CodeIgniter 4 Logo

Because the framework was completely rewrote, the logo could be also completely redone. It means the restrictions from 25th August are contraproductive. Ignitedcms came with his idea and I came with mine. We should not look at new logo from programmers point of view, but as graphic designers. New logo will be half success of new CodeIgniter version. Do not underestimate it. That is why big companies spending millions on branding.

We need logo, which tells newcomers that CodeIgniter is new, fresh and professional. Just look at Laravel's homepage. It is worth 2019. And that is what selling (not for the money) project. For code you spent years. For new logo we should spent at least months. When we considering the new ideas, we should not ask if it will be easily applicable to the existed materials, but what will be newcomers perceptions about it. Will they have good feeling and give us a try or will they look somewhere else, where they have all the cool stuff?
