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.

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.
