Hi, I've been working recently on the "branding" of Emacs. The final goal is to improve the first experience newcomers have with Emacs, from the website to the startup screen, and the image people have of Emacs. As a first step, I'm working on dusting off our logo, improving the current website, and designing a proper website for GNU ELPA. You will find attached a proposal for a new iteration of the Emacs logo. Here's a summary of what I did: - flattened a bit the circle - changed the gradient of the logo to warmer shades of purple - changed the orientation if the E, to look more dynamic (looking up instead of down) - added a dark stroke around the logo Because it's important to see a logo in a context, I'm also attaching an image (emacs-logo-context.png), which is a composition of: - the current logo in GNOME - the new logo in GNOME - the new logo in OSX - the new logo in Windows 10 as well as emacs-logo-gnome.png, which shows the new logo in the GNOME task switcher. I'm also attaching the current logo for reference, as well as a variant of the new one with the original pen (which I do not like as much as without it). Cheers, Nico
