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.

well... i prefer the old logo :(

It was perfect. I don't understand why everything must lose its soul with material design.

Material design looks nothing like this though?

Material design is about blobby, rounded shapes, pastel colours, complementary palettes without much contrast, mostly flat.

Material Design was flat. Now it is lines?

It's not material design.

You should be able to get the old logo back in neofetch atleast by editing

ascii_distro="openSUSE_old"

You can actually set it to any logo regardless of what distro you're on

verschlimmbessert

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

[–] jxk 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm looking for that one freakie German who doesn't

Oh, it's a cameleon with the Linux Mint logo as the head.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Another monochromatic flat logo, oh boy.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

I like it, and I think the simplicity means it'll be quite flexible.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I'm really happy with these ones

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

The main logo choice is fine, no complaints there, but the choices for the others just seem so disjointed from each other (not to mention they basically just chose the old Leap logo again, but in yellow). I really liked the idea of having some sort of unifying design element across the logos to indicate they are all OpenSUSE products. There were some decent concepts with that idea floating around.

I think the A031 Tumbleweed logo is actually my favourite there. But the winner's not bad either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think that one is the only logo with any soul to it. The rest are so flat! I like the old opensuse logo, but I get that it doesn't fit with the rest.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's cute!!!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I'm not enormously bothered by the designs themselves; the new logos look fine, although I preferred the old logo.

But what really bothers me is that they've gone with a whole disjointed mess of different designs for each of their sub-projects. Why on earth wouldn't you take this opportunity to design a coherent family of logos? Bizarre missed opportunity.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I like it, it is cute I think

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It's okay I guess.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Not really bad, but as many others have pointed out, the previous logo was better and more recognisable, I see no real reason behind this change

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

What was wrong with the old logo¿?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I am glad logo on which we knows what animal is on it won.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Looks good, but if i wouldn't know the origin, i might not know what this even is

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Honestly not sure what to make of think of this...

This is the best summary I could come up with:


For those that were interested in the openSUSE logo contest, the voting wrapped up on Tuesday and the results of this logo contest for new openSUSE branding have been selected.

The winning selection for the new openSUSE logo is:

Meanwhile for the new Tumbleweed logo it ended up being a three-way tie:

The new logos for Kalpa, Slowroll, and Leap can also be found via the openSUSE logo contest page.

What do you think of the winning openSUSE logo designs?

Better than the current?
