Would be cool to play with a fero-fluid-like effect for Inky's transformations. Here's some visual inspiration for you. :) https://vimeo.com/116510462 -C On Wed, Nov 23, 2016 at 6:42 AM, C R <cajhne@...400...> wrote:Inky is so cute! Or should it be called Inkdrop?Agreed. I like Martin's version that's like a little animal/cat or something. But maybe that's just me liking cats. ;P I'll do some variations, I'm sure Martin and I could work up some dynamic versions too.I'd love to see this idea revised, polished and incorporated into the official branding. We should have something like your video coded into an SVG animation and put on the website. I can help with that once I clear out my current plate.Sure. I'll do some story-boards for the animation over the holiday season. When you're ready, just give me a nudge. :) My initial idea was to have inky be a polymorph that can be cute and cuddly but also a bad-ass when necessary, transforming into the most useful tool for the task at hand. This provides a rich ground for animations, which we could incorporate into our "official" videos. Inky helps you get the job done. :) I like "Inky", Could go Inky Inkdrop, for a "bugs bunny" "micky mouse" "[name] [what-it-is]" first-name, last name soft of deal that has worked well in cartoons since the dawn of animation. :) My 2p -CMihaela On 22.11.2016 22:09, C R wrote: I also think we have a drop mascot in the CR video. Daw, thanks for the mention, Jabier! That would be the inkdrop animation I never got around to encorporating in the video. It's here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zx9b7m59xa4yi8g/inkscape_intro_animation_wip_3.ogv?dl=0 Sound effects to follow once I get time again (future). I'm not sure this animation qualifies as a "mascot", but I think Martin showed me inky after the fact... so maybe that's two kinda/sorta votes for an inkdrop mascot? :) I mean "freedom machine" is fun... but could represent any FOSS software project (or any computer running Linux or OpenBSD). Inky is kinda uniquely ours, imho. I'm sure variations would be welcome, and I'd sure like to see what the community has to say about it (if I get a vote) :) -C -C On Tue, 2016-11-22 at 03:38 -0700, Brynn wrote: And "Freedom Machine" as a mascot could be a nice idea... Yes, could be. But I think an official mascot, possibly together with more involved branding, should be sought from the entire community. Many awesome artists out there! Maybe a contest?

TimeWaster -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Inkscape-devel] Contest Results and Developer Voting Date: 20.11.2016 02:36 From: Martin Owens <doctormo@...400...> To: inkscape-devel <inkscape-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> Dear developers, The about screen contest for 0.92 is complete and we have our three runner ups for us developers to choose from: https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/=about-screen-contest/contest-for-0 92+0 / Each of the three are marked as "Next Round", please email to the mailing list with your choices. Simply put your numbers in order of preference, so 3214 would mean 3 is my first choice, 2 is my second choice etc. You don't have to rank all numbers if you don't want to. You'll notice that I've chosen 4 items, this is because 1 and 3 are so similar and I wanted to give us a better choice. Thanks to all our artists and voters, I think this round has been really good. I actually voted for "Ngarai Sianok" and a lot of people loved "Freedom Machine" (see comments on those items). So I'll be adding a few of these to the website front page when 0.92 is released, to replace the current set of images.
