Hi Cormullion :),

Are you interested in starting on the 2025 templates and graphics (or continuing at all)?

Best,

Yes I'd love to contribute to JuliaCon2025 in some/any way - I can't contribute much to Julia code itself, so having a minor role is very rewarding for me... :)

Are you having any kind of review/post-mortem (bad name for a great event) about our efforts? I've seen no feedback so don't know how it went. (By the way, I was thinking the JuliaCon website could do with an overhaul - unfortunately I'm not much of a web developer (I can just criticize from a safe distance though...) )

Do you have any thoughts on a JuliaCon Global 2025 logo? Something Pittsburgh specific? Cc @rkurchin

[cormullion]

I must be honest and say I know nothing about Pittsburgh... So any hints or suggestions would be welcome... !

[cormullion]

Pittsburgh is defined by many things, most notably its colors of Black & Gold. (https://pittsburghpa.gov/pittsburgh/flag-seal)

[rkurchin]

Black and gold for sure! Some other notable visuals around the city include:

• Three Sisters bridges
• the funnicular railroads, in particular the Duquesne Incline
• the city skyline
• presuming the venue does end up being some combination of Pitt and CMU, there are some iconic things on the campuses as well, such as the Cathedral of Learning, the Pausch Bridge, or The Fence

@rkurchin Thanks - I’ll indulge in a bit of armchair tourism! 😀

[cormullion]

Not very original, but OK-ish-looking...

the bridges

gold border needs more forging

Another bridge

I tried something with the awesome 'cathedral' building, but not sure if it works:

Something a little more quirky:

a simple array

a badge

bridge-y graphics

Hey @cormullion Thank you so much for putting these together :). Asking the committee which they prefer rn (sorry for the extremely extended reply, very busy semester)!

[cormullion]

More ideas and suggestions welcome - need some more inspiration 😀

[rkurchin]

I really like the one on the left in the last set...is there a way we can get the black and gold into the bridge motif maybe?

Also, it sort of looks like there's a spellcheck underline on Pittsburgh?
