Re: Additional Logo Idea for the RIng

I have to say, I really like the way the Viva Magenta and the Gray (of the "rtanis") play-off-of/contrast each other. That's a really nice pairing.

Regarding the color placement, it might make sense to have the bottom-most (vertical) line of the lambda to be the same color as the upside-down V portion; since the vertical line was added to emphasis that A in the lambda, making it a different color seems to suggest that it's not related to the upside-down V.

At first, I was going to change the vertical line from the magenta but, then, I thought it might be better if we made the more prominent color the "A", instead; that'll highlight/emphasize it within the lambda and would draw the viewer to the letter, first and foremost (emphasizing that the logo says "Artanis"), and place the symbolic elements in the background, for the brain to parse afterwards.

I tried mocking up what that'd look like, for each. I also combined the elements of the "A" and placed the top of the lambda such that we can't see white lines in the there, anymore (from where the different elements are split). I also centered the lambda between the parentheses a tad more.

Finally, threw it into the usual logo image, so we can see how it looks.

As a developer, I don't think I should do the designers work. Let's
simply use Pantone color of 2023.
https://www.pantone.com/color-of-the-year/2023

So we don't have to explain the reason behind the color.
Attached are two modified logos.

I think the localization workload is related to the scale of the
community, or the support from company.

Yuque and Antfin are companies, they spend money to let employees do these works as KPI.
If our community has more people, I believe there're contributors do the
localization work.

Best regards.
