I like 7C better. It has the advantage of the aspect ratio (almost square).

Sylvain,

 

Thank you for taking the time to create these logos! My preference would be 9A and 9B (on a green plane).

 

Thank you again,

Christina

Hi,

 

Thanks Thomas for your feebacks.

 

Here are a few new tries (work in progress) : http://dakitanmonkey.2tokiislands.com/proj_logos_4.png (lines 10 and 11), inspired by your suggestions.

I am unconvinced (or actually rather strictly against) the “globe and plane” style logo candidates: They focus too narrowly on the projection side of things, which is already indicated quite clearly through the name PROJ.

 

I kind of like 3C, with the phi and its shadow - the shadow somehow indicating a “related but not identical reference frame”, i.e. a datum shift.

 

I do, however, not like the shape of the phi (or actually “varphi”: phi is the “O with bar strikethrough” often used to indicate a clock phase): The very open-to-the-left varphi looks too much like the word “up”.

 

I would like the logo to indicate more clearly that geodesy is a four-dimensional science, and the operations PROJ provide support that.

 

So perhaps something like 3C, but with the letters “P R O J” casting the shadows “varphi lambda H t” - or for the sake of simplicity and recognizability in small sizes: Just the four letters “varphi lambda H t” on one line, and “P R O J” below that:

 

φλHt

PROJ

 

(where the phi was supposed to be a varphi)

 

It may be a challenge to make it work graphically, since varphi descends, and lambda, H and t ascends - but I am sure this can be made to work by someone more graphically skilled than myself.

Thanks for the feedback  and suggestions.

Let's wait some more reactions of the community for my propositions, and also for the other's (Nicolas, Janne...) one.

Thank you! I’ve come to the conclusion that of your proposals I like 5B the best. I like the wire-frame globe and that the plane below it is sort of the projected footprint of the globe. Additionally I like that the colors are simple (no shades and gradients) which I believe is more suitable for a logo. Additionally the red can be replaced with other colors depending on the context, for instance the OSGeo website which uses a black and green colorscheme.

Kristian, 

 

I've added a new version there http://dakitanmonkey.2tokiislands.com/proj_logos_3.png including your suggestion (9B)

Thanks Sylvain,

 

These are indeed some good logo proposals. Like Even I also like the 2B/9A logo. I also like the 5B version. It would be interesting to see a combination of 5B and 9A. I like the wireframe globe and the red from 5B.

Thanks Sylvain. My preference would go to 2B, but perhaps with a uppercase J.
Wondering if it wouldn't be better to enlarge a bit the green plane so that 
all letters (especially the P) are on it ?
