Hey everybody,
So I just found Allegro yesterday (Allegro5 to be exact) after a month
long adventure with SDL. The main reason I ignored Allegro in the past
is that it a) looked back then quite inactive, from the DOS day and it
has a hideous logo.
That might sound weird, but keep in mind how many people judge things
that way. It's like when you buy a book and you have no idea what
you're looking for. In that case title and cover play a really
important role.
Anyways. Allegro5 is really a huge improvement over SDL from what I can
see so far and I'm currently in the process of switching over to it. I
thought I might be able to contribute something and did some playing
around with creating a new logo that looks a little bit more timeless
(the current one looks straight from 1995).
From what I've heard on the IRC channel I'm not the first to bring up a
logo proposal, so I am well prepared for that thing not being considered
as logo replacement. However if you do want modifications, I am happy
to attempt to improve it.
The font is currently "Espinosa Nova Regular". That particular cut can
be obtained for free from myfonts.com which I think is a good thing for
an open source project.
Here some versions:
