Freies Labor logo

A hackerspace in a neighboring city, the Freies Labor in Hildesheim, contacted me and asked if I could design them a new logo.

Well, absolutely! :) After brainstorming with some of the hackerspace’s members, we ended up with an idea involving Lissajous curves, a family of curves created by sending two sine waves on the x- and y-axis of an oscilloscope. The concrete logo depicts a Lissajous curve with a frequency ratio of 2:3.

Here’s the basic form of the logo, for use on dark and light backgrounds:

License

The creator, blinry, allows free use of the logo for everything and everyone, as long as the usage is related to the hackerspace Freies Labor in Hildesheim.

Typeface

The font is Gidolinya, a modern DIN by Andreas Larsen, dual licensed under the MIT License and the SIL Open Font License 1.1. I added some weight to the individual glyphs.

The logo would also go well with Gidole by the same author.

Variants

There is an extra-fancy version for special occasions:

A header for the blog:

A square avatar for use in social networks, which snuggly fits inside a circle, and a square version for the wiki:

And finally, there’s a multi-resolution favicon.
