From @VasantJ3 on May 10, 2018 5:38 Hello @Daniel-Mietchen , I am Vasant Joseph. I am a class 12 student. I have skills in designing(Photoshop, premiere pro), presentation, and anything which is given to me, which I can do. I am sincere to my work. If there is anything which I can do to help, please inform me. This is my first time at Mozilla global sprint. |

From @Daniel-Mietchen on May 10, 2018 12:12 Hi @VasantJ3 @Kevin-Wangome - thanks for pitching in here. We're about to get going on the US East coast. The logo above is nice but it refers to a typo (JFrost) rather than our initiative's shorthand (JROST) but I like it nonetheless, since the snowflake image could be seen as a representation of a landscape. So what about dropping the J from the above and accentuating the nodes and edges of the snowflake with slight variations of colour, size and shape to represent individual tools or infrastructures in the open science landscapes, and the connections between them? Slightly morphing the overall shape of the snowflake to something a bit less symmetrical (perhaps as seen from an angle) might also make sense. |
From @dwhly on May 10, 2018 13:25 Glad to see folks thinking about this, and happy to see what you might come up with! Here is the existing concept for convenience. (But pls don't feel constrained by this design!! |
From @Daniel-Mietchen on May 10, 2018 15:21 @dwhly Can you put that up as a SVG as well, perhaps via Wikimedia Commons again? |
As folks are designing, it might be helpful to consider how logos are often needed in various contexts and think through how your design would work in all cases:
In case it's helpful for folks, here are SVG files for the initial logo used by the Joint Roadmap for Open Science Tools. Note that this logo is very provisional, made so the project would have something to use quickly as it started. The "design" was simply the project's initials in the Noto Sans font currently used on the website. |

From @Daniel-Mietchen on May 11, 2018 10:27 @Kevin-Wangome that sounds great, but where can we see your new version? |
From @Kevin-Wangome on May 11, 2018 11:32 Which one of these do you feel looks good? On Fri, May 11, 2018 at 1:27 PM, Daniel Mietchen [email protected]

From @Daniel-Mietchen on May 11, 2018 11:56 @Kevin-Wangome I can't find anything like a logo to look at - please upload the images here or add links that point to them. |
From @Daniel-Mietchen on June 10, 2018 22:12 The interim logo has been proposed for deletion on Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:JROST_over_Stonehenge-01.png&oldid=305624775 . I left a comment there but perhaps we should take this as an indication to get back to working on this logo. |
From @dee-y on June 15, 2018 0:29 Hello @Daniel-Mietchen, I'm a graphic designer and i would love to make you a logo if you would have me. If you accept, I will make you a logo and it's free. |
That's a nice design! It conveys science and tools well. How do you see it conveying "open"? I think JROST is a ways away from adopting a logo however, for one because we are beginning to debate if we should expand our view beyond science to all of scholarship (changing the "S" in "JROST"), which would thus change the overall identity of the project and thus, its brand identity. It would be great if you'd be willing to pitch in again once things were more settled. |
Great! I would be waiting :)

One thing to think about during and after the sprint is how a JROST logo might look like.
The image we are currently using in this repo's README is just a very first shot at visualizing what it is that we are aiming at. It captures some aspects of the project but not others, and it is not very usable as a logo.
Another starting point is the initial logo used over at https://twitter.com/OpenSciRoadmap (see archive).
It is usable as a logo but basically does not capture anything about the ideas of open science, a roadmap and doing it jointly.
