About the MX Linux logo

[Freja]

Ok, thank you for suggesting something new/alternative and for your efforts, but (just as an ordinary / amateur person):

Why the two horizontal lines below?
Why grey (for the 1st design) ?

Especially: Am I the only one who thinks this?:

This time the X looks like a "banned" "forbidden" "do not" ... kind of warning signage.

This is a slightly confusing result. pure,
single horizontal line might be better.

As a result of centering X,
It can certainly have a negative connotation.

Please give me some time.
I got a response, so I'll try to improve it.

A good design is improved by user criticism, crushed and polished,
In many cases it will work better.
Therefore, such comments should be welcomed.

This is a modified version based on Huckleberry Finn and i_ri's exact opinion.
I have uploaded a high-resolution .png
There is a clear improvement. Thanks.

hello Jackseller and everyone
Hello Freja
One say, Oh my. That is a marvelous companion MX for the one named Bullseye.
One say, I don't know what it is, but I think it has four legs.
One, "old member" type objective, say, Mepis was a whirl. Today MX logo is a very bold statement of strength and durability. May it stand.

now (the bullseye moved. no more four legged. aww. erase the lower left leg of x? )

Hi,


Comments below = opinion, nothing more...

I don't want to lose any friends but as much as I absolutely LOVE MX and everything about it I'm not generally a fan of it's logo and I'm especially not a fan of the Logo font, Fonts are a dicy thing and it is very easy for a font to get get dated or have the 'Comic Sans' effect. I think the MX Font comes across as a bit too errr uhmm... superficial. It's like one of those larabie fonts that you think is unique so you try it but a week later you reconsider...

MX is a HUGE player in the Linux world, it's popular because it is excellent, it is not a 'hidden gem' any longer and in my opinion it's logo has not evolved like what it represents has... Just being real, no disrespect to anyone, HUGE respect to this project as a whole! Just putting that out there..

AVLinux, we made the font closer to the image of the logo.
The thickness of the letters has been adjusted to more than double.

I'm sorry for my full hobby.

dolphin_oracle,
I made it a clean, system-like font with no habits.

@Freja

I enjoy your work and you are a talented artist!

Again, just opinions but I thing the logo is a great concept but the lines are too thin, if I were working on it it I would make it bolder and make the lines double the thickness at least.. Also MX is technology not art or literature, I personally don't think any kind of cursive or handwritten text is a good fit, Bolder lines in the logo would open more options for a bolder fonts..

I feel I've come to the party too late and have too much to say already...

I think when dealing with logos, dealing with the graphic without text should be foremost.

I really like the version with the two lines and the X behind the mountain.
