Decide for and adopt new project logo

[marcphilipp]

Since the current logo contains the number 5, we need a new logo for 6.0. I think it would be good to involve the community in this, potentially via some kind of "logo contest". We should make it clear that we won't accept any AI-generated logos and that all rights of the new logo will belong to the project. We can, of course, decide to give praise and attribution in case we decide to adopt a logo from the community. Alternatively, we could discuss using a platform like Fiverr to hire someone to do the logo design for us.

Important

Ground rules (inspired by CSS-Next/css-next#105)

1. Work well very small
2. Be legible
3. Work without color (e.g. to avoid issues with red-green color blindness)
4. Include the text "JUnit" in the logo or next to it
5. Have a version that works well in a square avatar
6. Not include a version number (no 6!)
7. Should be an SVG
8. Not be AI-generated
9. All rights to the logo should be transferable to the JUnit team

Deliverables

• Research how other projects have done this in the past
• Discuss with the team
• Collect ideas

A few ideas:

• Continue to use red/green color palette
• Include ✔ and ✘ to indicate successful and failed tests
• Maybe some kind of shield as a metaphor for protecting code from bugs?

How about something like this?

I fixed it! 😏

In all seriousness, this is of course not meant to be the new logo. I put it in the README for now to avoid confusing people because we will soon rename the repo (see #4577). 😉

Serious proposals are still very welcome!

Let me propose this. Checkmark / j logotype and a bit bolder typeface
