App Logo

The logo for the original 2014 design of the photo archive app was based on this openclipart.org file. The idea is good, but the openclipart file has some distortions, particularly in the film strip holes, that are distracting.

The new logo is using the GIMP Filters > Combine > Filmstrip... filter to create the filmstrip effect, and then the Filter > Distorts > Curve Bend... filter to make the curve. The font used is the Raleway font, obtained from Google Fonts. It uses the following set of photos: 20100909-140712, 20051102-092609, 20120918-112027, 07428, 20131102-130404, 20140911-100549, 20130811-095612, 20070709-152434.

Second try, with the same approach. It looks better, but there is again the distortion in the middle. Somehow, I haven’t gotten the curve bend filter to work the way I want. Added a possible background color, and a highlight effect on the background to give it some accent.

Third try. Something a lot simpler: just the main (attention-grabbing) sunflower photo, with hints of two other photos on the side. Still distinctive in small sizes. Suitable to be displayed in a circle or square.
