# Cocoanut Logo Design - Enhanced Version
## Core Concept: "Cocoa + Rust = Cocoanut"
The logo should cleverly combine the "cocoa" theme with Rust programming elements, creating a memorable and meaningful design.
## Design Elements:
### Primary Logo (200x200px)
- **Main Shape**: A stylized coconut shell with a "rust" patina/oxidation effect
- **Coconut Shell**:
- Base: #8B4513 (saddle brown)
- Rust patina: #CD853F (peru) with #B22222 (fire brick) accents
- Texture: Subtle hexagonal pattern (like coconut fiber)
- **Coconut "Eyes"**: Three dots forming a triangle, styled like Rust's crab mascot eyes
- **Text**: "Cocoanut" in a modern, technical font (like Fira Code or JetBrains Mono)
- **Accent**: Small Rust crab claw or gear element integrated into the design
### Alternative Concepts:
#### Concept 1: "Rusty Coconut"
```
🦀
🥥
COCOANUT
```
- Coconut with rust-colored patches
- Small crab elements
- Technical, industrial feel
#### Concept 2: "Cocoa Bean + Code"
```

- Incorporates Rust programming language elements
- Suggests macOS development (clean, native)
### 2. **Technical Aesthetic**
- Geometric shapes and patterns
- Code-inspired elements
- Modern, minimalist approach
- Professional yet approachable
### 3. **Scalability**
- Works at 16x16px (favicon)
- Clear at 32x32px (app icon)
- Impressive at 200x200px (README)
- Maintains clarity when scaled
### 4. **Versatility**
- Works on light backgrounds
- Adapts to dark themes
- Monochrome version available
- High contrast for accessibility
## Logo Variations:
### 1. **Full Logo** (200x200px)

- Full brand representation
### 2. **Icon Only** (64x64px)
- Just the coconut symbol
- Used in app icons, favicons
- Recognizable without text
### 3. **Text Only** (Horizontal)
- "Cocoanut" text with accent
- Used in headers, banners
- Clean, professional look
### 4. **Monochrome** (Black/White)
- Single color version
