SAML Authentication - create a logo

Created on 20 October 2023, over 1 year ago

I came here from the announcement on Slack:

Do you need a shiny new logo for your module?
The Project Browser team has designers ready to help.

SAML Authentication โ†’ is only #573 in the module list, currently 8700 users, but it's growing steadily.

The significant reason IMHO to think about its logo now, is its relationship to External Authentication ( ๐Ÿ“Œ External Authentication - create a logo Needs work ):

  • I view SAML Authentication as a sort of 'child/member of the group of External Authentication modules'. (Basically External Authentication is the parent / a dependency for all of those modules). So it would make sense to have similar logos / to create variations of the External Authentication logo for modules like these.
  • OpenID Connect / OAuth client is also such a 'child' module, by the way. The difference is that the OpenID Connect protocol itself has a logo already. ๐Ÿ“Œ OpenID Connect / OAuth client project - Update logo Fixed SAML doesn't seem to.

    Thanks, @Aditi Saraf,
    Could you explain the rationale behind some of these?
    Are the symbols used related to the SAML project?
    I've looked for an official SAML project logo, but as far as I can tell, there isn't one. A couple have been proposed, but don't seem to have been adopted.
    If any of these are related to the project, they could be beneficial, but if they are not, or are proposed logos that weren't adopted, it could cause confusion.

    No worries, @Aditi Saraf.

    We've all had our first contributions, and it's a learning process for everyone. Here's a suggestion: please take a moment to thoroughly read the issue summary before starting your work. I noticed that a couple of the logos you created exceed the required file size limit (should be under 10K). Additionally, when designing logos, it's a good practice to begin by searching for existing logos, and if none are available, search for relevant symbols and elements. Try to avoid incorporating text in logos whenever possible, as it often makes the design more versatile and timeless.

    Moving the issue back to Needs work.

    SAML is an XML based security protocol, so my thought is a secure site symbol in a set of XML brackets, something like the following:

    <๐Ÿ”’/>

    Anyone like to give it a try?

    I can give it a try.

    I like "saml-authentication-logo-2.png" from #11 Looks clean!

    I agree - let's go with that one

  • ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชIreland lostcarpark

    Agreed. Great work, @urvashi_vora.
    Thanks for your work, @roshni27, but your suggestions feel a little overcomplicated.

    It looks like the proposed resolution (in issue summary) is this one:

    https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2023-10-31/saml-authentication-logo-... โ†’

    But it looks weird to my eye that the lock has square edges while the angle brackets are rounded. I would go with either square edges everywhere, or rounded edges everywhere.

    Is there an SVG of this proposal?

    I'm going to take this one and see if one of my interns can help today.

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธUnited States Kristen Pol Santa Cruz, CA, USA

    Hiding the other logos to avoid confusion.

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธUnited States AaronDeutsch California

    I made some tweaks here with two options, one with and without the rounded corners. Let me know if this needs further revision, thank you!

    Thanks! I don't have a strong opinion on which one. Marking for review for more eyes :)

  • ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชIreland lostcarpark

    I definitely prefer the rounded version to the sharp version. I'm not clear on what's changed between @urvashi_vora's logo and @AaronDeutsch's version. I can see some square corners on the lock have been rounded off. Anything else?

    #16 said:

    I would go with either square edges everywhere, or rounded edges everywhere.

    so that's the changes :)

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธUnited States Kristen Pol Santa Cruz, CA, USA

    Updating the summary with both options.

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธUnited States AaronDeutsch California

    I added a little bit of roundness to the top of the lock and keyhole to make it feel more cohesive, and also yes I rounded the body of the lock as well.

  • ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชIreland lostcarpark

    Oh yes, I'd forgotten that comment. +1 for option 1, the rounded version.

  • Status changed to RTBC 9 months ago
  • ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ชBelgium BramDriesen Belgium ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช

    Looks good to me :-) I also prefer the rounded version

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธUnited States Kristen Pol Santa Cruz, CA, USA

    Thanks, everyone! I'm updating the summary to only show the rounded one, and hiding the other file.

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธUnited States Kristen Pol Santa Cruz, CA, USA

    I don't see this in the top 100 list so I assume it should be moved to the project's issue queue:

    Thank you. Took a while, but now added to samlauth module.

  • Automatically closed - issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธUnited States Kristen Pol Santa Cruz, CA, USA

    @roderick could you give the logo creators and contributors issue credit by creating a new comment and checking their checkboxes in the credit and committing section and saving the comment? You can credit people this way including yourself and itโ€™ll show up on their profile page. Thanks

  • ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ชBelgium BramDriesen Belgium ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช

    This is the project_browser issue queue though. So a maintainer here should do that.

    Only place where @roderik can do this is in the module he maintains, this issue I guess: https://www.drupal.org/project/samlauth/issues/3413865 ๐Ÿ“Œ Add logo Needs work

  • ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑNetherlands roderik Amsterdam,NL / Budapest,HU

    Thanks for the reminder. I guess I should have not closed this stale issue myself, because of the missing credit that I can't assign.

    In principle it seems better to assign here -- ๐Ÿ“Œ Add logo Needs work was just a throwaway reminder issue (without credit) to add the SVG file. But since I don't really know the maintainer situation here and I don't want to cause more indirect communication... I added the credit in there.

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธUnited States Kristen Pol Santa Cruz, CA, USA

    Thanks! Iโ€™m realizing that this issue probably shouldโ€™ve been moved to the other queue but your workaround is good ๐Ÿ‘
