Help me choose the new WatermelonDS logo!

Help me choose the new WatermelonDS logo!

Hi everyone!

Now that the project has officially moved from melonDualDS to WatermelonDS, I also want to finalize one of the most important parts of the new identity:

the new logo.

My artist has been working on several logo concepts,  and before I make the final choice, I’d really like to hear what you think:

This post is public because I want to hear opinions from everyone, but I also want to mention something important:

Paid Patrons will have a little more weight in the final decision, as a small benefit for directly supporting the project.  That does not mean public opinions do not matter. They absolutely do and will be part of the decision. 

What I am looking for

I want the new WatermelonDS logo to feel:

• Clean

• Recognizable

• Fun

• Easy to identify at a small size

• Good as an app icon

• Good and strong as a project identity

• Visually connected to the WatermelonDS name

Some concepts are more playful, some are more minimal, and some are more expressive.

What kind of feedback helps most?

If possible, I would especially love feedback about:

• Which logo looks best at a glance

• Which one would be easiest to recognize on a handheld or phone screen

• Which one feels more polished

• Which one feels more unique

• Which one best represents WatermelonDS

Final note:

This is not necessarily a pure popularity contest. I will also consider readability, usability, and how well the logo works as a real app icon.But your feedback will absolutely help me make the final choice.

Thank you all for helping shape the identity of WatermelonDS.

I am really excited to finally give the project its own visual identity!!
