A castle and medieval font to convey security and resilience
Use of a font with a distinctive R to help it appear as TAR-SNAP and not TARS-NAP
A monospaced font with underscores to convey that this for the UNIX command line
Subtle gold/silver colors that convey a history of widely acknowledged value and future longevity

- ape4 13y agoNot bad. I think that castle is somewhat busy for a logo.

- weaksauce 13y agoMaybe just the silhouette would work.
- tptacek 13y agoEvery time I hear the name "Tarsnap" I think of the long skinny dragons on heraldic crests, so I'm with you thematically. I think it's a bad idea to use a novelty display typeface for the name. Also, that typeface looks like something from a 1990s Front Line Assembly album. Also, any typeface you pick better mesh well with Times New Roman, because Colin can be trusted to set type in that. The castle will be hard to reproduce at different sizes, won't work at all in black and white, and is effectively clip art.
