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.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Agreed, it really stands apart from all the rest.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Especially that one.

[–] WhiteHotaru@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

These are two variations from the same artist.

[–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 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.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Does the order get shuffled each time?

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] demonsword@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Ailyaut must be a debian fan :)

In the thumbnail?

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Ah yes, green Debian

[–] aluminium@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Please not another ultra minimal mono color logo

[–] funkajunk@lemm.ee 41 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.

[–] offbyone@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 2 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.

[–] WhiteHotaru@feddit.de 29 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.

[–] EinfachUnersetzlich@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kinda looks like an embryo to me.

[–] AwwTopsy@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I can't help but see a squirrel!

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] flyos@jlai.lu 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Aatube@kbin.social 25 points 1 year ago

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

[–] executivechimp@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also looks like Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This is a very important feature

[–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 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.

[–] smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

People would ask what guy is it

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

The Kalpa goatse logo is interesting

Kalpa logo suggestion

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] vynaaa@lemmy.world 2 points 11 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

The first one is definitely a xenomorph

[–] Aatube@kbin.social 6 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

[–] anothermember@beehaw.org 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

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

[–] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 14 points 1 year 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.

[–] moreeni@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Krafting@lemmy.world 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

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The survey is crap on Mobile! Literally not useable

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Most of them are pretty good IMO

[–] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

pprmint designs are by far superior imo

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 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.

Bottom and 2nd from left Bottom and right most

These look nice

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] kirby@discuss.tchncs.de 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

[–] Floey@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

The center bottom one looks like the sicp snake.
