"Made with Kicad" logo/badge?

The web page https://kicad.org/made-with-kicad/ is a nice showcase for projects designed with Kicad. I think it would be great if there was a “Made with Kicad” logo we could put on boards, and project web sites.

Anyone know of one? If not, would any graphic designers like to have a go creating one?

I tried some search foo on the font for the KiCAD logo, but got no where… anyone knows what font that is?

Also there is a thread on launchpad for the logo here:
https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg20002.html

The man to talk to would be Fabrizio it seems as he made the blue simplified version we see up here on the site, not the program icon in gold/bronze. I don’t think you intend to introduce yet another logo to the melee, right?

They have attached files in svg, which would be the minimum needed to modify anything.
In my FF they download as .bin - rename them to .svg to make them work.
Thing is, the font they used in those .svg’s isn’t very similar to what Fabrizio used…

Seems it’s called Tiresias LPfont Bold and it’s licensed under GPLv3+, nice.

Have fun creating guys :sunglasses:

FontSquirrel was helpful in finding it:

and here you go, my entry in 11x5 mm2 on F.Silk (without/with i-dot in copper):

This is how I did mine.
Just the KiCad logo with “Made with” text added separately.

I noticed new KiCad logos appeared in the GitHub symbols.pretty directory last week

Ha, nice. Should make it more popular that way :slight_smile:

As I’ve been made aware that the source I dug up for the font has vanished, here is the TTF-file I still had on my system:
