@maxogden I made this for my own needs:

npm

Do you like it?
Do you want it?
Is this allowed by npm inc?

Thanks

see here for npm's policies on usage of their assets. Can't access the site right now, but from memory I'm pretty sure they'd be fine with this.

As @joshhartigan mentioned above, you can do whatever you want as long as you're not using the logo to "unfairly profit from, trick, or confuse people who are looking for official npm resources."

That said, I'm not a big fan of this graphic. It appears three-dimensional, but has a two-dimensional logo superimposed over it.

Here's an npm hex logo I've been working on.. What do you think?

@zeke One of our twitter bio says "designer at @npmjs", I think anyone can guess who is who from your amazing logo proposal.

Why not put all three letters on each side? While your logo is appealing, the link to npm is not obvious.

I would probably agree with @zeke on the juxta of 2D/3D in this original graphic. The npm logo has just been superimposed over the cube, which makes the design seem quite uncomfortable to me — obviously just my opinion.

As for your designs, @zeke, I think the centered one would work best in conjunction with the other hexbin icons. Also if anybody used the hex as a laptop sticker, I think 2 and 3 would be more effective.

i like all the stickers in this thread, but I like the middle one by @zeke the most :)

I love the first one by @zeke - specifically, I love the 3d look while using a 2-color palette! That said, I'd caution that rounded corner designs look a little strange when printed on regular polygon die cut stickers with sharp pointy corners.

the corners issue could probably be fixed by zeke fairly easily

Look ma I'm all 3d:

npm2

It's more of an experience and training on inkscape for me. :D Still, what do you think? Is it easier to read now?

Nice. What about n on the top face, p on the left, and m on the right?
