Syncplay Design

Spent some time recently working on creating a new logo for the open source software Syncplay. My goal in mind was to create a new version of the logo that embraces a more modern and clean design while retaining and accentuating the original wing design. Furthermore I wanted to include some sort of play symbol to give the whole design a much easier visual understanding. One of the challenges I faced was that the logo had to work at even tiny resolutions of 16x16 pixels while also looking good with large word mark. The final design incorporates all of this!

This logo has been approved so far and is being introduced in the next major release. For those that don't know: Syncplay is an open source application that allows you to view videos and other media together with other people by syncing up media players.
