I’d like to share a logo draft for fmsoup with you, that I came up with today while playing around. The logo obviously represents a bowl of streaming soup, using the letters C and a Tilde to represent the Coding in FileMaker (although this combination doesn’t make too much sense in FM scripts).
The used font is called “steelfish” and it’s licence allows it to be used in logos, even for commercial uses, see here: Steelfish Schriftart | dafont.com
If you and the community like it I’d be happy to provide it to you for free.
Omg. I like it very much! The font is great. Let’s dig a bit more the soup : it’s really nice already. Maybe we can come up with something that “makes more sense” for fm scripts as you put it.
Do you want to continue working on it or would you like to present it to the community and get their feedback?
I don’t know, if I can come up with sth. that makes more sense in Filemaker. I think we have to decide wether it will represent a soup or wether it’s real code. In my opinion the C~ is a good compromise (The Tilde is used in let Statements oftentimes, normally like “~Variable”). But maybe someone else has a better idea…?!
I’d be happy if you would represent it to the Community.
I’d really like to keep a bowl It might not be so important to make sense with fm scripts. I also always imagined a blue cat in the mix ! Don’t ask why; I think it is a remnant from the brainstorming for the name when I pictured a blue cat playing the organ.
OK, here’s another attempt. It combines a soup, some “meaningful” code and a smirking face. Although I like the first logo better. You decide…![Logo%20fmsoup%20v3|690x239]
The only threat I see is the similarity to the Commodore Logo.
Looks great! I’m going to defy convention and go with the first iteration of the Logo as my favourite (the one with the tilda fully enclosed by the square).
And personally I like the first tilde option better, although no strong view. We’re split here, Val prefers the second, particularly as the steam is escaping, but all I can see is a nose!
