Since I'm trying to come up with an idea for new [a little more
modern, and not looking like it was made in 2003 (no offense to
creator intended)] Trinity website I'd like some help. What I need is
a logo, a symbol for Trinity. And one that is not religious (since the
name was understood as a religious one once). The current logo is a
no-no IMO since it's a too big reference to the KDE logo (gears) and
it just kde3.5 logo with a "T" instead of "K". It should be something
simple and easy to remember.
I know I might be demanding too much, but I think it's a good idea to
come up with something together.

In my random googling, there is an old symbol
that has more of a "3" connotation, and not so much
of a religious one. Which I find appealing in the
sense of "timelessness". It's not entirely free
of negative connotations but perhaps worth
considering.

One broader throught is to lessen the emphasis on
KDE, in favor of the broader notion of the number 3.

Hi all,
I rather like this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Triskele-Symbol1.svg
With a little bit of work it could be a rather nice logo.
Best regards

+1, yet triskelion seems to be religious too (argh!, could some1
verify?). Yet it seems so unknown to most that I think it will do.

Also, might it perhaps be of
benefit to choose colours different from those favoured by the KDE
project (even if it's just a different blue, like navy or teal)?
I was thinking
about a little more dark blue. Anyway I had some idea
for text-logo: http://db.tt/cpKGVg61 This is the shade of blue i was
thinking about.
2011/12/15 E. Liddell <ejlddll(a)googlemail.com>
Hmmm . . . Maybe something involving a triangle, to
emphasise the
whole "three" notion (which would hopefully connect the word
"trinity"
back to something other than religion)?
I don't think that triangle would do. You know, whole illuminati and
eye that sees thing. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Providence
If there's no great hurry, I may try my hand at
sketching something
over the next few days . . .
Your sketches will be more than welcome. And there is
no hurry, since
I need to gather my ideas for whole structure of website, not only for
layout.

Second: http://db.tt/YpivoAGk
First one reasembles too much the Reaper logo (http://www.reaper.fm/),
but maybe it's only my impression.
I don't think the second could be used since it's pretty much the same
as logo of Trisquel linux (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisquel) [I

Not using databases is a big problem, since it practically constrains

Yes, but this gear is too strong reference to KDE, anyway we can have
a gear-like tooths in the logo (like in second example).

Anyway I'm more occupied by PKGBUILDs for arch ATM, so I will work on
this after I finish those. This was to gather some ideas, since I want
to create new webpage for trinity at some point (acutally second thing
on my TO-DO list, after PKGBUILDs)

A "planet" - basically it's a feed for all of our different blogs into one

A "apps" section, I think Darrell spoke about this before.
In fact, Darrell had a lot of good stuff and ideas for simplifying the

I think we are avoiding using any sort of databsases however and we want to

I developed the current website ( a vast improvement from the previous

and it's been quite careful.
We don't want anything to much, or to little, to complicated or to

I think improvments would be more warranted the this scenario.
I was thinking on relaying completely on the wiki system we use for
whole site. It can be done.
And I think we should add some sort of news system in which we will
write what actually happens inside the project, so it don't seem dead.
If we add ability to comment those news it will be like saying to
users "we care about what you think!". User-frendliness. This can be
done by using plugin for the wiki system.
Generally the archlinux site is a great inspiration for me. It's
simple, looks good and has everything you need.

within those constraints, keeping in mind that it doesn't have to look
*identical* on both Konqueror and more recent browsers, just "good".
Graceful degredation in webpages is not rocket science.
However, one thing that we do need to keep in mind is that people who
haven't yet installed any other graphical environment may wish to download
Trinity packages--in other words, it would be wise to create something
that is usable in text-based browsers like Lynx (it doesn't have to be
elegant, but it should be possible to get from the root page to the package
downloads that way).
Depends on what we're trying to achieve. Dynamic pages ease certain
types of collaboration and user-added content, but static pages are not
intrinsically evil and put less of a load on the server.

It uses disqus for the comments, for which I have mixed feelings. I'd
rather not relay on external services for parts of the website.
I think Calvin was advocating the general concept, not the specific
implementation. I'm sure we can find an open-source, locally-hostable
comment system that requires only PHP, HTML4/XHTML1, and
CSS<=2 (and if we can't, I'm sure I'm not the only one here
capable of creating such a system if it turns out to be both useful
and necessary).

There is really no reason we should "forget
about
Konqueror"--it's sufficiently
modern that it should support CSS1 and at least most of
CSS2, and a fair
selection of Javascript constructs. It's possible to
create a decent site
within those constraints, keeping in mind that it doesn't
have to look
*identical* on both Konqueror and more recent browsers,
just "good".
Graceful degredation in webpages is not rocket science.
However, one thing that we do need to keep in mind is that
people who
haven't yet installed any other graphical environment may
wish to download
Trinity packages--in other words, it would be wise to
create something
that is usable in text-based browsers like Lynx (it doesn't
have to be
elegant, but it should be possible to get from the root
page to the package
downloads that way).
Depends on what we're trying to achieve. Dynamic
pages ease certain
types of collaboration and user-added content, but static
pages are not
intrinsically evil and put less of a load on the server.
Please. Please! No JavaScript with the Trinity web site. Supporters of JavaScript should
take long walks on short piers, preferably while inebriated.
I hate JavaScript, the bane of the internet. Bandwidth hog and security nightmare.

Used properly, Javascript can make a nice enhancement to a webpage, but
*requiring* it in order to use a page is usually just bad design--same as Flash.
(I make an exception for games and some types of complex cloud-hosted
applications, however.) It's good for making user feedback more prompt,
and for certain types of visual effects that appeal to the sort of people who
leave it turned on, but in general, if it's used to do anything *important* (like
site navigation, or form validation or submission), that action should
also be possible without it. The NOSCRIPT element is good for more than
displaying stupid "we don't want to let you use our site" messages, and so

Scripts are just small text files, overhead is as minimal as the already

Firefox has long lost any control over it's ability to manage memory. As of
the latest builds, it can no longer be compiled on a 32bit system because
the linker uses 3gb+ of memory.

That is my basic point. Don't make JavaScript a functional requirement. JavaScript
should be an option. Those who do not use JavaScript should not be prohibited from
enjoying the web site or contributing comments.

Being in the engineering and technical fields much of my adult life, I have learned that

I long have suspected that my low usage of JavaScript helps me avoid the common complaints
about Firefox crashing and memory leaks. Who knows.
I agree that any software that crashes in itself makes a resounding statement about
quality assurance and lacks a professional image. :)

Let me rephrase. When a web site refuses to load because cookies are not enabled, then the
web site designer is playing the role of a fool. I came across such a site today (Sears),
researching a product. Because I use a white list approach for cookies, I do not have
cookies enabled globally. All I received from the web site was a message that I did not
have cookies enabled. No product information. I closed the page and moved on. I'm not
dealing with idiots like that.
Cookies are fine when the END-USER finds them useful. When cookies are required to merely
use a web site (like etherpad) then there is something inherently wrong with the design.
The same goes for JavaScript. For example, visit the Asus downloads site. No meaningful
function at all unless JavaScript is enabled. The Amazon web site is another example in
that viewing alternate images is not possible without JavaScript. That's not good
design.

JavaScript IS a bandwidth issue. Try surfing the web all day on dial-up.

still very much experience the overhead of all the web 2.0 nonsense.
And what is wrong with a simple forms-based comment section, much like we saw in the pre

If the TDE team wants to target people using older hardware as good
candidates for TDE, then consider the overall environment of these
people.
JS might be client-side, but the scripts still must be downloaded to
function. People on older hardware do not have the CPU or graphics
muscle in their machines to tolerate JS. I have older machines here
that I use in my testing. Those machines can't deal with all the Web
2.0 bullsh-t.
JS is not a big download, it is just C-like interpreted code. Also,
I don't agree at all with the "Web 2.0 bullsh*t" denomination you put
on Javascript: actually I learnt it with a computer without Internet
access and W98/IE4, well before the real Web 2.0 bullsh*t. The bullsh*t
is rather big commercial sites with large ads, fancy graphic effects and
large images all the way, that always gonna give c*** should they be
made in JS, Flash or any another technology.
That has always been a problem with computers. Devs use bleeding edge
hardware and never test their apps or web sites with older hardware.
Most of them have high broadband connections and never test with
anything else.
I think that the popularity of "smart"-phones will
entice/is enticing
Web developers to make semi-reasonable sites (but which are still
likely to knee down a K6-II).
Speaking of which, web devs need to test their pages on smaller
monitors. Most web pages these days are designed on monitors bigger
than most TVS and when the web page is viewed on a smaller monitor
the text is too small to read by anybody with vision issues.
Like for the above
point, "smart"-phones have lower resolutions and
smaller monitors.
All I'm saying here is don't be an ass wipe with redesigning the web
site. :)

A "apps" section, I think Darrell spoke
about
this before.
In fact, Darrell had a lot of good stuff and ideas for
simplifying the navigation of the website, they're
somewhere in the mail logs recently.
Updating the web site is on hold until the GIT migration and file renaming projects are
complete. Tim has the suggestions. I believe he will update the web site after the GIT and
file renaming projects are complete.
I'm still creating a basic apps description list.
My two cents about the logo is I like the current logo with the gears and T. The logo
shows our roots to KDE3 but maintains a separate identity.
I am not concerned with goofballs misinterpreting what Trinity means. Just about any name
can be perceived by fanatics as meaning something "sinister."
One rabbi and one blogger have their heads stuffed where the sun doesn't shine. That
is not a loss of market share.
Tim has expended too much energy with the renaming project to begin anew. Not to mention
the many places the word Trinity is used and also would need to be replaced. For example,
all Handbook help files, About descriptions, etc.
I'm aware of the various meanings but the name Trinity does not bother me.
The proposed FAQ in etherpad explains the meaning, in the History section. The FAQ will
become part of the updated web site.

keeping a website's sources in a VCS is always a good idea.

I might be a very ignorant in this topic. But I don't see a
justification for the rebranding. The product is *still* KDE on 99.9%
with a few bugs fixed. If there will be some large but hidden changes
like moving from HAL to UDEV, moving from DCOP to DBUS, XDG
compliance, etc. It will be *still* KDE user experience. The UI is
developed by KDE and the UI is that is valued most here. So this fuss
about replacement of K with T bothers me much! And this seem to take
too much energy instead of fixing real bugs.
And by the way pronounciation of TDE sounds awkward... So I'm all

KDE wishes to be associated with the new KDE4 user interface and plasma
experience, not the "old" KDE3 interface and traditional desktop
computing. By respecting this, we avoid a lot of potential strife and
confusion between the KDE and TDE projects.
Remember that for the majority of people a name is a *unique* identifier.
KDE cannot refer to two completely different systems designed around
incompatible HCI models without causing considerable confusion.

I like the one with the gears to maintain a connection to KDE3 historical roots. If the
majority vote to move to a new logo then I think the light blue of the old KDE3 logo can
help maintain roots to KDE3.
I like the current logo but if a new direction is what others want then that is fine with
me. All of these logos look good. :)

These seem a bit to complex to pass as a logo. As been discussed recently
about the icon set, it would be important to keep Crystal SVG and has such
have a logo that blends well together style and color wise with the
existing theme. Perhaps toning down on the reflections would also help with
visual recognition of the logo. I think it is important that whatever comes
out of this thread is easily used from 16x16 up to 256x256 pixels, though
that is not always possible.

I didn't scale it, no. That's a bigger issue though, as you can see from
Crystal SVG some cards have different versions for smaller icons, to
improve the icon's clarity. Sometimes it's warranted, sometimes it's not.

miscellaneous logo mockups:
http://postimage.org/image/5g0xh97rr/
These seem a bit to complex to pass as a logo. As been discussed recently
about the icon set, it would be important to keep Crystal SVG and has have a logo that blends well together style and
color wise with the
existing theme. Perhaps toning down on the reflections would also help
with
visual recognition of the logo. I think it is
important that whatever
comes
out of this thread is easily used from 16x16 up
to 256x256 pixels, though
that is not always possible.
I am forced to ask--did you actually try scaling them? The tree, triangle,
and
triskele designs, which received the most votes, remain recognizable at
16x16
(little details like the tree's leaves and the triskele's loops are
inevitably lost,
but the overall shapes remain clear). Details like colour and reflection
are
easy to change--it's the basic shape that's important in a logo.
Based on your reaction, I suspect that what I presented actually looks
too finished. That's my fault, though--really, I know better.
I also rather liked sh4dou's 1st sketch.
I think this is the heart of the matter. Eventually, someone's going to
have
to tally the votes and hand them over to Timothy for a decision, but I
don't think there's any hurry.

It's something they warn you against in design school: presenting something
that looks too finished at an early stage can convince the client that all aspects
of the design are already set in stone. In this case, everything I posted was
a first draft--just a very polished-looking one--and I'm quite happy to make
changes if anyone has any specific complaints.
It might not be a bad idea to follow the suggestion made in one of the other
threads and repost the current set of logo candidates--both mine and
sh4dou's--to the users' list and ask for votes/comments/other candidates
(after all, logo design doesn't require coding skills!), but I'm too tired to do
it tonight.
I didn't scale it, no. That's a bigger issue
though, as you can see from
Crystal SVG some cards have different versions for smaller icons, to
improve the icon's clarity. Sometimes it's warranted, sometimes it's not.
Regardless, this is something to worry about after a final selection is made.

I mean that I thought these were final designs?

Since I'm trying to come up with an idea for new
[a little more
modern, and not looking like it was made in 2003 (no offense to
creator intended)] Trinity website I'd like some help. What I need is
a logo, a symbol for Trinity. And one that is not religious (since the
name was understood as a religious one once). The current logo is a
no-no IMO since it's a too big reference to the KDE logo (gears) and
it just kde3.5 logo with a "T" instead of "K". It should be
something
simple and easy to remember.
I know I might be demanding too much, but I think it's a good idea to
come up with something together.
Hmmm . . . Maybe something involving a triangle, to emphasise the
whole "three" notion (which would hopefully connect the word
"trinity"
back to something other than religion)? Also, might it perhaps be of
benefit to choose colours different from those favoured by the KDE
project (even if it's just a different blue, like navy or teal)?
If there's no great hurry, I may try my hand at sketching something
over the next few days . . .
