Use the Montreal skyline

Answer 1 · 2016-08-31T01:57:14.000Z

Is there current art work for this?

Answer 2 · 2016-08-31T02:09:41.000Z

@ajmas - the current art-work is work-in-progress, heh, something simple I could muster out of Inkscape...

For more inspiration: http://nodeschool.io/hexdex.html

@nicolasgere can help fun-it-up and @CassieLR can add colour! 😛

Answer 3 · 2016-08-31T02:11:39.000Z

If we could get something with the Olympic stadium? Hmm, any artist friends around?

Answer 4 · 2016-08-31T02:19:07.000Z

You mean that thing that's not even a city landmark because you and I are still paying for it?

Maybe @alicephieu or @rvoulon can help find someone? 😄

Answer 5 · 2016-08-31T11:54:36.000Z

We finished paying for it in 2006. - Just checked 😊 . Any other landmark suggestions? Biosphere?

Answer 6 · 2016-09-01T20:38:08.000Z

Should we post on the Facebook page for contributions?

Answer 7 · 2016-09-02T03:39:18.000Z

Bridge and biosphrere could work, with mountain + cross and PVM batman light in the background?

Hexagon this:

Answer 8 · 2017-11-07T22:31:31.000Z

I spent a bit of time today, and came up with this. Super simple. What do we think?

Answer 9 · 2017-11-07T22:39:34.000Z

It may not be legal to use this logo, without authorization in writing. Does a citizen of Montréal who speaks french want to contact the city and ask? http://ville.montreal.qc.ca/portal/page?_pageid=5977,42999681&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL#par_courriel

Answer 10 · 2017-11-07T22:44:14.000Z

They accept calls in English too. I wouldn't worry about the branding problem. ("legal"). Nothing serious happens here. No persecution of citizens for being good people.

Answer 11 · 2017-11-08T04:18:13.000Z

Is there a way to tweak it a bit, so it is more a tip of the hat to the logo, than the logo itself? Maybe a play on the Montreal flag?

Answer 12 · 2017-11-08T10:46:36.000Z

How do I get myself on this email thread?? Can you take me off?

@rvoulon You can unsubscribe from the thread.
@ajmas Unfortunately, not with my design skills. This took the better part of an hour.

Answer 15 · 2017-11-08T13:11:08.000Z

Yes I just realized I was getting them from GitHub and unsubscribed. However by tagging me you resubscibed me again... (-_- )

Shutterstock has some nice Montreal-themed vector line art that we can adjust to fit our needs, as an alternate approach.

I'll try making some mockups when I've got a free moment.

Answer 17 · 2017-11-08T15:40:52.000Z

Those would be much better! Awesome.

Answer 18 · 2017-11-09T20:56:56.000Z

Here's one mockup completed:

For anyone who wants to make adjustments, here's the svg: https://gist.github.com/matchai/acd657c2c71613325768a3d72d88e366

What do you think about the colors?
Anything you think should be added/removed/changed?
I'm not at all married to this design, so any feedback is good feedback! 😄

Answer 19 · 2017-11-09T22:09:38.000Z

Not sure about the Yellow, otherwise looks good. Should we try to keep the colours Montreal, Quebec or Canada related?

Answer 20 · 2017-11-09T22:27:17.000Z

Red and white?

I like the logo! It's definitely distinctively Montréal. Not my favourite landmark though; any chance of using the skyline and hill? Might not work as easy.

Answer 21 · 2017-11-10T18:52:56.000Z

Here's what red/white and blue/white look like:

Answer 22 · 2017-11-10T21:30:27.000Z

I like the blue and white! Makes me feel cold. :D

Answer 23 · 2017-11-10T22:19:49.000Z

I like the blue and white too. Seems soothing, despite the cold :)

Answer 24 · 2017-11-21T09:12:28.000Z

@matchai Did you order some of these? :)

Answer 25 · 2017-11-21T15:07:11.000Z

Moving that conversation over to #50.

Answer 26 · 2017-11-21T15:15:17.000Z

Here are the final svgs, to be added to the repo as soon as #73 is closed:
