[GenABEL-dev] layout of GenABEL main page

Tue Jul 2 16:27:48 CEST 2013

Just to add my two cents to the discussion,

I think that the problem is not with the DNA helix but with the font. I've played around a bit with it and if you use for example Helvetica or something less comic-sans-like it does look better. Also for some reason I'm still disturbed by the green but it is a very personal opinion..

Dear All,

I agree with critique of Maarten, and I actually still not sure if I like Maarten's or Grant's idea better. Interesting thing is that - not sure all realize it - Grant's variant is his vision of Maarten's prototype :) However, Grant's variant has an important advantage - it is ready to serve as logo. And I actually want to use a logo in my slides for UseR!-2013.

So I suggest we take Grant's logo as a working variant. No doubt that the logo is going to evolve with time - as anything we do in the project - code, documentation; logo is no different, I think. The element which is going to stay and keep it recognizable is the way of spelling the GenABEL :) - Like Gnu's horns in the GNU logo.

What we can do next is to place an open call on site/forum for other users to contribute, but this is going to take time, and meanwhile I suggest to stick with Grant's variant.

Dear all,

It looks really nice ! Credits for who made it.  However, I have more the impression that it looks like a polypeptide chain or a rosary. The seventies font is a matter of taste, but it remind me of comic sans(including a upside down e as a). I wonder if it readable if you print it on a poster: I think this is a important use-case of a scientific logo.

Kind regards,

Maarten

How do you like this one?
I like it a lot.

What do you think about reducing the font size for the subtitle
and right-justifying it? Would it still be readable? I liked that
detail from the previous attempts with the "Project" subtitle.

In any case, this is just a minor detail. It looks great as it is.

Thanks to Grant Borodin!

Dear Nicola, Diego, Lennart,

Thanks for your feedback! I will ask Grant Borodin, who kindly designed these logos, if he could change C according to your comment (capital "ABEL" and "statistical genomics" as in F).

Congrats to whoever designed these logos, they look very nice :)

With respect to my preferences, I fully agree with Lennart: "C with capital ABEL and statistical genomics below it" would be my choice.

Best,

Diego

Wow! Those look really nice!
I like options C and F the most. Actually a combination would be even
better IMHO: use C with capital ABEL and statistical genomics below it.
Looking forward to head the opinion of others,
Lennart.
