Concerns

• Lightbulb - project is less about ideas than it is about finished tangible items that people want to share.
• Handshake - is more 1-on-1

Good

• Books
• people
• sharing
• thought bubbles with books in them

Less is more, maybe two relevant images

4/29 Notes

Link to Figma page

• presented survey findings about which share icon and mobile OS Hack for LA community uses

• figure out how to warp text within outline of database icon shape

Action Items

• if possible, attend Data Science CoP on Mondays 7 pm to see how to apply survey findings to general public data

5/6/24 Notes

Link to Figma page

• presented breakdown of survey findings
• presented logo versions where I tried curved text

Feedback

• try android share, as market is bigger there. each connecting line can be shown with text and circle can be filled
• try Kittl, Canva to see if those tools can make text fill shape

Action Items

• figure out how to warp text in shape
• play around with designing Android versions of share icon

5/21 Notes

Link to Figma page

• presented new versions of database logo, including warped text versions

Feedback

• warped text share icon is hard to read, but it was nice to try out
• logos 1&2, don't include "bop" in logo, so other brigades have option to add their name in; play around with arrow; maybe combine with arrow share icon
• logos 3&4, perhaps text can be inside thin rectangle for line part
• for Kittl2, try adding BOP in top oval, and split know-ledge-base into remaining 3 layers

Action Items

• continue iterating different versions of logo for knowledgebase (refer to feedback notes)
