Nice !

Would you share the Context Free code used to draw it ?

I think you got it the wrong way Mats. This is a logo and not an icon. It is icons that should communicate clearly what the product does, not the logo. The logo may do so if it wants to, but I would say you’re a lot more free when designing a logo than you are when designing an icon.

And the issue with it not scaling down very well I think is up to the project to decide, and as Tim pointed out, it’s a logo for a library and not really something that is needed per se, so I doubt it will have to be printed in small size on e.g. letter heads et.c.

I think it looks cool!

Ah. It looks very detailed to become an icon, though / doesn’t scale that well. And a logo should communicate what the product does, I believe. I appreciate how hard that is, though.

Nevertheless, I think a seed with “complex” stuff inside is a good metaphor for what seed does – a ‘shell’ around the libraries/code, making them easier to interact with and use…

Or, a shell with a(nother) tiny circle(seed) in it – that doubles as the (gobject-)introspection bit/eye…

I don’t know… Just my thoughts..

Luckily for us, libraries don’t need logos, so we can keep our complete-crack logo in relative privacy!

See you at UDS!

It is too complicated for a logo, doesn’t look beautiful and using a drawing tool like that is a very cheap way to find a logo It also looks more like a Turkish “sarık” than a seed (http://www.geocities.com/gokbar/nasrettin.jpg or http://www.enfal.de/pad1.jpg).
