Logo

[jacobwilliams]

Propose creating and adding a FFTPACK logo.

I've seen Python and R packages use very nice logos recently. Here are a few examples:

• Scipy: https://github.com/scipy/scipy
• Numpy: https://github.com/numpy/numpy
• gsignal: https://github.com/gjmvanboxtel/gsignal (I really like this "sticker" look, there appears to be a package for these called hexSticker)

FFTW also has a simple and recognizable logo.

After reading the discussion #24, I'd like to propose a different take than the PR.

It was designed with the ideas in mind:

I think it is better to focus on FFT / waves /
@awvwgk

Maybe a variation on the proposed logo for fpm would be a better fit.
@ivan-pi

With FFT I also like to picture the "green" signals like you'd see on an old cathode ray oscilloscope.
@ivan-pi

The same purple/white colors, but change the font, such as the fpm logo
@certik

In particular, it is based on the package idea of the fpm logo visible here (that I also made).
I made three color proposals (p1-color-a, p1-color-b and p1-color-c).

I hope this helps!

@jacobwilliams @ivan-pi @awvwgk @certik Do you have any update on this?

[jacobwilliams]

I like them! I like the p1-color-a the best.

@jacobwilliams We can focus on this one then.

Below is a slightly simpler version, along with background variations.
Let me know if you have any thoughts.

I like the second one the most (green plane, black axes and curve). I know I'm not a regular contributor here, but I came upon the discussion and thought I'd weigh in!

EDIT: after looking at them again the first one also looks very nice, if not best.

[cval26]

Unless there are objections, I think we can move on with the first option in the above message, from color scheme p1-color-a. Do you agree with this?

@1984logo can you generate three images in the p1-color-a color scheme: one with just the logo, one with the logo and FFTPACK written next to it, and one in the banner-tagline form? I can add the logo files in the media folder and README file, so that we can close this.

@cval26 Sounds good! Give me a couple of days to prepare the files.

[cval26]

@1984logo Any updates on that?

[1984logo]

@cval26 Not yet but I should be able to do it this week.

[1984logo]

@cval26 Please find the images in the following zip file logo-fftpack.zip.

• On a white background (light theme), prefer to use the versions without background.
• On any background (dark or light theme), use the versions with background.

Regarding the license, I propose the following (see also the license.md file in the zip file):
