Re: [LaTeXila] New logo idea

[Pierre GUYOT <guyot p g gmail com>]

I agree with Mike, the logo is an important part of the way people "see" the software. When you look in the software center and you see the current logo, it doesn't look professional, which is sad because LaTeXila is a great software, probably ma favourite LaTeX editor. With the implementation of spell checking (that I'm trying on 2.3.1), it will probably reach TexMaker's quality in my opinion. The logo has to follow! I've replaced the current logo with a homemade logo (Faenza inspired), which looks good on Gnome 3 but probably not on Gnome 2.

I'll try adding a glass as a part of the branding/logo and see how it looks.

The reason I made the logo so serious looking was because I figured
that was the kind of people that would use it. Rather than looking for
something fun, a professional would be attracted toward something more
modern. I'll admit, even I was discouraged from installing the program
when I saw the logo.

If this logo isn't what you were looking for, I'm perfectly happy
scrapping it and starting over ;) I just want to help out in a way
that I can, since I can't do much coding at the moment.
