has anybody tried the purely functional courses? I'd like to try, but the price is putting me a bit off

Hello I’m working on the logo for an open source library I’m about to release. I have sketched a few ideas but would like some feedback. Which one is the strongest? http://cl.ly/c0330fa3de8e

I like number 2 and 4 on the bottom

Kinda prefer the last one

The last one, with an extra pair of comfy blue-green parens hugging it, for good measure.

I would say the second-to-last one — just the shapes of the B and the R in smooth, clean lines. I would not try to add on the square brackets or parens because IMO that makes the design more complicated than it needs to be. Caveat: I’m a design dabbler, not a pro, but I have tried to learn the principles of logo design, and they say simpler is better.

I like number two, with the lower case b and upper half of an upper case R. I think that’s the most complex design that’s still understandable.

Not that complexity is necessary, but it can be fun.

I'm having a really hard time finding good dictionary apps on ios! recommendations would be welcome if any of you know some good ones. I need German and Portuguese, both to English.

Google Translate

its fine for quick stuff, but it's not a dictionary :(

ie - something like translating esperar from Portuguese

need the deeper knowledge ;)

Thanks @shin @scriptor @manutter51 @futuro for the feedback, I see which ones I should refine now

@dazld as in, you want more context and explanation in the definition rather than just the translation?

because google translate seems to translate “esperar” fine

exactly

also examples of idioms, pronunciation, cross refs

the usual

have you seen linguee? I just googled it, no experience with it. https://www.linguee.com/portuguese-english/translation/esperar.html

looks really good, wonder if they have an app..

They do, go to the main page and scroll down.

will give it a go

Let me know how you like it, I’m learning Portuguese too! Well, trying to anyway.

I have huge old and crumbling paper dictionaries.. they're out of date but that level of detail was what I was looking for

boom, this looks super promising

Interesting, I may want to get that myself.

I’m taking a Udemy course, so far the story has been “It is morning, John sees Mary and asks, ‘Where is the bathroom?’ Mary says, ‘The bathroom is over there.’ Now it is afternoon. John sees Mary and says, ‘I need a bathroom,’ and Mary says, ‘Here is the bathroom.’ Now John sees Mary and says, ’I want something to drink.’” No, Mary, don’t tell him!

This guy spends too much time in bars already, and should probably get checked for diabetes.

might just be having a suminho ;)

I'll have to cross check some of this.. it's missing a lot of colloquial usage

like.. venda, also means store, shop

Yeah, that wouldn’t be too surprising.

not in there :(

I'll keep digging..
