Logo Design for Weave - Contribution to an Open-Source Project #4

Repository

Details:

I found this cool project on GitHub which is about IOV Weave - a framework for quickly building custom ABCI applications to run a blockchain on top of the best-of-class BFT Proof-of-stake Tendermint consensus engine.

The way the owner describes it:

IOV Weave is a framework for quickly building your custom ABCI application to run a blockchain on top of the best-of-class BFT Proof-of-stake Tendermint consensus engine. It provides much commonly used functionality that can quickly be imported in your custom chain, as well as a simple framework for adding the custom functionality unique to your project.

Note: Requires Go 1.9+

It is inspired by the routing and middleware model of many web application frameworks, and informed by years of wrestling with blockchain state machines. More directly, it is based on the official cosmos-sdk, both the 0.8 release as well as the future 0.9 rewrite. Naturally, as I was the main author of 0.8.

While both of those are extremely powerful and flexible and contain advanced features, they have a steep learning curve for novice users. Thus, this library aims to favor simplicity over power when there is a choice. If you hit limitations in the design of this library (such as maintaining multiple merkle stores in one app), I highly advise you to use the official cosmos sdk.

On the other hand, if you want to try out tendermint, or have a design that doesn't require an advanced setup, you should try this library and give feedback, especially on ease-of-use. The end goal is to make blockchain development almost as productive as web development (in golang), by providing defaults and best practices for many choices, while allowing extreme flexibility in business logic and data modelling.

I wanted to support this project by designing a logo for it, so I asked the owner if I could contribute. After he agreed, I started brainstorming and after a while I decided to design three distinct shapes which would form the first letter of the project - W, in a twisting way, so as to represent the name. I sent the owner the variations after I was done, and he with the other members chose the one that fits their project best. If you would like to see the whole conversation, you can click here Issue #504.

After everything was done and the owner was very happy with how the logo looks, I sent them this Google Drive link which contains all the original files in all the necessary sizes in the following formats: .ai, .pdf, .svg, .jpeg, .psd and .png.
