Hey everyone, we're setting up a "designer" user group on the forum. User groups represent a core area of contribution. So if you're interested in doing design work on Decred, you can post here and we'll get you into that group. It's an identifier for other designers to see you're also contributing in that area so that potential collaboration on projects can develop and occur. Note: It doesn't mean you can't contribute in other areas! It's just a marker for your skill set, if you choose to make that known to others. You can also change into different user groups as you please, so it's not a static identifier.
You can count me in on the Designer group. Hopefully everyone has enjoyed some of my previous designs and I can't wait to help contribute in the future!
good idea, I'd be happy to help out also. I own and operate a small screen print shop do graphic design as well as supply other promotional products. Maybe some of my resources and skills could be of use. Do you have any projects in mind for the group at this point?
Hey regsanman, thanks for stopping by. I'll add you to the group now. There isn't a definitive plan for designers just yet, aside from messing with the source files and seeing what looks better. There's complete creative freedom to see where we can improve the design. If the community likes it, it's adopted. The source files for the logo are here. In the future, we'll put our skills together and tackle specific projects - the main focus at present is getting the code public and released. It'd be good to get to know everyone's interest so we can create user groups for people to connect, such as developers, designers, advocates, miners, enthusiasts, etc.
I would like to help out. Just got a new job so my availability's been sliced in half, but once a logo comes out I'd like to see if I could make a short teaser ad for YouTube or something. I'm not promising anything though, just me thinking out loud. I'll try to start working on something simpler tommorow too, just in case that doesn't happen.
I'm happy to be part of the designer group with some Decred logo modification and other thought ideas. I have so far modified the Decred favicon with a color fade idea set into it. Here it is: I thought about the color fade idea, from how the colors fade together on the decred.org main page
I worked on something today, and I'll try and make it more intricate throughout the week. I have some photos here, and I'll post the video when it's done rendering. https://forum.decred.org/threads/3d-animated-logo.176/
Ha! Just noticed this right after I sent that PM. I'd love to be added to this user group, my art is cartoony (my icon) and I love doing simplistic, cleanish painterly stuff with my Wacom.
I finally got home and was able to upload the video if anyone wanted to see it. I added a link to my original post.
I might create something. Can I use some of the logo images from the site? Is there a vector, or nice transparent png?
Here's the thread for basic logo resources, and there are some vectors: https://forum.decred.org/threads/logo-source-files.127/
