[Lilypond-auto] [LilyIssues-auto] [testlilyissues:issues] #4978 New LilyPond Logo

[Auto mailings of changes to Lily Issues]

I like the overall simplicity of Pierre's proposal and its design including the basic frontal asymmetry. However, in the proposed form it is visually imbalanced left/right exactly because the outline is perfectly symmetrical. I think you'll need to haul the lower part of the front leaf somewhat to the left in order to achieve "optical correction".

This would violate the mathematical correctness for a better optical balance, sacrificing actual rigidness to apparent balance in a manner LilyPond, like good typesetters, does also while arranging notes. The imbalance is particularly apparent in small print, like the proposed footline, where I otherwise very much appreciate the straightforward clarity and iconic unclutteredness of the proposal.

Hi Bug squad,

Please be so kind to create a tracker for creating a new glyph as the LP
logo.
See discussion:
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/LilyPond-logo-td193408.html

Enclosed is my proposition (#10 in the former thread).
I choose [Pierre's choice.png] attached because:
- it's the one I like most.
- some users have shown some interest
- this choice was confirm as "good" by two professional designers (one is
retired for years but she use to work in a famous industrial group in
Germany as a graphist and still have very sharp eyes).

I slightly redesigned it using a golden ration (see enclosed pic)

Cheers,
Pierre
