Logo about recoil

[joshpitzalis]

• Used the same curve angles as the relay logo
• Incorporates the spring/recoil visual connotation
• Expresses the idea of atoms updating state across components (two dots in separate locations, but connected)
• Tried to make sure the colour and stroke blends in with the rest of the family
• Can be squished down into a favicon
• Is not a gun

[jaredpalmer]

• spiral / spring => recoil
• not a gun
• circular like react, graphql logos
• balanced shape
• visually congruent, yet different from other logos, no matter which direction it is viewed from (e.g. laptop sticker)
• won't be confused with relay (doesn't rely on color)
• has an emoji 🌀 that’s pretty similar
• good favicon
• kind of looks like an r

After giving it some thought the slinky toy is not really "recoilling" so I tried the suggestions from @davidmccabe about the diagonals; pdf is attached, if someone wants to iterate feel free to take it apart. SVGs are here https://github.com/dkgrieshammer/recoil_logo

something like @davidmccabe?

[tony-go]

hi 👋

Tell me what you think?

[leonardoelias]

• a logo can be something to target;
• something smaller than react;
• Is not a gun;
• It's simple;

@davidmccabe Unfortunately, I was unable to come up with anything around the escapement. I'm spending too much time on this and have other things to do so I will leave you with a final, but unrelated idea, that I came up with of a slinky in the shape of a lowercase r.

The slinky reminds me of Stack Overflow 😅

Thought I'd toss something out there!

• Hidden R for Recoil
• Line (state?) crosses a boundary
• Components linked together
• Coiled spring
• Fits with the others

[dkgrieshammer]

Edit: something like this; could also work as animated loader / icon

[vjeux]

Thanks everyone for submitting various proposals for the logos, they were all super appreciated! In the end we went with @graypegg's proposal.

[tony-go]

Neat @joshpitzalis I like it :)

I got some feedback from my side, so I made a new iteration:

Original Logo idea

For smaller icons I increased the gap for better visibility.

[joshpitzalis]

@jaredpalmer I dig :) Sold on the emoji ⚛️🌀

[drarmstr]

Loving all the ideas! Sorry we've been so quiet on this thread lately, lots going on trying to get the library started and going in a good direction. We definitely appreciate all the prototypes and will have to figure out a good selection process once we have a chance to breathe. ;)

Hello,

Here is my idea for a very simple logo.

Thanks 👍

[nramabad]

a spring in the shape of an R

[tony-go]

Hi 👋🏼 :)

I found the ray gun pretty nice. 👍🏼

I’ll think about it and send you something. Maybe with a spring or abstract I don’t know. Ahahahah.

If you need help on other part or you have a roadmap to share. I’ll be very happy to contribute. I already love atoms ⚛️.

✌🏼

@jaredpalmer - really like this design

[vjeux]

This looks awesome! 🌀

[davidmccabe]

Wow, we have so many great logos to choose from. Thanks everybody! This is really heartening to see such enthusiasm.

[davidmccabe]

Yeah, that exact rendering of the idea is too much like Relay.

Here's another idea, mainspring and escapement of a watch.

[joshpitzalis]

@leonardoelias I like the first one. I feel like it loses the recoil connotation though. I suppose that's not a problem.

@davidmccabe Unfortunately, I was unable to come up with anything around the escapement. I'm spending too much time on this and have other things to do so I will leave you with a final, but unrelated idea, that I came up with of a slinky in the shape of a lowercase r.

[benprebble]

Looks like a slinky

[dkgrieshammer]

Looks like a slinky
That's the name, didn't know the english word for it, thanks

[chandan-reddy-k]

I actually created this logo while writing a blog post on Recoil Vs Redux . Let me know your thoughts on it 😄

[davidmccabe]

Very happy to see what you come up with.

We had a cute '50s-Sci-Fi-style ray-gun internally but this was deemed potentially offensive. Some kind of spring could be good. Or just something totally abstract.

[Robert187]

I like not to bad

[davidmccabe]

Just to put another idea out there, I think a series of diagonal lines or curves could be a great logo. Coils when viewed from the side make a really interesting sinuous shape, some function that probably (I don't know) has both trig and polynomial terms. Looking at just one or two turns of the coil could make a really unique shape. Or a more abstracted version could just be some bold diagonal lines, yet still suggestive of that projection of a coil.

[davidmccabe]

Like this:

(I searched so hard for an Attach button, turns out you just drag and drop. Amazing)

[joshpitzalis]

You could just flip mine vertically. But maybe too much like relay then.

[davidmccabe]

Awesome!

Remind anyone else of Celtic knots?

this got me thinking of these toy coils :)

[kaspatel-mdsol]

Wow some wonderful suggestions.

Mind doing a poll on a few that the core team picks?
