Very simple, but very consistent 😉  Wdyt? 
 @nielliesmons , you have excelled yourself. There is so much I like about the gitworkshop logo.
1. Forward motion: Progress, positive, uplifting. The lines aren't moving in a 'roundabout' fashion like they easily could with the 'W' shape, but instead are driving forward.
2. Strong and clear git connotations on many levels:
   * the use of nodes connected by lines.
   * shaped as a git graph (lines don't go backwards).
   * shaped as a physical fork (and "fork" is key in the git vernacular).
3. Multiple tips: The git graph has multiple tips, symbolizing multiple PRs ahead of the central master branch. This really represents gitworkshop as a place to view, discuss, and collaborate on code proposals. 
  have a question about color. Did you put thought into using that blue?

The current GitWorkshop color palette is as follows:
```json
{
    "color-scheme": "dark",
    "primary": "#ff79c6",
    "secondary": "#bd93f9",
    "accent": "#ffb86c",
    "neutral": "#414558",
    "base-100": "#282a36",
    "base-content": "#f8f8f2",
    "info": "#8be9fd",
    "success": "#50fa7b",
    "warning": "#f1fa8c",
    "error": "#ff5555",
    "nostr-purple": "#9333ea"
}
```
It is a color palette from the DaisyUI Dracula theme, with the standard DaisyUI purple.

What do you think about using purple as the logo color to bring in Nostr connotations?

For ngit, did you take the red from the Git logo? Perhaps that red doesn't sit nicely on my current color palette.

That "secondary" purple doesn't contrast well with both black and white (like nearly all of those DaisyUI colours btw). Would need to darken it then (on the right).  
 the darkened secondary color is nice. It is still quite a blue purple.
I've been using #9333ea for purple, which is a similar contrast but much less blue. Maybe it is a bit inconsistent?

Do you think the fact that it doesn't work well on black / white is a problem? The logo needs to work well on black and white. I suppose it would be nice for screenshots to work well on black and white too.
The background colors used in gitworkshop.dev is part of the charm of the current design aesthetic. Maybe it time for the color scheme to mature a bit.
 
 I'll send you files later today in various colours (as well as SVG's that you can play with).  
 Thanks. Are you happy to contribute them under the MIT license? 
 Do you have a profile for gitworkshop? 
 No 
 So you haven't seen the workshop pliers yet in the white space? 😜  
 Total coincidence of course + totally invisible to most, but they're there. 
 Wow. Once you see them they are obvious. I've been part of identity projects before and never have I seen a first attempt smash it out the park like this. I think this is it, without any need for more iteration. 
 I see three people sitting together in a group meeting 
 Even better 💪  
 I see someone with a big grin on their face. 
 Like 
 Love it!  
 Nice.
I probably would rotate the git workflow 180°: usually a git history has the the most recent commits at the top, and display a merge highlights collaboration. 
 but isn’t this the top with 3 open branches? 
 To me it looks like they are diverging, it reminds me more of a fork than a collaborative situation. 
 But nostr:nprofile1qqs2qzx779ted7af5rt04vzw3l2hpzfgtk0a2pw6t2plaz4d2734vngpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7hycrvd saw them as PRs, and so collaboration:

The versatility of logos :) 
 That's good feedback. Does anyone else instinctively think that?
