If you were at the GSoC mentor summit or the GitTogether last week, you
may seen Git stickers floating around. I printed 500, thinking there
would be some leftovers to distribute afterwards. But either git is very
popular, or somebody decided to re-wallpaper their bedroom, because we
ran out.

In case anybody wants to make their own git sticker (or whatever), I'm
providing the SVG that I sent to the printer. I ordered 2"x4" stickers,
but it's scalable, you should be able to do any size.

Credit where credit is due:

The logo is shamelessly stolen from one Sam Vilain made for GitTogether
t-shirts in 2008. It's really just the "---/+++" logo done in FreeMono
with a few pretty colors and outlines.  I have no idea who did the
original "---/+++" logo. It's awesome, but I couldn't find a nice
scalable version, hence this.

Yeah, git has been G-+ long before G+ ;)

I do prefer the rotated, vertically stacked +-G though (with + <-> t, -
<-> i, G <-> 3/4-circle with arrow). Good thing we don't have to argue
about an "official" logo...

It somehow reminds me of the OGC logo fiasco, though.

:)

While looking up "OGC logo fiasco" certainly was fun, I don't think that
our msysgit logo, e.g., is prone to wild fantasies' misinterpretation,
no matter the position, uhm, rotation:

http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/detail?name=gitlogo.svg

But maybe my fantasy is not wild enough.

Since I'm kind of a typography and design geek and I pretty much hate
the execution of current logos I've seen, I thought I'd give it a go
myself ;)

What do you think?

I actually don't like the stacked +-G (I find it hard to read).  But
since I was ordering the stickers, I got to decide. :)

I think it's clear that we don't want to get into an "official" logo
argument, though. I'll let whoever orders stickers next time make the
decision. :)
