Identity
========
The name "haven" merely hints at motivations and otherwise isn't of any
practical significance other than that we need an identifier. (This time
I resisted using something offensive for personal amusement.)
A logo covering the entire project is not needed and it seems hard to figure out
anything meaningful anyway, though we might pick a specific font to use for the
project's name <1>.
__
<2> _/ /_ <1> | _ _ _ _
\ _ \ |/ \ / \| \ / /_\ |/ \
/ / / / | | | | \ / | | |
/_/ /_/ | | \_/| \/ \_/ | |
That being said, if any symbol is deeply desired, a simple "h" <2> or "hvn"
could work. I'm not sure where I took this "h" letter styling from, it seems
too familiar. The above illustrations also show how awful it looks when a logo
is just a stylized version of the first letter of a name when you put the two
next to each other. Distinctly redundant. Facebook and Twitter are doing fine,
though, perhaps because they do not use them together like that.
Mascots
-------
I can think of two kinds of mascots that would bring me joy: an anime-style
character, or a My Little Pony OC. The color scheme would be mostly grayscale,
with something like shades of orange thrown in.
Either of the two choices is hard to draw for me if I don't want to infringe on
someone else's copyright, so I might have to find someone else to do it.
Eventually. Priorities lie elsewhere.
