Textpattern Support Forum

To give a potential logo idea, I looked at the current logo. It’s really busy and complicated, in my opinion.

But I still looked at it. What is the man doing? Well, he’s carving out something in the stone.

Then it clicked. One of TXP’s defining features is the multiple translations available for it, and what better symbolizes translation than the Rosetta Stone? I don’t know if any fancy vector thing can be made of this stone (maybe with a “T” or something in it).

Emphasis mine. As Matthew and I congruently assumed in our pre-flight checkup, this would be no redesign but rather a refinement of what has been our ™ for years.

After having thouht about the new textpattern logo for qite a long time I must admit that reducing the current logo to hammer and chisel like they did on the cover of the Textpattern book seemed very attractive to me. So I wondered how to turn them into a logo and ended up crossing them like in the most prominent letter in Textpattern. I tried to modernize the logo without making it look too web 2.0-ish. I’m very curios about your feedback.

I like it too, particularly the large version with all the appreciable details on it.
It’s somehow connected with the communism symbol. That may tell something about the community, the open source… but I may be “over-interpreting” it.

What about creating the word “textpattern” as it if was written by using those tools?
