@WinstonSepruko, Thank you so much stepping up!!!! It means a lot to me. So you want to redesign the logo, right? I don't plan to change the UI drastically. The future UI will be similar how it is now. Little tweaks that's it. It would be great if can come up with a redesigned logo (or even polish the current one). P.S. That art is dope 🔥🔥🔥! |
How am I supposed to know! It would be better if the grid is based on 1024 px and logo is done in vector art instead of rastor art (pls use AI and not PS). I tried something but something but it wasn't good enough.
Visual Studio automatically scales and transforms a single logo to match multiple dimensions and layouts. So, a vector logo would be enough. And also don't forget to provide monochrome (one in black and one in white) variants of it. Tray icon (i.e. 16px) requires some special treatment. I had to do pixel arts for 16px, 24px and 32px icons. Do you know any shortcuts? Could we use just the vector logo and workaround it? |
|
Ok, keep me and others updated with your progress. Please ask our contributors and active users for their opinions and try to improve your design. Thanks for helping us out! I'll never forget your help ❤️. |
|
I think the logo is low priority for now, current one looks ok. But rest of the ui, i agree ui/ux designer help would be great. With regards to you doodle @WinstonSepruko, if you want to redesign the logo perhaps see if you can come up with more of an evolution of our current one. My personal opinion is that the doodle above is a bit too busy and wont scale down well. With that being said, thanks so much @WinstonSepruko for your help |
|
Hi @WinstonSepruko, |
|
Yeah, this won't look good scaled down. You would need to simply it further more. |
|
Imagine how "good" it will look on my 1366x768 built-in laptop monitor. The logo need to be stripped down. You can try any kind of combos. Mess with it in what ever way you like. But keep this in mind, logo should be as simple and meaningful as possible. This one look hella cool. But for the tray icon it won't even be visible. It'll just be a blob. That's why I'm worried. |
|
What should our logo mean is something that makes our brain overheat. It must convey the right message. The current one conveys:
Your redesign seems to convey the same meaning expect it shows media flyout as the lead. What about being either more inclusive (include airplane mode and lock keys flyouts) or being simple and generic (not tied to any specific flyout module)? Could you try that? |
The banner that would be made for the app should be inclusive, while the app icon should be mainly generic, or like how it shows the slider currently without telling which flyout it is. |
|
@WinstonSepruko, Re-designing doesn't mean building from ground up. You can also change the colour schemes, fills, dimensions, shadows and etc. I'm sorry for making you redo the work again 😅. I do know how time consuming it is to get the right art. This is what I tried before dropping the idea and leaving it to professionals. My redesign Current But people started to nit-pick (looking at you @Cyberdroid1) and said it "wasn't good enough". Give your shot! |
|
See, Gradient effect does not look good. That too of White. The icon should be friendly for both light and dark mode viewers. |
|
Just stating my presence. I'm a designer/developer who was actually considering starting a project that would have been extremely similar to this one, until someone pointed out this project's existence. |
|
HI @GSonofNun, welcome to ModernFlyouts. You are more than welcome to get involved with this project. It would be great to have someone with lots of design experience. We are accepting all ideas and contributions. |
|
@GSonofNun Do you have any ideas for the logo or flyouts? |
|
I'm more of a UI/UX designer so, I might be able to contribute more in that space. |
|
One more! (Honestly, it looks like a honeycomb in smaller sizes) |
|
Why are we sticking to just blue colors? Why not grey, black, white also? |
|
Your redesign looks just like my redesign 🤣.
Thank you mate! We have @WinstonSepruko, taking care of the logo. So, it would be great if you could take care of other parts. No offense 😅. Just splitting up tasks since you said you're more experienced in UX/UI design. |
|
Hey! |
|
Thank you so much pal! So, what we basically need are some redesigned mockup designs of some parts of the app (see the listed issues). We have some UX issues. We would need your mockups to solve those issues. We need a professional's guidance in designing to eliminate existing and future UX/UI issues. It would be great if your mockups abide the Fluent Design Language guidances. You can also revamp any parts of the app's UX/UI that you consider is not good. |
Okay, tomorrow I will study this question and send some results |
|
@venhryk it would really great if you can join the discord/telegram group (discord more preferred for this stuff) and share the samples there! |
This is probably my favorite one out of the options. I would probably make it smaller when applied as a taskbar icon though. |
Hi. A new logo will replace this icon. Guys don't like it much. |
|
I was thinking about how every icon has the same style. I know its fluent design and all of the concepts above are great but it all blends in to the OS fluent style. While using the native design language is great i was thinking why not do something that will stand out and not be dull. Modern flyouts is an app that stands out its like a part of windows from another better reality where windows actually had features we all wanted. I was thinking the new icon can have same layout which represents the app well but without colors or any depth or such that are parts of Fluent UI and instead use a new design language focusing on simplicity and minimalism yet conveying a lot of information at a simple glance Introducing the Doodle UI version of modern flyouts icon: Doodle UI is a new design language I created while writing this comment thinking about how I could contribute as I'm not an experienced UI/UX icon designer. Doodle UI is supposed to represent everything thats not Fluent, something that stands out and is noticeable. Something that is memorable. Doodle UI invokes the primitive mind of humanity creating a new feeling that connects with the user. Doodle UI is accessible with a blank canvas that doesnt overload the user and is visually appealing to all. Doodle UI is so simple infect that even non experienced UI/UX designers like myself can utilize it to create professional class icons for real life world applications. This is all I have to say about Doodle UI and my icon contribution using a new unique style. (note this isnt serious) |
|
While I appreciate your ideology and the design, our app stands as a replacement for a feature of windows, so blending it in should be an important step, so that after installing and using it for some time, you would feel like it is an inseparable aspect of the OS. |
considering how inconsistent the OS is I think that the icon should have a touch of Fluent, Metro, Aero and legacy designs to represent the operating system as it is. but in all seriousness a monochrome icon might be good because all of the utilities in windows use monochrome icons a fluent icon would stand out even more |
|
A monochrome icon for where? The app logo? |
system tray is probably better for monotone icon and app icon can be fluent then |
|
There is already an option for monochrome icon for the system tray. Have a look in the settings. |
|
|
Maybe a more "outlined" icon would look better
|
Which app language are you using? You got a bug, thanks! |
Agreed. Can you help us with it? 😁 |
get out the crayons boys, we're making a logo |
|
How about something like this for the tray icon?
|
Glad you like it!! |

I have a discord! It'd be easier to send it there.

Discord server is mentioned in the README if you'd like to join. |
I thought about this model also, but I want it without underline, I will also work it out morrow |
|
I made a little doodle today w/ adobe XD (Yes, i know it is supposed to be on Illustrator but i am broke af) |
|
It looks good when big but on my 13' inch built-in display, well... it looks so tiny that i don't even know what it is. |
|
I love it |
We need a UI/UX/Logo designer to help us design the UI, UX and Logo of our app. (For free lol, we can't spend any money right now)
Our current team consists of beginner programmers who are not experienced in designing.
Our current design is either stolen or not pleasing.
And the current logo is also poopy.
We're currently struggling with some design issues.
They are listed below: (some require mockup designs to start the actual implementation and some need updating)
If anyone know any designers personally, ask them if they're willing to help us.
If there are some designers out there who wants to contribute to this open source project, please express your presence commenting on this thread.
If you also want to modify other parts of the app's UI, you can do that too.
And if anyone wants to design us a new logo, you're absolutely welcomed.
Please consider helping us.
