YABS Banner/Logo Competition -- Calling All Graphic Gurus -- Prizes & Street Cred - Submit by 11 Jan

Mason · December 2020

I'm looking for a new logo/banner design to be face of the Yet Another Bench Script (YABS) project. I would like to swap out the xkcd comic currently on the repo page and instead replace it with a design created by someone in the community. Because I see YABS as a community-powered project, I'd also like to source the logo design from the community as well instead of heading to Fiverr or some other site.

Friendly Competition Details:

Submissions due by 1700 EST (2200 UTC), 11 January 2021
LES Poll will determine winner after all submissions gathered (community picks winner, basically)
Dimensions don't matter too much, it'll be scaled to not take up an obscene amount of space in the GitHub repo
Themes to consider: community-focused, open-source, disk/network/cpu performance, Linux, etc.
Multiple submissions are allowed

Prizes To Be Had:

Winner will be mailed some stickers that I have from various providers in the community
$20 sent to your LES provider of choice as account credit (or donated to charity of your choice)
Winner's design added to the YABS repo with attribution/link to personal webpage
Mad street cred and bragging rights
$50 Nexus Bytes credit courtesy of @seriesn

Post your submissions in this thread in the next 2 weeks (by 11 Jan) to be included in the winner selection poll. Let me know any questions/concerns that you have.

Cheers!,
-Mason

Might submit some more since this is more of a mockup, not a real "logo". Gotta see if I find the time though

I like this one, would fit in the script header too.

We are not going to beat the alliterative awesomeness of "Because dee dee ha didts day."

Of course, no matter how poetic, a phrase still might not be a logo. "A phrase does not a logo make."

Moreover, it's probably an issue that a few | some | many people might not know about dd.

Here's a terrible visual logo idea: a gorgeous, potted Yabsemum blooming next to the tombstone of dd.

Well, maybe a Yabs logo somehow could be based on a Yabsemum?

I want to see what @vyas proposes!

This one looks good. I think it needs more contrast though.

NoComment · December 2020

I'm no artist but I looked through the ascii generators and thought these looked the best.

I prefer the lowercase but it takes a few extra lines which might be too much.

Hi,

This is YABS logo I designed:

For ASCII you could use this:

                  ___                         ___     
                 /\  \         _____         /\__\    
      ___       /::\  \       /::\  \       /:/ _/_   
     /|  |     /:/\:\  \     /:/\:\  \     /:/ /\  \  
    |:|  |    /:/ /::\  \   /:/ /::\__\   /:/ /::\  \ 
    |:|  |   /:/_/:/\:\__\ /:/_/:/\:|__| /:/_/:/\:\__\
  __|:|__|   \:\/:/  \/__/ \:\/:/ /:/  / \:\/:/ /:/  /
 /::::\  \    \::/__/       \::/_/:/  /   \::/ /:/  / 
 ~~~~\:\  \    \:\  \        \:\/:/  /     \/_/:/  /  
      \:\__\    \:\__\        \::/  /        /:/  /   
       \/__/     \/__/         \/__/         \/__/

Or this:

                  ___                         ___     
      ___        /  /\         _____         /  /\    
     /__/|      /  /::\       /  /::\       /  /:/_   
    |  |:|     /  /:/\:\     /  /:/\:\     /  /:/ /\  
    |  |:|    /  /:/~/::\   /  /:/~/::\   /  /:/ /::\ 
  __|__|:|   /__/:/ /:/\:\ /__/:/ /:/\:| /__/:/ /:/\:\
 /__/::::\   \  \:\/:/__\/ \  \:\/:/~/:/ \  \:\/:/~/:/
    ~\~~\:\   \  \::/       \  \::/ /:/   \  \::/ /:/ 
      \  \:\   \  \:\        \  \:\/:/     \__\/ /:/  
       \__\/    \  \:\        \  \::/        /__/:/   
                 \__\/         \__\/         \__\/

Too much contrast.

Mason · December 2020

Keep in mind y'all, this is for the logo/graphic on the github page, not necessarily for a header in the script output itself

Adding anything to the script output might be worth a separate discussion.

We'll see. I'd like to keep the script output pretty streamlined/minimal. Won't be changing the font/color of the text in the output, for instance. But if the ascii is small enough (not an obscene number of lines) then I may consider it
