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 10 months ago (1 children)

Agreed, it really stands apart from all the rest.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Especially that one.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

These are two variations from the same artist.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months 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 10 months 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] 43 points 10 months 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 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months 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] 32 points 10 months 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] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Kinda looks like an embryo to me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I can't help but see a squirrel!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Also looks like Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

This is a very important feature

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months 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 10 months ago

People would ask what guy is it

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago

The Kalpa goatse logo is interesting

Kalpa logo suggestion

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months 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

Is there a reason given why they can't use their current logo?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

They can, they just want to change branding to look less like SUSE logo

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The first one is definitely a xenomorph

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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] 14 points 10 months 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] 11 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

The survey is crap on Mobile! Literally not useable

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Most of them are pretty good IMO

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

pprmint designs are by far superior imo

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Bottom and 2nd from left Bottom and right most

These look nice

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

The center bottom one looks like the sicp snake.
