Time for the big logo bash. We actually need two logos: 1. The Cyphal technology logo 2. OpenCyphal’s organizational logo I’ll start and we can do this free-for-all until something emerges. ---

Like this: ![image](https://forum.opencyphal.org/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d7fdc422ef3a62294707209a69d4395ca8c90570.png) Are we going to discard the color theme you created earlier or is it still applicable? Here it is, and I like it: > [@PR preparations for the upcoming UAVCAN v1.0 release: new website, new logo](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/pr-preparations-for-the-upcoming-uavcan-v1-0-release-new-website-new-logo/353/22): > > Here’s my input for colours [https://color.adobe.com/UAVCAN-color-theme-12106273/](https://color.adobe.com/UAVCAN-color-theme-12106273/) a logo using the primary blue colour from that theme: [image] I grow weary of this thread.

If it were to be attached to the bus spanning side-to-side, like it is in the current UAVCAN logo, that would make a lot of sense. ---

Speaking about OpenCyphal specifically, I think the logo should do a better job of emphasizing openness. By looking at the following image you can clearly tell that this particular Cyphal is, indeed, Open: ![image](https://forum.opencyphal.org/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0e9ecf6cb6a18f4cb01ee249bc9016d1fdd6d300.png) ---

The hyphae can be more horizontal and more digital in nature to emphasize the “Cyber” part of the portmanteau. ![cyphal-rebranching-right-rwy](https://forum.opencyphal.org/uploads/default/original/2X/f/fa3a3e98aec3e5aee04946b1af3d753ed9a5a690.png) This is generated by Context Free Design Grammar. ---

Okay. If we like the abstract logo then: _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/cyphal-logo-palooza/1626/17))_ To clarify this is the OpenCyphal project logo. I’m not sure if Cyphal itself needs a logo, actually, now that I think about it. ---

I’m not feeling strong about the Cyphal logo, but really logos are a bit more than something glued together in a fashion. At least I always let mine create by a designer and it’s worth every 💶 .

Ugh, we don’t have time for this I guess. Let’s just go with some font that reuses the same colour scheme but just says “OpenCyphal” with no decoration and we can circle back to this later. ---
