I simply do not have time in the short- to mid-term and will not consider rebranding for at least a year.They may only be a few seconds long, but having a well-made video intro is important for many reasons. Rebranding is a lot of work that mostly comes after the initial design. Neither do I want anything representing the old world of film including film strip, reels, or scissors as they are old and overdone.
A logo that looks like an Adobe product is unacceptable. I do not understand how it cannot be perceived as a logo when it is literally everywhere on everything officially Shotcut - app icon, splash screen, about dialog, top left corner of every page of the web site and forum, favicon, social media, etc.
It looks like a clip (shot) on a track after it has been split (cut): ][ Even if that was an actual logo, anyone who isn’t familiar with Shotcut, seeing that on a thumbnail would just just think it’s merely a design element and not a logo. That fact that I was a logo design professional and didn’t realize the “pause-looking symbol” was the actual logo, should say something.
If I see a an Adobe Premiere logo or a DaVinci Resolve logo on a thumbnail, I immediately know what software it’s for. It’s a great-looking icon, but I think it’s too understated to be a logo. In fact, I probably watch more Premiere videos than I do Shotcut to test myself to see if I can do it in Shotcut. That’s why most of my tutorials are based on trying to achieve more advanced, cinematic techniques that many Premiere users do. Well, nearly a year later and I’m still using Shotcut. I told myself when I first started video editing that the moment I hit a dead-end and get frustrated enough with Shotcut due to inability to accomplish certain tasks, that’s when I bite the bullet and start using DaVinci or Premiere. I think that Shotcut is very powerful and can ascertain the same brand recognition as the flagship brands.
