Logo for the JuliaDiff organization?

My favorite is the M.C. Escher nabla logo from @cormullion. It’s both simple and compelling.

Let’s do a poll between the most popular orientations! The options are:

  1. Initial organization logo from GitHub
  2. \nabla f with blended colors by @gdalle
  3. Original Escher \nabla by @cormullion
  4. Rainbows and arrows by @lmiq
  5. Nested \nabla by @lmiq
  6. 3D Escher \nabla by @gdalle
  7. Relativistic Julia gradient by @rafael.guerra
  8. \nabla of Julia dots by @gdalle

Beware that the options in the poll are in a different order

    1. Initial organization logo
    1. \nabla f with blended colors
    1. Original Escher \nabla
    1. Rainbows and arrows
    1. Nested \nabla
    1. 3D Escher
    1. Relativistic Julia gradient
    1. \nabla of Julia dots

are you able to make the poll multiple-choice?

I am worried single-choice will split votes among similar options

My favorite logo is not here yet. “Original Escher” is the most aesthetically pleasing, but lacking mathematical context. “∇ of Julia dots” is OK, but the proportions don’t feel perfect - maybe make nabla a bit taller?

The poll is on the broad orientation, we can hash out the details later

My favourite would be Original Escher with Julia dots, so great that I could check both of these in the poll.

Hope to contribute to Diff-Stuff somewhen as well (then for sure with manifolds involved).

I’m a physicist so it is the divergence of the current density! :slightly_smiling_face:

Combine the two glyphs?

or with some shape perception shenanigans?

Maybe I’m too much wanna-be minimalist, but this I personally find \nabla and the three dots too much, I would prefer just the \nabla. Or maybe even more elementary partial derivatives (given that not everything one computes is a gradient):

The poll is unambiguous, the general direction of the logo will be the \nabla of Julia dots.
From now on we’ll focus on suggestions of design for this specific direction, such as:

  • respective size of the gradient and dots
  • spacing between letters
  • contours
  • etc.

The code is available in the following Pluto notebook, if you want to play around

Without further inputs I’m inclined to go with what we have now, and possibly adjust later?

I have updated the logo on the GitHub organization
