C3: C3 needs a logo

Here's my initial attempt, which I've currently set as the org logo. Note that I've only done so as a temporary measure and am in no way sold on it.

Here's my attempt. C letter represents the donut chart and 3 (III) denotes bar chart.

Do y'all mind if I share this issue a few places? It could be a great beginner issue for someone with some design skills.

Contributions are welcome!

@kt3k (and others). I'd love to work on a logo (and, sidenote, I've actually been looking for a tool like C3, so thanks for making it!). Lightening question round (these are silly but helpful to the process):

1. Three verbs to describe C3:
2. Two adjectives to describe C3:
3. Name one color:
4. Up, Down, or sideways?
5. Solid, malleable, or liquid?
6. Round, Rectangle, or sharp?

Looking forward to it!

Here's a quick mock-up of one idea:

And the same with various colors you've used for the charts:

I have some others in draft form, but any feedback you could provide would be helpful (along with the lightening round questions above). Thanks!

Thanks for the quick work!

I collected the opinions of other maintainers. Here're our answers for the above questions.

• Three verbs to describe C3:
  
  
  
  • visualize, show, inspire
  
  
• Two adjectives to describe C3:
  
  
  
  • flexible, simple
  
  
• Name one color:
  
  
  
  • blue(ish)
  
  
• Up, Down, or sideways?
  
  
  
  • Sideway
  
  
• Solid, malleable, or liquid?
  
  
  
  • Either is fine, but not too solid
  
  
• Round, Rectangle, or sharp?
  
  
  
  • Either is fine, but not complicated one
  
  

Thanks!

Thanks for the comments! Will look into working on them. Another question: why does the "quick" design above not work? (This will help me clarify future versions as well)!

Thanks!

I don't think the above doesn't work. I like its simple and static tone! (See the reactions on your comment!) If I have to point one thing, that very unequal handling of c and 3 looked a bit odd to me because we consider "c3" as a single word and it feels a little hard to read as c3 (escpecially if the logo is resized small).
