New Logo, Design and Header for PixelProps

[0x11DFE]

Enhancement Proposal: Host a Design Contest for PixelProps Logo, Design, and Header

Background

Currently, the PixelProps logo is derived from a Google design, which I have never been fully satisfied with. While it has served as a temporary solution, the logo doesn't reflect the unique identity and vision of the project.

I had previously engaged with another designer for a potential redesign, but we couldn’t come to an agreement on the outcome as the proposed logo was a bit too simple and didn’t quite capture the essence of the project.

Proposal

To create a fresh, original visual identity for PixelProps, I propose hosting a community-driven Design Contest. The goal is to gather creative ideas for a new logo, project header, and general design assets that can better represent PixelProps. The contest will offer an opportunity for designers and community members to submit their concepts.

Contest Details

• Scope:

  • A new logo (main focus)
  • A header/banner for the project
  • Optional: Any additional design elements or a cohesive visual theme for the project’s branding.

• Guidelines:

  • The design must be original and must not infringe on any existing copyrights or trademarks.
  • The logo should not be derivative of existing logos, particularly Google's or other major companies.
  • The logo should capture the essence and purpose of PixelProps—a project that deals with Pixel branded device in order to build properties and features for any device.
  • The design should be modern, recognizable, and scalable (usable in different sizes and formats).
  • Submissions should include vector files (e.g., SVG, AI) and examples of how the logo might look in different contexts (e.g., website, GitHub, social media).

• Judging Criteria:

  • Creativity and originality
  • Relevance to the PixelProps mission
  • Visual appeal and usability in different formats (favicon, social media, etc.)
  • Community feedback (optional)

• Timeline:

  • The contest will run for 4-6 weeks. During this period, participants can submit their designs via a GitHub issue, Google form, or similar platform.
  • After the submission deadline, the top entries will be shortlisted, and the final design will be chosen based on community votes on GitHub.

• Reward:

  • The winner will receive $20 in USDT.
  • The winning designer will be credited in the project's README.md, on the project's Telegram channel.
  • The winner will also receive a potential invitation to contribute further to the project’s design needs.

Benefits

1. Originality: This will give PixelProps a unique, recognizable identity that stands out from other projects.
2. Community Engagement: Hosting a contest will foster community involvement and offer a way to crowdsource creative ideas.
3. Future Flexibility: A well-designed logo and cohesive visual identity can be useful for future branding, marketing, and promotional materials.
