Hello!

I am working with logo variations for a t-shirt.

I just noticed that the spacing of the lambdas is not consistent. One can even see it just by eye, for example, the space between the left lambda and the top left lambda is greater than the space between the top left lambda and the top right lambda.

I would gladly do a PR on this, and I would then try to keep it as true to the original as possible. One shouldn't really notice the difference at all, unless one reall looks at the spacing specifically.

Would this be appreciated? Or is the exact spacing "final", so to speak?

hm ok i just noticed that the svg files apparently are generated from the scad files. so this might be due to floating point errors from the calculations.

i will think of a solution.

Hello @zmberber

It would be helpful if you specified exactly which files you are referencing. I assume it's one of the SVG files under the logo directory. I created the current scad files independently from SVG files. The SVG files are created from Inkscape. I believe the SVG files had previously been used to create the scad files and I noticed there were small floating point differences. Although I don't think they'd be large enough that you would notice if it was printed on a T-shirt.

ok, let's forget the t-shirts, i just want to make the logo better (not in design, but in implementation).

i checked the scad files, it doesn't seem like they use the same proportions, actually. i am measuring stuff.

this is what the scad generates

and i am currently measuring the svg files:

in the latter, i am trying to find out which areas have a padding and which ones don't. also the proportions.

i won't go into detail, but one thing i noticed is:

  • the scad files have a sort of 9 to 7 ratio going on from the outer side of the long leg of the lambda to the inner side of it, with a bit of the top of the lambda "cut off" as padding, which is what the scad file refers to as "gap" (which is very confusingly implemented
  • the svg files seem to have a sort of 8 to 6 (4/3) ratio going on, but the padding is kind of weird. i am trying to find where there is padding and how (there is maybe some sort of hidden padding somewhere)

once i have figured everything out, i would like to make more easily understandable svg files with guides, as well as a nicer scad file.
