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 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Agreed, it really stands apart from all the rest.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Especially that one.

[–] WhiteHotaru@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

These are two variations from the same artist.

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

Does the order get shuffled each time?

Ailyaut must be a debian fan :)

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

In the thumbnail?

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Ah yes, green Debian

[–] aluminium@lemmy.world 44 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Please not another ultra minimal mono color logo

[–] funkajunk@lemm.ee 42 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...

[–] toothbrush@lemmy.blahaj.zone 37 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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 30 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.

[–] EinfachUnersetzlich@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kinda looks like an embryo to me.

[–] AwwTopsy@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I can't help but see a squirrel!

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] flyos@jlai.lu 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Aatube@kbin.social 27 points 2 years ago

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

[–] executivechimp@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Also looks like Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This is a very important feature

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

People would ask what guy is it

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

The Kalpa goatse logo is interesting

Kalpa logo suggestion

[–] Potatofish@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The first one is definitely a xenomorph

[–] Aatube@kbin.social 6 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

[–] anothermember@beehaw.org 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago

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

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] vynaaa@lemmy.world 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

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks, just looking at it made me dizzy lol.

[–] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 13 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.

[–] moreeni@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

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

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

The survey is crap on Mobile! Literally not useable

[–] Krafting@lemmy.world 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

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Most of them are pretty good IMO

[–] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

pprmint designs are by far superior imo

[–] De_Narm@lemmy.world 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.

[–] kirby@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] aswinbenny@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Bottom and 2nd from left Bottom and right most

These look nice

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 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.
