| 13:36 | <littledan> | I think it'd be more apparent if the lines were shorter? Like making a cone-ish shape instead of overlapping semicircles |
| 13:36 | <littledan> | yeah I'll try to make sure it doesn't look like a fingerprint |
| 13:36 | <ryzokuken> | sorry for being too vague |
| 13:36 | <littledan> | np all feedback is good; I'm meeting with the designer this afternoon anyway |
| 13:36 | <ryzokuken> | I will give a visual example of what I mean |
| 13:57 | <littledan> | well, how would that be integrated with the rest of the logo? also what problem are you trying to solve? |
| 14:18 | <ryzokuken> | basically the surrounding lines that are supposed to look like a radio signal don't look like one IMO |
| 14:19 | <ryzokuken> | and nullvoxpopuli mistook the entire thing for a fingerprint because of that |
| 14:19 | <ryzokuken> | I just proposed that changing the width of the lines like this would make it more... signal-y |
| 14:19 | <littledan> | well, there's a particular resemblance to the Apple fingerprint logo (which I guess isn't used so much anymore now that we have faceID) |
| 14:20 | <littledan> | but I kinda like the rings visually; I'm not sure how to integrate the radio cone |
| 14:20 | <ryzokuken> | I like the rings visually too |
| 14:20 | <ryzokuken> | I'm just proposing reducing the length (angle?) of the arc |
| 14:21 | <ryzokuken> | so that it's a tad more conical and people find it easier to see that they're resembling a radio signal |
| 14:21 | <nicolo-ribaudo> | Probably tracking how different users interact in different ways with a page, causing signal computation to flow more towards one possibility or another, is a potential fingerprinting vector :) /s |
| 14:21 | <littledan> | also there's a common radio tower image with rings in different directions (some of the earlier drafts included more of a tower; in this one the traffic light is trying to be the radio tower kinda |
| 14:22 | <ryzokuken> | like in this image |
| 14:22 | <ryzokuken> | just because the arcs are more or less shaped into a cone I think it's easier to see that it's a signal |
| 14:23 | <littledan> | oh I see... |
| 14:25 | <littledan> | I guess the rings could be made incrementally more cone-shaped without upsetting the whole design overall, right? |
| 14:25 | <littledan> | by sort of trimming the outer ones a little |
| 14:25 | <ryzokuken> | absolutely |
| 14:25 | <ryzokuken> | everything would remain pretty much exactly where it is |
| 14:26 | <ryzokuken> | but you'd shorten the angle of the signal arcs |
| 14:26 | <littledan> | right |
| 14:26 | <ryzokuken> | so I guess you'd be left with a bit of whitespace on the sides |
| 14:26 | <littledan> | even just a little bit (e.g., if it's a 120 degree arc, but cut off consistently at all levels) it might be OK |
| 14:26 | <ryzokuken> | actually yes |
| 14:27 | <ryzokuken> | if you made them all the same angle it could work even just like that |
