Hi All, I'm happy to announce that Apple has agreed to let llvm.org (and anyone else) use the great LLVM logo they designed for WWDC. If you're interested, you can see the full version of the logo on this page: http://llvm.org/Logo.html I personally think that this is a pretty great logo/mascot for LLVM, because it is very abstract, can be adapted in a variety of ways, is alpha channeled correctly, and probably looks great on shirts/mouse pads. If nothing else, it seems a lot more compelling than a wildebeest jumping out of an egg ;-) That said, I'm not a graphic artist. I simply down-sampled the image to get the "Small" one that I'd like to use on the sidebar. The image is complex enough that it will probably take someone who knows what they are doing to make it look good. Any help is definitely appreciated with this. -Chris

If we have any skilled vector artists, they could try to recreate the image as a vector graphic (it is not so complex as to prevent this) which would allow for free scaling. Sebastian
my 2 cents but it looks like the logo was drawn using a vector graphics editor, so you may directly ask the author the .svg version ;-) - Christophe On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 9:40 AM, Sebastian Redl<sebastian.redl at getdesigned.at> wrote:> > On Thu, 30 Jul 2009 00:09:01 -0700, Chris Lattner <clattner at apple.com> > wrote: >> http://llvm.org/Logo.html >> >> That said, I'm not a graphic artist.

Isn't it possible to get a vectored version from Apple ? Else it's possible to "vectorize" the png but if such a version already exists it would definitely be easier.

I'm awful at this kind of stuff, but maybe someone could do a small version of this with "LLVM Inside" or some such phrase on it, to be used on websites of compilers using LLVM as their backend? LLVM is getting much "brand recognition" in programmer circles these days, and the logo should help to further promote that.

If we need to name the llvm mascot, how about lleweelyn.... or perhaps even better, LLeVeelyM Nick On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 3:06 PM, Albert Graef<Dr.Graef at t-online.de> wrote:> m awful at this kind of stuff, but maybe someone could do a small > version of this with "LLVM Inside" or some such phrase on it, to be used > on websites of compilers using LLVM as their backend?

Of course having the SVG without an artist is already better than having none of them :). [1] http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines#Sizes -- Felipe.
