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.

Bottom row, 2nd from the left. Simple, clean, distinct.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed, it really stands apart from all the rest.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Even from the one right next to it that looks almost identical??

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Especially that one.

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

These are two variations from the same artist.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Aliyaut’s logo? It is clean, but it’s hardly even identifiable as a gecko. It blends in too much with all the modern corporate logos we have today IMHO. It’s not a bad choice if they decide to go with it, but they could do better.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Does the order get shuffled each time?

Ailyaut must be a debian fan :)

In the thumbnail?

Please not another ultra minimal mono color logo

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Too bad for you, they already have the logos for some of the variants and that's exactly what they're going for.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah felt very obvious which ones will be chosen regardless of the survey...

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

I don’t feel like they’re inherently bad, but they’ve become so popular that they all feel like they’re blending together. I think it’s kind of stale at this point.

In my opinion one of the full design themes should be picked because some of those single designs look very nice individually but would clash with others.

My pick would be Emiliano's theme, it looks the most like an evolution of the opensuse style. Imo the others are either a bit too minimalist or deviate too strongly from the original design.

Nikolayan's design is also good, but I prefer Emiliano's because that you can recognise the chameleon better in every logo.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I like this one

It is a friendly recognizable chameleon and they did a good job with integrating the existing abstract logos.

From the Solo designs I loved the ones with the branch with different endings a lot. It had a warm touch to it, but was a little to filigrane for a logo.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kinda looks like an embryo to me.

I can't help but see a squirrel!

That one is my favourite. Cute chameleon (or was it gecko), but also simple. Looks great

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

Always has been a chameleon. It was named Geeko, which generated some confusion.

[–] jsh 3 points 1 year ago

I also liked it, but I had a religious objection to it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Note that there are way more logos than those you see in the preview.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Bottom row, far right. Simple, minimalist, caffeinated, unhinged.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also looks like Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon.

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

This is a very important feature

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

I don’t hate it. I feel like the goofy smile makes it just distinguishable enough to stick out from all the other minimalist logos.

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

People would ask what guy is it

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

The Kalpa goatse logo is interesting

Kalpa logo suggestion

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can someone explain to me what the fuck are the abominations labeled "Pab150n"?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am a bit late but this is the description: Represents the redesign of the SUSE logo to combine it with Colombian styles from the 70s and 80s

I liked the ones that didn't stray too much from the original. I always liked the gecko, but found it to be a bit weird looking.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The first one is definitely a xenomorph

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

too bad they're already doing minimal mono color logos. maybe if one of these designs shifted to adding up all of the colors of the remixes it'd work

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

I love all of the minimalist options here, they are so cute!

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

I just hope they don't ruin the logo with too much minimalism. There are good submission in all of that

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

The survey is crap on Mobile! Literally not useable

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

Most of them are pretty good IMO

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

pprmint designs are by far superior imo

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

Personally, I like the theme by td0 the most. Minimalism was never my preferred style. Although, I don't like the color choice for leap specifically.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The Leap version logo where there is a line 'making' a leap is very clever

[–] jsh 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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

Bottom and 2nd from left Bottom and right most
