Project Browser: Create a logo for Feeds Tamper

Created on 5 July 2024, 2 months ago
Updated 21 August 2024, 18 days ago

Problem/Motivation

The Project Browser Initiative wants nice project logos for better UX. The logo will be displayed on the card for your module in the Project Browser (as well as on drupalcode.org as your project avatar, and on drupal.org on your project page).

The Feeds Tamper module β†’ needs a logo for this objective.

Proposed resolution

  • Create a logo that is 512x512 square dimension in PNG format without animations.
  • The file size should be 10k or less.
  • Use a lossy image tool (such as pngquant) to reduce the file size while keeping the image quality at around 80%.

MAINTAINERS: Once a logo is reviewed and approved, it should be added to the root folder of your project's repo, and be named logo.png. This must be present on your project’s default branch. If you have a logo as the first image in the Images field on your project page, please remove it. The logo will be displayed on the cards in the Project Browser grid and list views.

    I think it would be cool if the logo was a combination of the Feeds monster and the proposed Tamper logo.

    This is the proposed Tamper logo from πŸ“Œ Project Browser: Create logo for Tamper Needs review :

    For Feeds, we could stick with something close like the current monster:

    Or something like this:

    πŸ“Œ Project Browser: Create a logo for Feeds Needs review

    This was my first try for Feeds Tamper:

    But I'm not sure about that one, makes the Feeds monster look like a junkie. I just sketched it to see of how it would look like.

    An other idea I had in my mind, but I haven't sketched that one yet, is one with the Feeds monster from the front, and trying to put the whole funnel (from the Tamper logo) in his mouth.

  • It was quite interesting to work on. But quite a task of making it fit within the 10kb size. This is the least that I was able to reduce the file size, slightly bigger than the specified one.
    Pls have a look though!

    Oh wow! That looks great! Well done! I like it that you used only two base colors in it, makes it calm color wise.

    Feedback:

    • Maybe it's me, but it looks like that the right shoulder of the monster is a bit off.
    • Feeds Tamper mostly does text conversions, like "find and replace", concatenating strings and converting dates from one format to another. The logo suggests that it transforms certain types of files, so that doesn't quite fit with its functionality. Instead you could perhaps go for the abstract idea of transforming like in the Tamper logo: changing an object's shape and color. Or you could try to visualize a bit more that Feeds Tamper mostly does text based transformations.

    Maybe you want to try something like that for Feeds itself as well? So that we've a similar looking monster for that one. Having it in a bit different pose for Feeds would be a plus - so that it differentiates from the Feeds Tamper logo better.

  • Hi @megachriz, Thanks for your feedback.
    Yes I didn't want to make the bear too much poppy with a riot of colours, yet vibrant enough to be noticeable. Also it helped me reduce the file size extensively, as I was letting go of unnecessary colour gamets!
    Not sure about the right shoulder, but ya made some little adjustments now, hope it looks better than the previous one.
    And thanks for enlightening me about the supported file types here, I haven't used the module yet, just went off by the synopsis and thought about all sorts of file types.
    Now I've just removed the file type demarcation to make it more generalized and abstract.

    Also, Yes I'm working on a slightly different variation of the bear for the Feeds module. I'll keep that posted on that issue thread. Along with that as I'm getting a sense that the module is a combination of Feeds and Tamper module, so I'll also be addressing the Tamper module logo, so as to make all three of them more coherent!

    Thanks for the quick update!

    Along with that as I'm getting a sense that the module is a combination of Feeds and Tamper module, so I'll also be addressing the Tamper module logo, so as to make all three of them more coherent!

    I give a quick summary of the three modules:

    • Feeds is the module for importing content on your Drupal site (nodes, users, taxonomy terms and other content entity types). The data can come from various locations and be of various formats. Out of the box, data can come from an url, file or directory. Supported formats are (among others) RSS and CSV. Other modules, like Feeds Extensible Parsers, add more supported data formats, like JSON and XML.
    • Tamper is the module for transforming data (for example find and replace text). It doesn't provide an UI of its own.
    • Feeds Tamper is like a bridge between Feeds and Tamper: it provides an user interface for configuring Tamper plugins and makes sure that these plugins can be used for Feeds.

    Note that the modules Feeds and Tamper are their own projects. They don't depend on eachother. They are only connected by the Feeds Tamper module. So with that said, the Tamper module should not get the Feeds monster in its logo.

  • Thanks @megachriz for the brief overview of theses. Its good to see that what I've thought about is aligning with what you've just described.
    Yes, the Tamper module logo won't be having the monster in it, you can be assured about that.
    Any feedback on the logo that I've provided last, else I think we can move the issue forward to RTBC++
