Heath: I read the feedback on v1;
valid comments!
... I took some notes
... in the first three of V2 I play with WP
... I then explore more abstract shapes, around coins and
wallets (and that can be animated)
... e.g., I would like to open the wallet
... but I can see more classic colors
#005A9C
^^^W3C blue
Heath: Colors are variable; black
and white shows what stands out
... Thinking more about duality: Merchants and Vendors
... 5 and later logos are more thoughtful on that front
... 5 is infinity / W
... with 2 colors
... 6 relates to stacks of coins
... what I like about this is it is almost like a globe
... gold at the center
... currency making the world go round
... 2 colors representing merchants / users
... 7 is simple; has "card" feel and "wallet" feelt
... 9 two wallets
... 10 bee-like; pollination
Eiji: I like B3 the most
... it looks good :)
... but if I had to choose a second it would be B4
... I think it is abstract and also familiar as a wallet
... I think the other ones don't evoke wallets for me
... maybe B7 with some modifications
Dean: The concern for me with
letter combinations is both WordPress and
internationalization
... for B4 I initially saw it as a letter box
... I like B9
... could transform B9 into a single wallet with some things
inside
... I would not associated B10 (the bee) with payments
... so I would choose B9 but just one wallet
Eiji: I like B9 as well
... if I were to change B9 I would add a stripe to make it look
more card-like
IJ: I like the idea of wallet imagery; opening wallet
"Opening up your wallet to the world"
scribe: suggests "potential" ;
web (globe)
... combo of ideas of wallet + globe
... opening up your wallet to global commerce
Heath: One challenge of globe
emerging from wallet is it looks like a person reading
... with B4
... my main concern is that it will read much smaller
Eiji: I like the direction of
using a wallet
... maybe we can try different variations of wallet
shapes
... and see if ideas emerge from those
Ian: +1
IJ: Do people agree with wallet? Is that useful guidance?
Heath: Yes.
... I can dig in and explore
With B4 I can look more closely at the stripe; play with colors
scribe: with B9 I hear interest
in the angle
... and "one wallet"
IJ: "Things emerging"
... another is "embedded in a circle
... like a door opening
... into the circle (globe/web)
Watch words now include:
* Opening
* Global
* Wallet
IJ: I think it's a good sign that those feel closer to the work
Heath: Yes, opening doors to
global economy; making it easy
... Any colors people gravitate towards?
IJ: B6 had "too many colors"
Eiji: I wonder whether "leather" color would help with connection to wallet
IJ: We should not use "green" for money; that's e.g., US-centric
Eiji: I also think that showing a
wallet by itself doesn't mean it can exchange money
... it's like a "ledger"; by itself it does not suggest
exchanging/giving/receiving money
... so maybe something additional to represent "exchange"
Can people meet on 18 October?
Heath: Let's meet sooner
Proposed: 15 October at 10am ET (same time as today)
<scribe> ACTION: Ian to send meeting invitations with WebEx links for Monday call
Heath: I welcome more feedback!
B5 could become outline of folding rectangle for more wallet approach
