Add logo Common Core Ontologies repo

[jravenel]

The Common Core Ontologies repository currently lacks a distinctive visual identity. Adding a logo would enhance recognition and professionalism of the project.

This logo I generated with AI is a dynamic and modern design that fits well in the context of Common Core Ontologies (CCO). Here’s why this logo would be a good addition:

1. The logo is simple, yet striking. Its circular form is often associated with completeness, unity, and connection—all of which resonate with the principles of ontologies. Ontologies aim to create unified and interconnected knowledge structures, which the circular flow of the design subtly communicates.

2. The dots and arcs flowing together represent the interconnectedness of knowledge entities, concepts, and relations, which is essential for ontologies. The multi-color scheme might be interpreted as representing various domains or types of knowledge that are unified under the CCO framework.

3. The design’s clean and minimalistic approach would work well across different sizes and mediums, whether as a favicon, larger format in presentations, or social media previews.

4. The color gradient and structured use of space give a modern, professional look that enhances the credibility of the repository, making it more inviting and trustworthy for users engaging with the project.

5. The aesthetic appeal of the logo, with its balance of form, color, and symbolism, would enhance the identity of the CCO repository, making it stand out among other ontological and knowledge representation projects.

If it make sense, next steps should be:

• Include the logo in the repo
• Add it to the Common Core Ontologies repository in the locations you suggested, such as the assets directory and README.
• Update repository settings to use it as the social preview image.

Added to 1.7, one way or the other, let's make a decision. @mark-jensen @neilotte @APCox @oliviahobai

@jravenel Thank you for taking the initiative to do this! Sorely needed.

However, I am skeptical we will be able to fully implement this as part of the upcoming 1.7 release. That is partly because, well, a logo is not a proper part of CCO. It's not content. Therefore, its addition is not tied to a particular release. I'd like to refine and iterate on this a bit before we adopt it. Are you open to helping us tweak this to make it more distinct?

Converting to discussion where others can contribute re. the graphic design
