# Iris logos | ||
|
||
[](iris-logo-title.svg) | ||
|
||
Code for generating the logos is at: | ||
[SciTools/marketing/iris/logo/generate_logo.py](https://github.com/SciTools/marketing/blob/master/iris/logo/generate_logo.py) | ||
|
||
See the docstring of the `generate_logo()` function for more information. | ||
|
||
## Why a scripted logo? | ||
|
||
SVG logos are ideal for source-controlled projects: | ||
|
||
* Low file size, with infinitely scaling quality | ||
* Universally recognised vector format, editable by many software packages | ||
* XML-style content = human-readable diff when changes are made | ||
|
||
But Iris' logo is difficult to reproduce/edit using an SVG editor alone: | ||
|
||
* Includes correctly projected, low resolution coastlines | ||
* Needs precise alignment of the 'visual centre' of the iris with the centres | ||
of the Earth and the image | ||
|
||
An SVG image is simply XML format, so can be easily assembled automatically | ||
with a script, which can also be engineered to address the above problems. | ||
|
||
Further advantages of using a script: | ||
|
||
* Parameterised text, making it easy to standardise the logo across all Iris | ||
packages | ||
* Can generate an animated GIF/SVG of a rotating Earth |
