SHM Stickers

https://github.com/SHMakerspace/Branding/blob/master/output/sticker.png.
Looked at this example which I would just use if it wasnt for the fact the URL goes to the old wiki.
I quite like the URL Font if anyone knows what it is?

Tried looking for just the logo, found this https://github.com/SHMakerspace/Branding/blob/master/Logo/logo.svg
Different font?

Logo.psd works fine.

Planning on getting some stickers. Looking at using @sarahlouise suggestion of Instantprint

I’m looking at their 37mm or 45mm circular stickers, currently 750 of them will cost £15 which I’m happy to do.

Any suggestions welcome.

@AndrewPatience this Branding/logo.svg at master · SHMakerspace/Branding · GitHub is probably showing the wrong font your end because the fonts used are not installed on your system. You would need to install:

You can google how to install truetype fonts for the OS of your choice.

This would be @takumo :slight_smile:

Hi guys, I’m looking for the logo in the github repository, I can spot what I think is an older version in branding, is there a current one I haven’t spotted ?

5

https://github.com/SHMakerspace/Branding/tree/master/output might be where you want to look?

6

Thanks Chris but those are all png’s not editable or scalable I need a version to submit to the press office at Innovate Guildford but it really needs a strap line added

@stochastic_forest I belive this is what you are after for editing. https://github.com/SHMakerspace/Branding/blob/master/Logo/Logo.psd

I’ve installed all the github fonts now work well, now just need to figure out which one is the correct one to use or does is not matter.

8

Thanks @AndrewPatience , does that work for those that don’t have windows or own a copy of photoshop ?

I tried an inkscape plugin but it didn’t seem able to import it.

9

Andrew have you had any luck in opening that .psd file? I can’t seem to edit it, in GIMP or Inkscape. I’ve put a Github issue here :slight_smile:

The latest stuff is all in Inkscape. The original design was a PSD, but I converted it to SVG. The fonts are all in the repository, so small variations should be trivial to achieve.

11

Thanks @Cylindric , would you give me a pointer to the latest stuff ?

12

It’s the file “logo.svg” in the Logo folder in the branding repo.

13

That doesn’t have the right fonts on though does it ?

14

The downloaded file looks fine in inkscape :slight_smile:
As I had the fonts installed, this is a github, what you see isn’t what you get thing ?

15

Could someone add this logo which includes a strapline to the logo section of the repository for me as I don’t think I have access rights , many thanks :slight_smile:

16

Done!

17

@Jagmills thank you for that :slight_smile:

Having another look at our logo and discovered that the gears behind the logo, in Logo.psd are in different places than other versions. (or is it just me)?

Had a look at coming up with some other designs but I think the original simple design is still best.

I like the text around the edge! I think my favourite is the top right one, which looks less ‘busy’ to me.
I also like the plain purple border too.

Some thoughts:

  • Maybe making the text grey would make the overall thing look less busy, but still has the tag line?
  • I like the addition of the glyphs - I would though. Wonder if there’s a way to include them but keep it all less busy still.
  • Do we want to add a QR code? As @Cylindric put it, “does anyone even use those any more?”
