Branding question

Hey,

I wanted to ask someone about this but It might be “helpful” to make it here.

Since the rebranding from BuckleScript + Reason to ReScript I found something a little off.

The branding represents a lowercase “r” and a lowercase “rescript” while any other text representation of the brand is ReScript. It might make sense to have 2 representations that don’t match by the iconography and the content, but It’s really not optimal to represent a language with a logo that doesn’t visualize the letter r clearly.

Another question that pops into mind is… if there’s an emphasis on writing ReScript means that there’s a meaning of the suffix “Re”, because everyone can imagine what’s “Script” in a language, but what’s “Re” in this case? “Reason”?

I come from a good place asking these questions, I don’t want to criticise anyone job, I really like the decisions made there, but wanted to know more about the reasons behind.

Hope to make sense!

this is just my assumption, if you see image from https://rescript-lang.org/blog/new-rescript-logo, well you can read all about re-branding from link above.
maybe rescript = Reason + buckleScript. CMIIW :laughing:

Sure, that’s the assumption but I wanted to know if that’s true or not.
