So a while back somebody suggested a logo that literally was 50% Snap and 50% Scratch. I tried my hand at that suggestion today to see how it looked, and I’m not sure how it turned out, but here it is:
Unfortunately, on a purple background the contrast suffers:
I devised a gradient to counteract that, however.
Here’s a mockup of the logo in the editor:
And, of course, here’s the gradient version without a background colour.
Not saying that the current logo should be changed, just remembered that not everyone was happy with it, so I thought I’d give this a shot.
PS: Yes, the design is meant to be a play on the name - the logo is “split”.
PPS: There is precedent for a black gradient behind the logo - that’s what Snap did in early versions when the top bar was grey.
