The Telescope logo is here!

Originally this had should be a super funny page, but I lost the original file and therefore this page will be pretty short and synthetic!

In 2021 I promised to GMID and Telescope author that I would help out with a logo for this amazing Gemini TUI client, and after a really long time I was able to deliver it!

Telescope official page

There you go

Check out the final but not definitive version:

Telescope Logo

Quick facts

Here some facts:

the idea was originally presented by OP;
the logo was made with ♥ + Inkscape 1.1 & 1.2;
this is not the very final version though, the source file hasn't released yet therefore I am holding all the ownership for the graphic till the release day.

Left to do

Probably I will fix something later, this is the to-do-list:

making some improvements, there still some tiny defects;
preparing a low-res version;
releasing the SVG file and assign a clear license.

The evolution of the logo in five images

A visual history of Telescope evolution:

1. The draft

2. The first version

3. Inkscape environment and the second version

4. The flat version without effects

5. The final version

Wrapping this up

It is a shame that I lost my original gemlog file it was way more funny and engaging than this one, that event really froze my desire to write this page... ☹
