Soohan Park (Heartade) | In reply to @parfait:filly.chat used helvetica neue Can you use helvetica neue here? I'm not sure about the font license. | 18:32:32 |
Maxi | not sure, was just showing an example of what i meant with a font i had handy | 18:34:33 |
mirdaki | Inter might be a good open font to use | 18:52:17 |
imbev | i used one of the fonts included with the Inkscape flatpak, so there probably won't be a licensing issue | 18:59:49 |

Soohan Park (Heartade) | In reply to @imbev:matrix.org i used one of the fonts included with the Inkscape flatpak, so there probably won't be a licensing issue The matrix logo seems to be based on Helvetica as well, and I just found that GNU FreeSans is basically the GNU version of Helvetica so maybe we can all use that font | 13:12:09 |
imbev | the svg source is located at https://codeberg.org/imbev/Somix/src/branch/master/src/assets/somix.svg | 13:13:45 |
Soohan Park (Heartade) | I'd love if the logo looked like [s] like Matrix's [m] logo, mind if I try to doodle a version with GNU FreeSans and matrix-like square brackets? | 13:16:09 |
imbev | feel free | 13:16:55 |

Soohan Park (Heartade) | Not as pretty as I'd want it to be :P | 18:43:22 |
imbev | i like it | 18:50:15 |
imbev | what if you increased the size of the s and brackets? | 18:50:52 |

Soohan Park (Heartade) | Deviates a bit further from the original Matrix logo but looks better than the previous iteration to me | 19:24:57 |
Soohan Park (Heartade) | The font is Pretendard SemiBold available under Open Font License | 19:25:16 |
imbev | i'll test this version of the image soon | 19:28:15 |
Soohan Park (Heartade) | I think it still needs some tweaks, e.g. the foreground element should be smaller to avoid being cropped when the user installs it as PWA on phones with circular icons | 19:43:45 |
imbev | i agree | 19:45:37 |
imbev | are you saving it as svg? if so, can you make a git fork and a new commit | 19:45:39 |
Soohan Park (Heartade) | I'm working on Inkscape as SVG and I'll submit a PR when I think it's ready to go 👍 | 19:47:17 |

imbev | i tested this version of the logo, however it doesn't scale well for the favicon, and is distracting in a negative way | 17:11:28 |
imbev |  Download image.png | 17:11:32 |
imbev | after looking at matrix.org, i have another idea | 17:11:45 |
imbev | we could have 2 forms of the logo, a "wide" one that includes the entire name and brackets, and a square one that includes only an "S"
