Hey all -
I have to say, I’ve been loving checking this thread every day. So many of these designs are incredible, and it’s been a bunch of fun to see what the community thinks of when it comes to Logseq!
We’ve been a little quiet on our front because we wanted to get an unbiased opinion of what came to your mind ~ but with the clock coming to a close, we wanted to share a few insights to inspire your designs further. We are sharing this not as a critique but as a nudge towards a shared vision 
From the submissions we have received, we’ve seen many designs featuring thin lines and literal representations of the Logseq application. While we appreciate the detail and dedication these designs demonstrate, we would like to encourage exploration of a slightly different approach.
Our vision
We find ourselves leaning towards an icon that is more abstract, using bolder shapes and lines. Such an icon can create a strong visual impact and is more recognizable at smaller sizes, which is a crucial aspect for app icons. We’re also partial to bolder designs that have room to support shadows or gradients, as we start to introduce new colors and depth to our application, and are less concerned about capturing letters from “Logseq” as we’re hoping to grow this brand to enough recognizability to not need the hints.
One of our further out conversations has been about the use of the “
” emoji on Twitter to refer to Logseq, and internally we’ve have quite a few spikes to try and see if there’s something there (admittedly, a log is very hard to make visually interesting and distinct 
).
Remember, none of these are strict guidelines, but just communicating some of our thoughts internally. The winners of the community prizes will be largely judged by the community anyways ~ so don’t feel you have to put too much stock in our opinion.
Contest deadline extended by one week
We will also be extending the contest by one week (more public announcement coming soon) so anyone who would like to has time to take this advice and run with it. We’ll be responding a lot more to designs, and providing more of our own thoughts, if that is alright with everyone!
We wholeheartedly encourage individual creativity and personal interpretation, and really, truly have enjoyed watching the submission come in. Thank you so much to everyone who has participated, and I hope everyone else is as excited as we are.
