Paint Access graphic to go along with “leaving a mark on Australia”. This shows the areas that have ordered from PaintAccess.com.au
@SydJS Helvetica Australia Typographic Treatment with Brackets
Another @Sydjs logo variant. This time it’s aimed purely at developers by using a piece of valid JavaScript and styling it like a syntax-highlighting code editor would. Obviously a white-on-black theme is required to ring true with the most “hardcore” hackers. Monospace font is a must. Initial sketches were without the quotes, but that makes for invalid JavaScript and we don’t want people filing bug reports.
Styled as a sign with the necessary mobileweb reflections. Shadow, reflections and legs are embelishments. Without them the logo becomes a rounded rectangle with text, which easily converts to black and white.
{syd:’js’} is main logo idea
{sydjs:2010} is an alternate variant to signify the year the group was established (and to avoid using quotes without syntax errors)
If we suspend our disbelief that {syd:js} is invalid, we see that it looks much neater.
When presented in pure black and white it looks kind like a long iPhone or PSP. :) Geeky all the way.
Inspired by TextMate
UPDATE: because of the way tumblr presents multiple pictures, now all variants + work in progress are included in one file
My quick attempt at a logo for SYDjs (#sydjs @sydjs)
SYDjs is Sydney JavaScript group that came into existence about a month.
Done in illustrator. Vector art is available on request. Chunk Five font (open source).
Main idea was to make it possible to identify the group homebase on the map. Another idea was to allow other cities to mark themselves on the map and just change the “SYD” part to “MELB” or “PERTH” etc.
Feedback or sampling of this logo for your creative is most welcome.
The whole process of creation, including uploading and writing of this post took exactly 80 minutes. :)
