We Need a Logo for the Community, Thoughts?

[xee5ch]

Hello everyone, time to move forward with building the community, and that means building a shared identity. That means it's branding time! I used Inkscape to throw something together and I pushed it up in a PR for #14 (until I finish uploading the code for the website itself and finishing #5, but one step at a time 😆).

How did I do this?

1. I went to SVG Repo and found a CC0 piece of security-related content, a shield with a checkmark. I feel this is a nice start for a concept with approachable symbolism.
2. I colored it red on the left side for offensive security operations and all my offsec friends.
3. I colored it blue on the right side for defensive security operations for all by defense peeps.
4. I colored the purple to fuse the two together.

After all, purple security is a concept, not a teaming arrangement. We are not a team, but a community. But for me OSCAL is a means to better achieve communication through different security stakeholders to meet compliance objectives, so I will start with that.

Here is the example PNG at 32 pixels, but you can look at that commit for the SVG and the PNGs at different sizes too. It should come to the compiled website content shortly, if not already.

What do others think? Do they have other suggestions?

Quick update, I am working with a trusted friend to teach me to make a less ugly version of this with the color gradients. I hope people will tell me if they love it or hate it, feedback needed!
