There is a lightning under the c.
Lightnings are fast C is light and fast → lightnings.
The level lines indicate the center of acados is close to optimality.
The lightnings are still satisfying the constraints.
we want to thank everyone for their submissions and brainstorming on this topic
Yesterday, Katrin and I designed a new logo and are very happy with the result.
We hope you all like it too, here it is
It fulfills all the criteria mentioned below, but lacks squareness.
However, it comes with a square variant which can be used for purposes with strict squareness requirements, such as favicons.
It looks great on black and white background which can be seen on the new themed documentation page.
The gradient effect from dark purple to light blue suggests progression which is resembled within acados in different aspects
the continuous development of extensions and algorithmic features
the performance improvements when deploying fast optimal control to a real-world system
the idea of “convergence over time” in the widely used real-time iteration algorithm and its advanced-step extensions.
The icon preceding the text resembles a fast forward symbol . It symbolizes speed, progress and forward movement. This aligns perfectly with the highly efficient solvers in the software.
The fast forward symbol is composed of two play buttons. This connection plays with the design efforts to make acados easy to use. Matlab users might associate it with running their first “getting started” example by just pressing play .
We hope that you like the new logo as much as we do and encourage you to include it when presenting your acados featured work.
Some branded acados swag is coming up, we are planning to print some stickers and the likes.
