Developers seriously need to work to incorporate designers in OSS more. Even just basic UX would go a long way for many projects. Maybe some sort of better issue templates, or perhaps a more custom solution is necessary?

I'm currently trying [1] this but I don't know how to pick up more traction from designers. Perhaps I'm looking for someone who can both design (change an existing new design) and implement it at the same time, which may be too much? I don't know. Good designers can make a project succeed. We need more in OSS. [1] https://github.com/CachetHQ/Cachet/issues/3111

In my experience it is much easier to find someone who can mockup/wireframe well with no coding experience.

I personally enjoy the process of taking a design and bringing it to life in the real codebase. I find it somewhat meditative and a good task to work on when you brain is a little overloaded.

Thank you for this! What a wonderful contribution :)

Similarly, I provide my 8-bit music ( https://ericskiff.com/music ) to any game or video makers that want to use it under an open-source compatible CC-BY license, and it's paid such amazing dividends every day. I love getting to see who uses it and what creative things they create! I hope you get similar satisfaction from the projects you help enable!

AT&T logo was mentioned elsewhere in comments. Any other examples?

Off the top of my head: - mr jumbo: php - foxy: gitlab - moby: docker - steps: maybe webpack? - the fall: endomondo - apple: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51Aug%2BBkatL._SY450_.jpg - cosmos: CircleCI - watchbob: Datadog? Quite a lot of the others remind me intensely of service logos I've seen once but never used, especially birdangle and neo.

- foxy: reminded me more of the older 538 logo.

- the fall: reminded me of the old packard bell logo

- steps: similar to some of the aws icons

Hey, I did not and have no intention to steal any creative property. If I mistakenly did anything bad to harm any kind of business or organization, I can delete what I created, as I don't want to spend time on zero sum games honestly. Here are some sketches, that will no prove anything also I guess :) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LolhGR_OIaSmyX8YMQYEQK8VUHI... https://drive.google.com/file/d/11tEr6HJI795UvR3BrDwv…

I certainly would not want to accuse you of theft. Inspiration certainly but not theft. Hell, given how much advertising and branding we're constantly blasted with these days it doesn't even necessarily have to be conscious inspiration. I'm convinced I've seen the "recurse" logo within the last month, but I've seen so many icons that I can't begin to speculate where.

No worries, I'm not offended. Biggest inspiration was reading Draplin Design Co.: Pretty Much Everything. Also http://logo.pizza/ and https://bootstraplogos.com/ were good projects as reference.

Very nice! My only thought is that I wish you'd update it every week with new designs, and then sort of open it up so others can contribute their logo's for others to use, something like a logo-bazaar with regular updates. I think you'd attract quite a few artists willing to participate akin to DeviantArt, although with a commercial twist. Bookmarked for another visit in a few months just to see what sort of progress…

Great idea. Honestly I was not expecting a big support like this. I hope the current state of the project can help some projects now and hopefully in the long term we can include new designers and help as much as project we can.

Cool concept. How about using a repository on GitHub and using pull requests/voting to manage submissions?

Warning :Don't put this project on github because Microsoft aka CIA /NSA are injecting invisible malicious spyware in github and Atom. To sum up, only blind sheeps, Cuckold Sisi Devs and Dev Slaves support Github via the backdoor of Microsoft (Spyware corporation) and others Alphabet (intelligence) agencies like Amazon, facebook and Google.... Put the project on gitlab if you don't want people to be killed with Metadata..... Cheers

Such a brilliant and simple idea I've seen on HN so far. It's a strong evidence that the designer can contribute back to the community. Btw, I've written my claim at https://github.com/arasatasaygin/openlogos/issues/1#issuecom... Hope I will get it

It's reality: http://www.dw.com/en/german-caf%C3%A9-owner-takes-on-apple-a...

No. That’s the opposite. That’s a small company taking on a big one and winning. The OP that I was replying to was talking about big companies going after minnows.

Apple initially went after the small shop in this story.
