We're looking to replace the https://tvheadend.org frontend site with a new "sexy" design fit for the modern age. We've had several people comment that redm...

EXACTLY what I was talking about! Simple, beautiful, neutral colors (and not too many), looks a bit like the Kodi logo. I like it a lot. I vote for that one, espc. the black one (sorry, Mark! ;-) At the very least, it is a big step in the right direction, and something to inspire further ideas.

Happy New Year!
Glad to hear you like it :)
Check http://kodi.wiki/view/Official:Trademark_Policy_index -> Media Center Logos, and
-> Visual Identity Guidelines:
"Our logos are to be displayed in its entirety on either a solid light or dark background (avoid mid-tone or strongly colored backgrounds)."
So no choice for white or black necessary ;)
I completely agree about the font, it's just a temporary lazy indication where the wordmark would come (as i.e. the app icon would be displayed on Android).
I'll try to complete the logo with a better matching font soon.
PS. is there a place I can upload the stuff?

(No idea why it crossed the "Media center logos" line in my previous post, not intended.)

Upload it her, I guess?
I don't know if there is going to be a vote or whatever or if someone is going to make a decision somehow.
I don't really know who 'We' in "We're looking to replace...." are :-) Adam and Jaroslav, perhaps? I hope they will tell us how they want to proceede. I guess this was originally a discussion about a new website, and noone has said a word about that, at least not that I've heard, so maybe the logo-thing is tied up in that?

I uploaded the vector logo (PDF) here:

The font used is the freeware SciFly, available on:

Just not sure about the 'bicolor' text logo, maybe just orange is better..

Feel free to use it as is / make suggestions!

PS. Concerning the site itself, I have the feeling that changing the Redmine theme to something fresher, more modern and responsive (mobile use) would make a world of difference.
Changing the homepage to land on project info + news would make the project more accessible and look more 'alive' ;)

Matt great work on the logo! And yes I think you're right all orange text does look better! :)

@Matti DH : Thank you for your work on logo. Could you put your copyright and licence (FreeArt?) to PDF (or any other format) ? From my view, your logo is my hot candidate for tvh 4.2. Thanks.

Thank you, again. The new icon is used in the 4.1 code since today.
