External Authentication - create a logo

Hi,

I would like to suggest something.

Please review.

Thanks

My personal preference is for the one with the coloured background. Here's a preview:

However, I do feel the logo elements run just a little too close to the edge. If they could be shrunk just a little, I think it would look better. I don't think it needs much, just the outer border needs to be at least as thick as the box and the arrow.

Image dimensions and file size are perfect.

I agree with James, there needs to be a little more space between the image and the edge of the border. Width of the lines and arrow would be perfect.

Hello!
Added space to the current logo and there are also some other thoughts on this ticket. Please review.
Thank you

Hi @lostcarpark,

I have worked on the suggestion, please review.

Thanks

@Antonina, your logos are all nice, but I feel the lines are a little light, and I feel they just don't pop quite as much as @urvashi_vora's.

I think #8 looks fantastic. Just one minor issue. There's a dark green line running around the central box that wasn't present in #2. I think if that was tidied up it would be perfect.

Got it, just a min, I can fix it.

Hi @lostcarpark,

Please have a look.

I think #11 looks perfect.

Confirming image is 512x512 PNG, and file size is under 10K.

+1 for me.

Anyone else like to confirm?

+1 for @lostcarpark's recommendation. moving this to RTBC. Thanks to all who contributed logos here

FYI:

Created 📌 SAML Authentication - create a logo RTBC - the module is related to this, so maybe the logo should be related / other logos for modules that use/depend on External Authentication can (optionally) have a unified look.

A remark about the concept:

External Authentication → is a module to help (other modules to) log in users that exist on some external system, to authenticate with/log into a Drupal site.

Assigned credit and marked as fixed.

Hello,

I was made aware of this logo creation through the issue 📌 Update logo for compatibility with Project Browser Active .
First of all, thanks everyone involved in creating the logo!
I really like the logo style.

I'm not sure it's appropriate to re-open the discussion here though, but as roderik points out above, conceptually it would make more sense if the arrow in the logo would be reversed, pointing inwards, since the module's purpose is to help external authentication systems authenticate users into Drupal.

But even with non-existing design skills I can see it's not as easy as just flipping the arrow around, so I'm OK with using the logo as is, unless the community doesn't mind another iteration. I don't want to sound like a crappy "make the logo bigger" client though :)

PS: i'm not sure how structured the logo design initiative is, but it would be good to make module maintainers aware of the existence of the logo issue earlier on in the process, so feedback like this could be added in a more timely matter.
