@freemo I like the first
@freemo I think they are too fancy, kinda noisy. I'd prefer a simple design.
And looks very AI generated 
@skyblond yea its ai.
@freemo I like them. I have a slight preference for dark text on light background (#2 and #4).
@freemo I like most the white background one.
@freemo This has the vibes of one of those factory games which is kind of cool.
@olives@qoto.org @freemo@qoto.org Hahahaha yeah.
@freemo While I like the idea considering the STEM focus of the group, I would argue the name of the group demands a more philosophically oriented logo.
Perhaps something like Qo | ɟo where the t and o are mirrored, indicating the selfie reflective nature of the intended members, as well as the barrier that exists between coming to personal understanding of truth and conveying it to the rest of the world.
I can sketch something up later, but it’s my bedtime soon lol.
@freemo@qoto.org I like the approach of the one with the white background, but make it less busy bullshitty.
@freemo
My view on
"Question others to teach ourselves"
is decidedly more cynical.
[https://www.projekt-gutenberg.org/wbusch/diogen/diogen.html]
Graphically, for a logo, think
"Obama campaign"
… unless you explicitly want to go for
"Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations".
But that might look like a Romanesco cauliflower.
@freemo
Dammit, still can't edit posts on qoto.org.
So I need to add the fractal logo in an extra post.
@tatzelbrumm Thats because we migrated but didnt update yet. The updates are coming we are just building out our beta environment in to do it more safely. few more days.
@freemo
Yeah, version and installation hell IS HELL.
Have to face it with xschem and magic for skywater130 at the moment, and it's disgusting and horrible
(as in, "Hell is other people's APIs").
Take your time.
@tatzelbrumm Luckily we have a whole team now backing QOTO with many more hires int he pipeline. While they arent devoted to just QOTO it means a rich development timeline in our future. Very exciting but takes time to build it out right.
@freemo
… and unfortunately, I just notice how alien is a software engineer mindest to me.
@freemo 2nd and 4th are amenable to text-only variations. I'd probably go with the 2nd (with the white background), with some edits to make the symbols meaningful.
@freemo
I like the one in the 4th quadrant (circle with white bg).
@freemo They're ML generated, aren't they? Too busy, too many nonsense symbols.
Keeping it simple seems a better approach.
