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 2 years ago (1 children)

Agreed, it really stands apart from all the rest.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Especially that one.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

These are two variations from the same artist.

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

Does the order get shuffled each time?

In the thumbnail?

Please not another ultra minimal mono color logo

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 years 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.

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

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 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

Kinda looks like an embryo to me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can't help but see a squirrel!

[–] jsh 1 points 2 years ago

Well, I love squirrels!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] jsh 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Also looks like Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

This is a very important feature

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

People would ask what guy is it

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

The Kalpa goatse logo is interesting

Kalpa logo suggestion

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years 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

The first one is definitely a xenomorph

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

The survey is crap on Mobile! Literally not useable

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

pprmint designs are by far superior imo

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Most of them are pretty good IMO

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years 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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Bottom and 2nd from left Bottom and right most

These look nice

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

The survey was absolute hell on mobile until I actually read the part where it says you can just double click. Made it so much easier. I personally chose the more intricate designs as my favorite and less intricate and more simplified designs as my least favorite. Detailed and intricate designs or nothing for me.
