Basic4*

Very nice (also I love the blue)

I suppose it will never become Basic 5

 

[Erel]

Ian you are missing the transition to B4*...

 

[IanMc]

Ah, don't understand Erel

I think I got the font wrong and therefore the context as it's usually written Basic4android so perhaps I should have a better font which more clearly defines upper and lower case letters.

Basic4*
B4*
the '*' indicating 'anything' like the Dos and Unix wildcard character but perhaps until there is Basic4'every OS in existence' it should be written as Basic4~ or B4~

but is there no 'longhand' for B4J, it's simply called B4J and does not translate to 'Basic4java', same with B4i ?

Or can we write:

Basic4android
Basic4java
Basic4iOS

Shorthand:
B4A
B4J
B4i

 

[LucaMs]

I think Erel has changed from Basic4ppc to B4X because basic 4 can be interpreted as "Version 4" and, with the passage of time, it would seem old.

We know, instead, that the 4 means "For"

but is there no 'longhand' for B4J, it's simply called B4J and does not translate to 'Basic4java', same with B4i ?

Yes. This is correct. B4J is just B4J and the same is true for B4i. Basic4android will also be renamed in the future to B4A.

Thanks for the clarification, in future I'll just use those short versions in my logos.

What do you think of this so far? Suggestions?

 

[LucaMs]

yes, one:

I would put B4*

and I can not explain in words (English, moreover) I would do that "underline" as if it were a kind of highway, enlarging the final right part, towards the viewer ... I try to make an example in few seconds, thanks to my huge scarcity graphics...

but with the final bend like yours, not so.


In short, to give the idea that it is the right way

 

[IanMc]

Good suggestions, I like the suggestion of making the underline into a highway!

Plus the * character does look better.

 

[IanMc]

With my graphic (the yellow line) if I enlarge it, it distorts so I might steal yours

Do you have that yellow swish as a transparent .png ?

 

[LucaMs]

Sorry, I drew a draft with Paint Net only to better explain, thinking that I would not be able to do it using words. I did not save it.

 

[IanMc]

It's ok, I got it, what do you think?

oh... what happened to the word 'your' ? oops....

Here we go....

actually then it might just as well be:
