Splash page and other branding updates

[manojVivek]

To discuss the ideas from @naher94 about the branding update and splash page.

[naher94]

Had some ideas around updating the branding to pull in the bright pink-red from the splash page. Related to that I was wondering if the hover color purple that is in the app has its own meaning. Might make sense to converge the pink-red and purple for brand consistency.

Also was thinking to update the logo that fit better with the new icon language and the tone of the application and the splash page: modern, clean fun...

Here is a quick sketch I was playing with:

please keep the original icon and colors (but create a light theme)
I really don't like a colorful app

The current logo definitely feels a bit old school with that TimesNewRoman Rs... I also agree with jjavier about not having a colorful app to keep it clean and minimal.
If it's just the icon though I really like the suggestion. Perhaps converging to the more neutral duotone of the Splash Page (very-dark-navy-blue & pink-red) to unify the branding of the app?

[jjavierdguezas]

I am not a designer, and yes the icon feels old school, maybe we need to give it more love, but the "responsive concept" (content adapted to device size) is really well represented with the Rs (and I don't see it in @naher94 propose)

To be honest the bright pink-red from the website and the purple on the app are just random colors and don't really carry much meaning.

Is it possible to add a preview image with this logo on the app UI screenshot?

But I agree with others too, would prefer a less flashy logo.

Saw this issue related to branding updates for responsively and wanted to contribute to this! I read through the previous comments regarding the logo and came up with a minimalistic one that could showcase the responsive behavior. Let me know what you think! 😁

@SowmyaSeshadri I like the logo a lot 😍
It looks perfect in the darkest background but in the lighter one I don't think so 🤔
darker background:

less dark background:

I don't know if is because it has a shadow? 🤔

[SowmyaSeshadri]

Thanks for the catch @jjavierdguezas! You're right. It was the shadow that didn't look fine in the lighter background. I got it fixed and it looks much better now. Thanks for the feedback! Let me know if you have any more suggestions!

This is how it looks in light & dark background

@manojVivek Any suggestions/feedback for the logo that I've attached above? If you are good with it, let me know if I can issue a PR with the high resolution logos. 😁

[manojVivek]

Hi @SowmyaSeshadri, I like it too. But looks kind of familiar from a similar tool, don't remember exactly which one it is.

Would love to see a different variations or something if you had tried something.

Thank you so much for your efforts on this, really appreciate it. 🙌🏼

[SowmyaSeshadri]

@manojVivek Sure, let me try few other variations and get back to you!
