Contribution to the FreeBSD LOGO

My small contribution to the FreeBSD LOGO ...

 

[eternal_noob]

Where's Beastie?

Where's Beastie?

Sorry man, ? for now, I'm not able to add Beastie... But it will be as soon ?️.

 

[Isoux]

Where's Beastie?

Is now any better?

 

[eternal_noob]

Yes, looks much more "FreeBSDish".

Now i'd change the colors to make it even better. To be honest, i don't like the colors at all.

Any suggestions for colors?

 

[eternal_noob]

I'd use colors that match FreeBSDs corporate identity, i.e. some kind of red.
You can use https://color.adobe.com to find a nice palette.

 

[Isoux]

For now, I can't do better ... I tried to combine complementary colors.

I wouldn't say Bestest, but that's the proofreader side of me. Whatever you write or draw, enjoy it

 

[Geezer]

I wouldn't say Bestest,

For superlative, you can always use the BB code [dogsbollocks][/dogsbollocks].

Back then, Google Translate didn't help my language barrier. I had to have some suffix after the best ... maybe you have a suggestion?
Bested?

 

[eternal_noob]

How about the current slogan "The Power to Serve"?

Oh, and don't use green on red, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color#Opponent_process

How about the current slogan "The Power to Serve"?

That is OK just I would like to have 3 capital letters BSD. Anyway, is colors now better matched?

 

[eternal_noob]

When it comes to colors, less is more.

Replace the blue and the green with white, i'd say.
The yellow looks out of place too. Maybe a black border?

Everything was done as you suggested, you're right I like it better.

 

[eternal_noob]

The "ed", the "loped" and the "ware" are missing the shadows.
And i would use the same font size all over the place.

Talking of fonts, i would use one without serifs. Maybe Arial?
I am not a font expert but i suggest you try a few others.

I know, I tried to do it a few times but I just forgot how to use the tools and it has stayed that way for now.

 

[eternal_noob]

The inner doughnut still has a green border (inner and outer). Maybe make these white as well?

I just forgot how to use the tools

Ooops.

Ooops.

And that's fixed ... good night on my part. Thank you!

Bested?

If English is not your first language, I can certainly understand the difficulty here.
"Best" is the proper term, but because the word is so short, doesn't cross over the circle to look right.
"Bested" is often used as a verb. For example, in a sporting event, the winning team might be said to "have bested the competition."
"Bestest" is often used in a childish way, because it is a grammar error commonly used by children. It will be used as a non-serious superlative, such as Little Caesar's Pizza offering the "Extra Most Bestest" pizza. I think it goes fine with the whimsical nature of Beastie. If you were using the updated logo, you would probably want a more professional, grammatically proper word.

In any case, the logo is unreadable and the mascot is covered up so the whole thing is unusable.

You are right, I am only comforted by the fact that I am a beginner and that beginners have the right to make mistakes and imperfections.

Bested?

Best is already a superlative (of 'good'). There is no superlative of a superlative. It's "good" (adjective) -> "better" (comparative) -> "best" (superlative). Bestest is something a child would say. Bested is the past tense of the verb 'to best'.

Yes. Better green daemon with red shoes.
