Vector images

[webknjaz]

Hey @rnmp, is there any chance that you could recover the vector sources of the cherry logo?

[webknjaz]

@rnmp?

[rnmp]

@webknjaz Hey sorry, I checked but forgot to respond. I technically have it in vector format but it's a vector format from Adobe Fireworks (which funny enough is in .png extension). Attached here but you will need to get ahold of that app and find a way to export it to svg or another vector format (I no longer have a CC account).

Hi @rnmp! Thanks!
I'll try to get Fireworks trial version for that.
Could you please re-upload the picture to somewhere else? I'm not sure whether GitHub preserves it "as is". Some web-sites "optimize" images the wrong way.

@webknjaz you're right!

Thanks!
I tried to install trial version on my wife's MacBook but it failed to even start the installer :(
Will try to find some old system for that maybe..

[webknjaz]

@rnmp so I've managed to open it with FireWorks but it looks like the layer inside the file is bitmap, not vector :(

FTR one can download trial of fireworks app @ https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/cs6-product-downloads.html

@webknjaz Oh no! I'm sorry about this. Tell you what:

Here are some paid vector sets where the new CherryPy logo resides:

https://creativemarket.com/Flower_Travelin_Man/1159878-Abstract-vector-cherry-icon

Pick one set and I'll buy it, clean up and set up the new logo!

I suggest the first set, in particular, a variation of these cherries:

What you think?

[webknjaz]

It's so nice of you to suggest that!

Personally I think I like the last one.
OTOH this is something which should be discussed with the broader maintainers team. At least ask @jaraco too..

My original intent was to have a vector image which could be easily put to web-pages and be easily scalable. What you suggest would result in a re-branding process which might or might not be desired at this point.

[rnmp]

Totally. Makes sense!

[webknjaz]

Oh, and it looks like images from that website cannot be used as logos. What do you think?
