion category? This should clean up and make it clear to everyone the ideas we have, and make it easier to find the perfect logo.

Thank you.

[loftwah]

I'm interested in contributing to this.

[schmelto]

I gave some thought to this topic and this is what I came up with.

I combined a link icon with two wings which I got from https://uxwing.com.
This is only a design idea.

Links:

• https://uxwing.com/hyperlink-icon/
• https://uxwing.com/wing-icon/

[loftwah]

I have access to this with Canva Pro right now.

Magic Studio Terms

Is there any reason I couldn't use this for a project?

[eddiejaoude]

I think the proposal is inspired by the icons already. I am not familiar with Canvas so not sure what that feature provides

Either way we would need a vector file for the final logo so it can scale well etc

[loftwah]

FTFY 🙇‍♂️

[eddiejaoude]

wow 😱 thank you!

[EslemOuederni]

I really love this 🔥 Great job !

[timDeHof]

it would be really cool if it shows to side in the social accounts of our github profile when we add our Linkfree profile like when you add your Linkedin public profile.

[loftwah]

I ended up doing this.

[NS007-dev]

@loftwah these designs are really good and look really modern and bold. I think to perhaps make it even better, the colour scheme should be matching the Eddie hub colours?
Thank you.

[loftwah]

Yep they can be changed to whatever anyone sees fit. I was feeling edgy that day I guess haha. #5A5F92

[loftwah]

That one inspired this :) I think this could be potentially used.

[loftwah]

I'm just posting these as I go I hope you don't mind.

[eddiejaoude]

Logo and colours are now done, so I will close discussion. Thank you everyone, you were awesome!
