While working for Gradle Inc. (formerly Gradleware), I worked as a web developer and a visual designer in part of building the gradle.org website. I created designs and website flows for the new website, worked on logo and icon creation, Web development within Wordpress / CMS, CSS development for pages and page elements. I often worked with a team of 7 to 10 people daily wether is was onsite or remote.
The Gradleware logo was created in the escence of an open-source platform, it was used to advertise and sell Gradleware products and also advertise the Gradle build integration software; however, with the change from Gradleware to Gradle Inc, the logo called for a change.
This newly created logo was made with the escense and feel of the older logo but a new and creative style. The logo-mark remained unchanged; however, new typography was made for the logo to reflect the symmetry of th logo as a whole and the new Gradle Inc. style.
