Node JS Logos

Yamikuronue

This game purports to rate your knowledge, but it stands better I think as a demonstration of how awful some of the logos are in the NodeJS community. I mean, many of these evoke nothing at all!

JavaScript Guessing Game - You don't know JavaScript

You know there are too many JS libraries when there is a game for it.

Like seriously, what?

I wish, I wish...

On the subject of the test... 5/104? But...there weren't 104 questions! So... 5 whats? Just...

Well... at least the test is as clear as the logos?

Yamikuronue

@Onyx said in Node JS Logos:

There are 104 logos, but the game ends as soon as you get one wrong. Just like NodeJS terminates as soon as you look at it weird.

I see... Well, the second round I got was 1. Since it's definitely not my ecosystem I was trying to guess based on name and... whatever I could find, really. Some of them kinda made sense, some of them I guessed by color or whatever...

Do note that the score of 5 included at least 2 of the logos that actually had text in them...

I love those. Those are clear and concise.

It's also pretty easy to tell that, for example, an M with puppet strings stands for Marionette.

But some of them... WTF?

Or consider this:

One of those is Redux, one is Atom, one is Ionic, and one is Electron. You tell me which ones.

I've been trying for a few minutes, my best score is currently 25.

I'm pretty sure most of the devs found an image they liked first and then added 'js' to the end of its name.

Also, the image that looks like a plane propeller is not for one called 'flight'. Of course.

I'm sure it's much cleaner and more maintainable when you're using 104 Javascript frameworks.

I'll buttume Electron is the last one... Redux might be the third since it's not actually an atom, though that might just be a poor rendition...

Beyond that, I'll say Atom is the first and Ionic being the second, going by elimination and the fact that I actually did use Atom on occasion (though theme icon might be messing that up).

Whether I guessed this or not, any success is only due to context.

@Onyx said in Node JS Logos:

Wrong.

Answers:

Atom, Electron, Redux, Ionic.

Onyx

@Yamikuronue said in Node JS Logos:

Wrong.

THAT'S ELECTRON?

THIS IN NOT HOW YOU PHYSICS, YOU IDIJSOTS!

Yamikuronue

@Onyx said in Node JS Logos:

THAT'S ELECTRON?

It's the framework behind Atom, so I think they just derivative-logo'd it instead of making sense.

aliceif

100% memorization (and some guesswork).

Not bad for someone who doesn't do Javascript.

Ehh... while I think that many programmers underestimate the value of a good brand, maybe you don't really need a memorable logo and catchy name for every single development tool.

I'm going to call mine "That thing that makes shit easy".

And the logo will be a cat. Because everyone remembers cats.

Right! A name that explains what the fuck this thing is for is a lot better than a name that is catchy but has no relation to the product. More "WordPerfect" and less "Grunt".

@Yamikuronue Bad naming has always been one of my pet peeves.

And it's applicable in pretty much every field. For example, consumer electronics: can you tell what an "K501UQ" is? Is it a recent product? Is it high end? Would you rather have it or a "K50IJ"? Compare to "MacBook Pro 2016" which pretty much tells you what it is (or "iPhone" and "iPad").

Or,

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime
Asus Transformer Pad Infinity
Asus Transformer Pad TF701T

Can you tell which one came first? Of course you can't. Why the fuck couldn't ASUS just name their stuff Transformer Pad 1, Transformer Pad 2, Transformer Pad 3?

They've added one, I guess.

Nope. I've successfully identified that one as Ionic.

Maybe they can fork the project, split the atom, and blow themselves all into vapor.

Holy crap, it's even on the alt attribute.

At least they didn't add a titleattribute, or it would come up on hover.

That's just good manners, it lets blind people take the test too.

You can lower that a little more

Onyx

@anonymous234 Eh, I was allowing for animations and shit, too lazy to actually check how fast shit gets added to the DOM (could've been JS animations that wait for the end instead of CSS3/parallel animations instead).

In other words, I was lazy.
