Talk:Light bulb and butterfly

Color Scheme Can Be Drastically Improved

The design looks great but the color is a blue that is too commonplace, so it contradicts the creativity message intended by the light bulb figure. Perhaps use some orange to have some continuity with the previous logo and have a more unique color? With freemind being about creativity, it makes more sense to have a bold, imaginative color scheme in the logo using some less commonly used colors, like orange, pistachio green, or any one of the millions of colors available.

The default colors in freemind are generally great, except there is too much commonplace blue everywhere.

I liked the mind map in the background of the title logo as it did show what it was used for. The color scheme is a little common place, but sometimes common place can be re-assuring.

There's a reason that pretty sky-blue color is so popular these days: it's soothing, entiticing and screams "Web 2.0" - which is a good thing. I think, either way, the new look is 1,000 times better than the old. Well done.

The colors are fine on the new logo, but what I like is the imagery. It's obviously a light bulb, but with a pi symbol (the element) and a circle (the bulb) tied to it. Very cool.

For me the bulb is to technical, mathematical. I'd like to encourage you guys to re-design the butterfly and give up the bulb. From the design view, the warm colors are much better and I think you can have more success using the butterfly. Re-designing is good, but watch out not to leave the track. In your case perhaps redesign means a more abstract version of the butterfly (for example: I don't understand why you use two differnet Icons? The Splashscreen and the document icon?). "Free" is the butterfly, not the bulb which stands for "idea" ...
