Fetch script logos

Kind of like this

Dylan•22d ago

I really liked this one:

Dylan•22d ago

It looks so good, and I like the layout a lot I wonder if similar can be done for bluefin maybe a simplified logo for it

Dylan•22d ago

Something like this, but with color maybe?

ascii-art.txt

Dylan•22d ago

I totally used a generator for that by the way

La Forge•22d ago

If you use jp2a, it will add color with the --color flag.

La Forge•22d ago

Oversized for over-emphasis

La Forge•22d ago

The user @nickname Just used this server emoji to react to a post I made, and I think it beats everything I've seen: :bluefin:

Dylan•21d ago

honestly, yeah. That's so much simpler

Dylan•21d ago

Check that out

La Forge•21d ago

I dig it. If we can refine the edges a bit, it'll look really sharp

Dylan•21d ago

Like that?

La Forge•21d ago

Hm. What's the highest rez image we have of that emoji?

La Forge•21d ago

I tried to recreate it but instead created a reverse mask, which admittedly looks pretty cool on its own

La Forge•21d ago

Translates very poorly to ascii and chafa

Dylan•21d ago

This is about as good as I think we're going to get

Dylan•21d ago

jp2a bluefin-silhouette.png --color --width=50 -i --color-depth=24 > logo and then I add a new line to the top of that file

Dylan•21d ago

logo

La Forge•21d ago

I'm gonna use the pen tool to manually cut it out and see if I can't get a good vector image to manipulate.

Update bluefin-logo to a silhouette version by dylanmtaylor · Pull ...

jp2a bluefin-silhouette.png --color --width=50 -i --color-depth=24 > logo and then I add a new line to the top of that file original file:

Dylan•21d ago

I wonder if I can make the color match

La Forge•21d ago

Oh def.

Dylan•21d ago

It's a HUGE improvement already

La Forge•21d ago

Cut out the image by hand so we have a vector

La Forge•21d ago

With fill and border

Dylan•21d ago

Check it:

Dylan•21d ago

The trick is this. "keys": "\u001b[38;2;107;121;232"

La Forge•21d ago

Looks pretty good.

Dylan•21d ago

Let me try with your version

La Forge•21d ago

I want to love it, but I feel like we're losing so much of the detail from the feathers

Dylan•21d ago

border didn't work well.

Dylan•21d ago

I mean we're limited to text...

La Forge•21d ago

For sure The border is an issue with the way the PNG is saving I think I reached the limit of my expertise for tonight. It's definitely progress, though. Thanks Dylan!

Dylan•21d ago

@j0rge What do you think of https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/pull/1196 ? I think this is a major improvement 🙂

feat: Update bluefin-logo to a silhouette version by dylanmtaylor ·...

with new colors: with old colors: jp2a bluefin-silhouette.png --color --width=50 -i --color-depth=24 > logo and then I add a new line to the top of that file original file:

j0rge•21d ago

yeah we kind of already ruled out the circle logo in favor of the dinos because each image has a dino specifically for it this is more what we're looking for aesthetically I think

Dylan•21d ago

The problem with the dinos is getting any reasonable level of detail in the terminal is nearly impossible you get maybe 50 pixels of width to work with so things get crunched together

La Forge•21d ago

I use a Street Fighter theme for my devices and a 40k primarch theme for my VMs. Using chafa, I've found that the closer that the original image is to a square, the better it translates, since it uses most of the space.

Dylan•21d ago

maybe we can do a profile shot of a dino like a square crop into the head so it's recongnizable

La Forge•21d ago

j0rge•21d ago

YEAH BBS STYLE That could work because I have more dinos coming

Dylan•21d ago

honestly, I love the dinos but the current logo and color in fastfetch isn't doing it for me lol

j0rge•21d ago

so we could just pick a style and do a ton of them and then we just set one during build time so it'll be like on a rotation

La Forge•21d ago

That's a fun idea.

Dylan•21d ago

well if you look at mine, I matched the color for the output to the dino color would look odd if they don't match

La Forge•21d ago

bluefin1,2,3, etc. Each a bust with a different expression

Dylan•21d ago

tbh, I think this looks great.

Dylan•21d ago

We can always merge and improve later 😉

j0rge•21d ago

but let's wait until m2 is around to get consensus since he did the initial work and we're not going to rip it out without investigating options. And he's in bed and so am I, gnight all!

Dylan•21d ago

That's fair, and like 90% of his work is still in use

La Forge•21d ago

Night! Thanks so much for this project, Jorge. I've been evangelizing it nonstop. It's solved so much for my household alone.

j0rge•21d ago

yeah the issue with that circle logo which is the favicon is that it looks like a distro logo everyone has these

j0rge•21d ago

Dylan•21d ago

They probably all do logos like that because realistically it looks great

j0rge•21d ago

it's like the same boring pattern, show me something awesome, 40k, dinosaur, a beagle, literally anything other than a logo anyway that's where I stand on the neofetch thing, especially since we're going to have a zoo's worth of raptors over time.

La Forge•21d ago

Portraits are really fun in this format. And they show up well over ssh

j0rge•21d ago

oh hell yes full ANSI BBS days, love to see it

La Forge•21d ago

ssh -t user@perturabo "fastfetch; fish"

j0rge•21d ago

"Make it look like Razor 1911, but with dinosaurs and linux" seems like a nice strategy to me

La Forge•21d ago

The first half of that sentence is a time machine.

legit my childhood

Dylan•21d ago

that's super cool I still think the favicon works really well for a fetch script. We can agree to disagree there...

Dylan•21d ago

Trying something... using a portrait as a "logo"

Dylan•21d ago

now, here's the issue with that -- it becomes completely unrecognizable

Dylan•21d ago

just looks like a blob.

La Forge•21d ago

With ascii, for sure

La Forge•21d ago

If chafa is reasonably allowed, it looks pretty sweet

Dylan•21d ago

Ah, yeah, that's pretty cool. what did you do to generate that? can you share the command? Is it literally just chafa dino.png?

Dylan•21d ago

Huh... how about that.

Dylan•21d ago

Matching color.

Dylan•21d ago

You know what? I love it...

Dylan•21d ago

Alright, check https://github.com/ublue-os/bluefin/pull/1196. Wayyyy better 🙂

M2 deserves most of the credit, I just played with GIMP and chafa and tweaked the color slightly to reduce eye bleed 🙂 And La Forge came up with the awesome idea of using chafa in the first place couldn't have done it without you guys but man is that great

𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘮•21d ago

FYI you can also integrate full-res images into the fetch prompt at least with some fetch configs, using sixels or other terminal image protocols

Dylan•21d ago

Yes, but hand-tuning them looks better and I can't figure out why fastfetch doesn't handle transparency right when just passing in the image

j0rge•21d ago

that looks baller! where'd the neofetch symlink go though?

La Forge•20d ago

Which one are you referencing?

j0rge•20d ago

the neofetch command is gone, it was symlinked to fastfetch before

La Forge•20d ago

I found it in

/etc/profile.d/bluefin-fastfetch.sh

/etc/profile.d/bluefin-fastfetch.sh

Dylan•19d ago

neofetch symlink to fastfetch is bad UX. users shouldn't run one fetchscript and get another entirely

j0rge•19d ago

no one knows what fastfetch is it's a convenience symlink, we're doing that in lots of places neofetch is unmaintained, no one is going to say "but I wanted real neofetch" our ls isn't going to be ls our cd isn't going to be cd and eventually we're swapping out all the coreutils

Dylan•18d ago

swapping ls and cd will probably break lots of shell scripts and muscle memory I suppose eza might be okay, but I worry it could cause unintended side effects

Dylan•18d ago

Anyways, damn this looks good now. I think it has a small bug though -- it only shows the one dino even if I run it a bunch of times
