Connected Humber Logo

This might surprise you, but I’m now a director of a company. We’ve set up Connected Humber CIC as a way of formalising things that we have previously been doing just for fun. Expect to hear more about this going forwards.

Of course a company needs a logo. So I’ve been playing with Inkscape,. The word on the street is that the word on the street needs to be in vector format so that you can draw it on the side of a building if required (although I think this will probably not ever be needed). If you use pixels for a design you can only make the image bigger by making the pixels bigger and that just ends up looking poor.

So I’ve been learning about SVG (Scaleable Vector Graphics) and getting my head around yet another user interface. Inkscape isn’t too bad to use, and after a bit of fiddling I’ve come up with the above. I could give you lots of artistic rationale for the design, you could say it represents the sun of technology rising above a seascape. However, I just did it this way because I think it looks nice.
