About the MX Linux logo

@Amigo Very very nice.


Quick gimp edit of Freja's version-before-last to make the X a bit thicker and see what it looks like at different scales

There's something to like about all the examples so far; glad it's not my job to decide.

for example, test how it looks on MX Websites and desktop using Freja-version-last.

Probably because I brushed up repeatedly, there is no sense of incongruity.

When I tried it, it was easy to replace because the structure was similar to the existing logo,
so I could apply it just by matching the size of the top and bottom.
Note! This is only an experiment.

@Freja why does the right side of the circle look thicker than the left? Or is that the design?

Just for the record;

8bit's idea of hiding the bottom bits of the X helps by reducing the number of lines in the logo -- Cleaner look.

I started with ceeslans' image; simplified both the X and the lower lines, and added a little space between MX and Linux.

What happens if you raise the X so the legs align with the sides of the pyramids?

Also, elsewhere, when the legs of the X are different lengths and widths, it stops looking like an X.

I made it thicker on purpose.
It is a ring that imaged an annular solar eclipse.

If I made it evenly thick, the intonation disappeared and it felt mediocre.

If I would just make a "fine-tuning" on the current logo: I would just equalize the widths (and clearances) of the legs of X, that's all.

[Freja]

To explain a little more,
As I said at the beginning, it is a design that looks up at the sky from the ground.
The elements of "clock" and "annular solar eclipse" are fused to create a cosmic atmosphere.
The circular pattern derived from Mepis represents "sky" against the earth.


The experience of photographing the dawn from a pitch-black night from the top of the mountain is utilized.

I already tried it during the design process.
However, if the line made even thickness, the intonation is lost
and the "magical atmosphere" is lost.

Actually the one in post #74 is not bad. Just.. keeping the square shape has advantages and this one increases the space on left side.. Therefore I thought maybe you just move the X leftward.... (The bottom corners of pyramids = corners of the square)
