# exploring branding for devtools ###### tags: `devtools` Reasoning: * easy use in techical presentations * make the association with ansible familly more obvious * avoid cluttering documents with too vivid/complex/detailed logos. We can still use complex ones, but not on "every slide", as they can be distracting. * have a set of logos that render well at very small size (icons) ## Picking background * Grey background was ruled out as it provides bad contrast while/dark screen modes. ### Option A That is basically re-using the branding of [redhat vscode extesions](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/publishers/redhat). ![](https://sbarnea.com/ss/ansible-devtools-red.svg =64x64) ### Option B ![](https://sbarnea.com/ss/ansible-devtools-cyan.svg =64x64) ### Option C ![](https://sbarnea.com/ss/ansible-devtools-lightred.svg =64x64) ## Picking icons Some products already have their own logos like runner and molecule, we will likely avoid changing them, at least for start. * runner: a person running * navigator: a ship/boat * devtools: tools like hammer, ruller, pen * molecule: a simple molecule * linter: a real linter or duster * language-server: something related to languaghe/speacking/words ## Feedback If you support one of the proposal record your name below: - A: ssbarnea - B: - C: ## Whiteboard ![](https://sbarnea.com/ss/ansible-devtools-m-concept.svg =64x64) -- bit inspired by BMW M tunnig :p
