Background

I want to design a personal logo. After find a lot of information, found that

1. logo.svg can customize logo patterns and generate svg files
2. svglib can convert svg to png

So i wrote this script for everyone's convenience

Update in 2025

Kozea/CairoSVG is better suited for use with zlogo compared to svglib.

Install

$ pip install zlogo

Usage

# Generate a logo with the text "hahaha"
$ zlogo -l hahaha

# Specify the font size as 100
$ zlogo -fs 100

# Set padding around the logo to 100 pixels
$ zlogo -p 100

# Define the output file path
$ zlogo -o ./zlogo.svg

# Use a configuration file to customize the logo
$ zlogo -c ~/zlogo/configs/readme.yaml

📁 Configuration File

• For available configuration options, please refer to the example files: avatar.yaml and readme.yaml in the configs/ directory.
• Command-line arguments take precedence over settings in the configuration file.

🔤 Font Files

There are two ways to specify a custom font:

1. Using the -f parameter

   # You must provide the full path to a .ttf (TrueType) font file
   $ zlogo -f /path/to/your/font.ttf
   

2. Using a configuration file

   Place your font file in the ~/.fonts/ directory, and then specify only the filename (not the full path) in the configuration file.
