minimal project logo

[moritz-gross]

As most software projects have a minimal logo for repository preview on GitHub and browser tabs etc. (like the Kubernetes wheel, the Python snake, ...),
I think it makes sense to also have this for MathCAT.

I just iterated on a few ideas and really like the cat ears made out of pseudo-Braille ;)

This is just a first draft of course, I mainly want to bring this up as a point of discussion.

<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
    <rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="#ffffff" />

    <g fill="#7a7a7a" transform="translate(0,-10)">
        <!-- Left Ear -->
        <g id="Left-Ear">
            <circle cx="13" cy="35" r="5.5" />
            <circle cx="13" cy="59" r="5.5" />

            <circle cx="29" cy="47" r="5.5" />
            <circle cx="29" cy="71" r="5.5" />
        </g>

        <!-- Right Ear -->
        <g id="Right-Ear">
            <circle cx="71" cy="47" r="5.5" />
            <circle cx="71" cy="71" r="5.5" />

            <circle cx="87" cy="35" r="5.5" />
            <circle cx="87" cy="59" r="5.5" />

Using braille dots is clever, but my first impression is that does not bring to mind a cat, or its ears. Maybe another row of dots for whiskers might help. Or something to hint at a face/head underneath to get some context for the ears.

[moritz-gross]

yes I'll try some variations later maybe.
As browser tab icons are pretty small, we'll have to be careful not to overdo it.
maybe just the whiskers might be good too.
