What HN said

What people liked

  • Useful resource that makes it easier to credit technologies

    From 2 comments
    • This is great. I always want to give credit and show off the technologies I use but never quite know what is appropriate. This makes it easier!

    • This is awesome. I often spend more time formatting images than I do building the dang sites. Thank you for this. :)

  • Consistent logo formatting done well despite the difficulty

    • Tracing raster copies should be avoided at all costs; it's rarely necessary. If you're ever looking for vector copies of logos, the trick I've used in the past is to search for…

Objections

  • Some logos may violate brand guidelines, and colors may be wrong

    From 2 comments
    • Fwiw, changing ther colors of many logos violates various rules. I think both apple and Ms don't allow their logos to be altered, not even ther colors. Displaying logos can be…

    • The Y Combinator logo color is off. It's #f26625 [0], but should be #f0652f [1]. [0] https://www.vectorlogo.zone/logos/ycombinator/index.html [1] https://www.ycombinator.com/…

    From 4 comments
    • Please add the vim logo! Also maybe neovim whilew you're at it.

    • Awesome! I love having scalable images for everything. I see that you have QEMU on the todo list, but could you add KVM, please?
      JoshTriplett on HN
    • This is great! I'm glad to see FreeBSD on the To Do list. If you're taking requests, do one for Vim. And I was surprised to see SEPTA on the home page. Are you in Philadelphia?

    • Are you doing logos for sports teams? (you should if its legal)

  • Dark, mono and bright background variants

    From 1 comment
    • Great idea! I'd love to see easy config options (version for bright, dark background, monochcrome versions, again for bright and dark backgrounds). Just finding a SVG logo is not…

Questions

  • What is the workflow for generating the logos

    From 1 comment
    • What's your workflow for generating these images? I think the images are cool, but I think what's even more cool is having a a set of tools/techniques for "tracing" a given image…

    • If you're only interested in monochrome versions then https://simpleicons.org is a very good source of SVG icons too.

    • I had access to many vectorized logos from press release packs, and I replaced many non-vector ones for vectorized logos on Wikipedia in the past. It's so much easier to get it…
