Design inspiration

I like the art style of this design the best, also that it feels like a good mascot of sorts for a tech product. I like the colors.

I want less washed out coloring

i don't like this style as much; the logo should be less grungy and more rounded

I like the black outline, cartoony look. The outline might be a bit too thick in this one, and the font is wrong for Lockgit.

I like this style, still cartoony, but no black outlines... it could work

Same as feelings as the ninja one, although it feels a little sparse

the logo should look good on a white background

a bunch of icons for tech products. these are very abstract, more abstract than i think i want. I like how the text is clean and easy to read, and not part of the icon, which can stand on its own.

Logos for Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift. I like how for each, the text is an optional element of their logo. The graphic fits into a square space

Other notes

I want to emphasize the fact LockGit sounds like "locket" in the logo. I am thinking an open heart shaped locket with a "Git" type symbol inside. Since security is part of the app, a sturdy looking chain or padlock might be incorporated. I drew up something very quick, but open to other layouts.

See the github repo at https://github.com/jswidler/lockgit for more info. I will put the logo at the top of the read me.

I've include logos of a few other products like Docker and Kubernetes in the inspiration section now. All these logos have in common that the graphic is square, and the text is optional and not too crazy when included.
