From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Alright, as a preface I have already voted, and I feel the survey probably could have been organized much better.

Here are my personal takeaways on the entries.

I think the current logo for Tumbleweed is fine, and does not need to be changed, but that's okay.
There were many very diverse designs, and I feel the simpler ones work much better. I think some of the designers here may have forgotten that this logo will likely find its way onto 24px icons smaller than a square inch, but I appreciate their efforts.
I really liked the proposals made by Frogster, Ailyaut, pprmint, Piaf Jaune, and scrub1701. They were all very neat, visually distinct whilst working well together, and I would be fine seeing them on my system every day. I also liked Emiliano's theme as an idea, but ultimately I'm against it because it reminds me too much of the goggles on a Despicable Me Minion.

Overall, I think this is a great initial survey, and I look forward to seeing the results, and what comes next.
