That would have been my quick approach. The logo still stands for an "F" like FileMaker, but could also symbolize lines of code, a list view or apps in the OS. Personally, I like a reduced approach more. This took me about 30-40 minutes to do now. With more time you could surely come up with something better. However, I have to admit that I didn't check if there are similar logos already that could lead to copyright infringement. ![FileMaker Logo Redesign v1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/e/e38cafd6caeca3a8cdb203cf85a1667138c99da8.png) ![FileMaker Logo Redesign v2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/d/d29a87690372757fd76fe6d70bd9cc0519452944.png) ![FileMaker Logo Redesign v3](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/9/974c67a5a58c37fd5d236debc0064d1919e97ea5.png) ![FileMaker Logo Redesign v4](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/6/6be2d120d49caa4ebaea85d372282661440066e9.png) ---

All so much better than what they shipped with. It looks like a letter P. The folder was ugly, but I loved that I could use an emoji to fake it 📁 and easily add something that looked pretty darn close to their logo to meeting invites, emails, tasks, etc. Was very scannable. ---

With the new logo, FileMaker looks like the odd member of the Claris family. ---

Hi. I just upgraded from FM 19 to 2024 and dislike the new logo. I just created a few options, one of which I will use. ![Screenshot 2024-12-13 at 10.36.18 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/d/d324b32d4451240b70de17a3c1ac0cab310e2f55.jpeg) ---

Well, 2023m is an odd number. ---

Here is the one I went with. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/3/3c16c726ba497e75b8edfec41db6df1f7af6db1e.png) ---

It's the most interesting. I like the others too. I thought the others had too much weight above the logo detail. Here's an example where the detail is shifted up in the frame slightly. The left hand side is adjusted. The right hand side is your original. ![FMP Logos](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/1/17c04c4e6b9300d9aa6b939ded1eca6e3b378bf0.png) ---

Thanks! Your edit of sliding up slightly is spot on. ---

What I created above was a custom Filemaker application icon. I realized that I needed a custom file icon so I created this using Canvas X Mac. ![My custom ICON for FileMaker](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/9/9178915f40af5aec8203a1d09bc6a47b4b66a0c4.png) [Previous page](https://the.fmsoup.org/t/new-logo-for-filemaker-2023/3526.md?page=1)
