| Jul 12, 2012 at 15:07 | comment | added | Jin | @J.M. Yes. For print media, such as cards I don't need it to be tileable, just a version that covers a big area. However for web, it will be used as a repeated background image, so it needs to be tileable. | |

| Jul 12, 2012 at 14:34 | comment | added | Jin | I love your Attempt #2. It's so much better than my standard hexagon tiles. But is this pattern possible to be cut to a square shaped, seamless tile for web use? If so, could you please send me the vector format? | |
| Jul 12, 2012 at 14:13 | comment | added | rm -rf Mod | Haha, I just independently stumbled upon the last demonstration and was about to post it here when I see that you have too! I think the "arcs" setting might also be worth considering | |
| Jul 12, 2012 at 14:01 | comment | added | rcollyer | I like the second one better for the same reasons as @Szabolcs and because it has better contrast, i.e. I can see it without doing funny things to my monitor. | |
| Jul 12, 2012 at 13:08 | comment | added | Szabolcs | I like the one I liked to (rhombuses) better than the kite-dark one (the one you show), but I am not sure how to make the rhombus one periodic without too much work ... I hope Jin accepts a very wide but non-tileable image. | |
| Jul 12, 2012 at 13:03 | comment | added | Verbeia | Well, I haven't actually implemented it, just changed the colours (sounds like a pattern for me...). I just looked at the tiling you linked to, and it would be really nice in the same pale greys that I have used. | |
| Jul 12, 2012 at 12:59 | comment | added | Szabolcs | Actually I wanted to implement this, but then I had to leave. By the time I came back, you already has this post :) I think I'll implement the version which is periodic at long spatial scales while looks like a normal Penrose tiling at small ones. | |

My vote is definitely for some variation on the Penrose tiling (the second one). Either the kite-dart version you're showing here, or the rhombus version. This has pentagonal elements (like the logo), it tiles the plane despite this ( :-) ) and it's aperiodic (cool and fits with the spirit of the site). If we go with the kite-dart version, it's possible to make it periodic at large spatial scales (which might be a requirement for Jin to scale to huge screens in the future).
