About the MX Linux logo

[ceeslans]

Here is an example of how it looks on the panel

@Amigo : great design as usual (I really like your mxfb-bird too).
here's my slightly-morphed take on your mx-logo, displayed in a conky overlay.

[Freja]

Amigo's logo design is bold and innovative,
and has a high degree of perfection and practicality.

If MX steps up from tradition,
Sounds like a great update.
I dream of the MX-23 with this built in.

(My keep-concept design is like
"Italian cars that look good but are fragile"...
This is my weak point. Lack of practicality.)

Was mxfb-bird designed by amigo!
I've loved that one for a long time.

Imho "logo" needs to be simple and clean looking. Especially when it's a small icon everything will easily make it look blurred / hazy ... Otherwise, everything looks fine for a wallpaper: Clouds, mountains, A "rising" sun, a nice looking "handscript" ..

Just remember the "Mercedes-Benz" logo.. The simplest shape on Earth.. 3 lines in a circle.
Anything related to "Karl Benz"? No. "Gottlieb Daimler"? No. Year of foundation 1800s etc.? No. Germany etc..? No. Anything that reminds power/quality/engine ..? No.


Or.. "Volks Wagen": Just a nested V and W letters.

Hewlett-Packard? Just an h and a p in a circle.

Sony? Just 4 letters: SONY (that simple).


The simplest it is, the cleanest ("twenty-twenty") look will be especially when it's small (i.e. the Whisker menu icon on panel).

So: imho it should be just an M and an X together. Either in a square or a circle (that way it'll be easy to fit (good looking) everywhere)

Maybe just an MX , or 2 letters "nested" (something like the VW logo upside down (that looks like MX)... )

I can't agree more with the entirety of Huck's post quoted above. I claim no artistic or graphics expertise, but spent the last 18 years of my work life in an outfit that produced branded products, and everything he says is dead on. The best, most recognizable designs are always clean and simple and unmistakable. You want a logo for MX Linux? Duh, how about the letters MX? If you need to add some kind of design element to it, make it clean.

I'm watching the football game this evening with the Giants and the Eagles. Check out the Giants helmet logo. Any question where they're from? Hell, steal that design concept -- make it MX with a line under it that's tied to the X extended below.

Thank you all for your comments

@Freja
I think it's good that you keep posting with your own and unique style even if you saw fragile lines as a weakness (I disagree on that).
It's your own and unique style and that only enriches diversity and creativity for all and that can't be bad or wrong in any sense

About your design I really like it (MX-logo tesiting 10). I don´t know why but reminds me of California.

I think that for small places the thin lines are not going to work, but for wallpapers and conkies for sure (So it's functional)

@ceeslans
I'm also a fan of your Fluxbox setups (designs) contemporary and clean!

I am attaching the logo .svg files for those who want to use them. Feel free to use it (Modify, recolor it, etc.)

I tried to summarize what has happened so far.

A person argued that the existing MX logo was not modern.
Although there was some initial shock to the community,
Some people tried to improve with the keep concept.
He tried but failed.
While the discussion of the new logo is repeated,
A completely new concept logo has been announced by Amigo.

Currently, the Amigo's MX logo is generally well received,
The debate is still ongoing.

It could be,
"We know the existing logo is close to the best, but
some people are getting a little stuck with the existing logo."

I'm waiting for the appearance of Ms. asqwerth.

In my case. I just did it for fun.
I like the original and only MX logo
I share the one I made in case someone want to use it or just play with it.
My intentions are not at all to change the original logo for the one I made.

About 10 years ago, something like this happened in Japan.

Sony CEO Nobuyuki Idei tried to revamp the SONY logo.
Many proposals were submitted from all over the country,
but none were superior to the value of the existing logo,
and in the end it was not renewed.

MX may be like that too.

The MX logo already exists beyond cool and uncool.
It's a trust and love for the distribution.
like Sony's case, great because it doesn't change. I thought it might be.

I think this case is meaningful because it clarified
the importance of "not changing MX for a long time".

If you think about it, it's not good for branding to make new changes right away.

trustworthy distribution needs is
"unchangeable reliability".

PS. Sony is no longer in the manufacturing industry, so it's not good.

At least it's not new KIA logo...

[Amiga-MX]

The good thing is that we are having fun. And many designs are popping around.

It is not strictly necessary to match a logo for a change. For example the beauty design that @Amigo presented. Perhaps, maybe will don't match with the app launcher icon size (we need to test it). However we all well can get benefits from everyone's design, for many uses.

At the other side if we see that a winner design, I mean real life winner design test and shows to be a real match. Just by pure demonstration oh it's value, I think could be adopted.

Don't see other sense, to have fun, to blend in activities, and going forward. For that, what we need is an step back on the solid Z reference.
The idea is not to do the hamster role that I played before @Amigo came into rescue.

Of course I also wish to see soon at @asqwerth around in action.

Thank you for reading

mx needs a symbol that indicates tech, cloud, www, What is today's designation that means small computer operating system? an icon. We clamored momentarily with the idea of iMX or eMX. used to mean something and it passed.
A #good one came along, but remains in the hands of a service. #MX. #mx.
We need a sign that means no bricks, cloud only.
dot com MX.COM short and sweet we are not there.com.
