Losing the Mountains ...

#1 Post by CharlesV »

So... I started thinking about "loosing the mountains" ... and early this morning started on one idea... and these happened.

Any interest in pursuing these? if so, then I will tighten them up and make them production ready.

Hi,

I applaud your work and effort and well, bravery to make a move in this direction, obviously you've put significant time into it... The problem with losing the err... uhm... pyramids is where to begin from there... should it be the MX letters? Should it be another new symbol..? I'll be honest I don't know if this concept is strong enough to move things away from the existing improvement by @Freja but credit should be given where it is due, thanks for being open-minded enough to submit an idea. :number1:

The mountains design was / is a stylised 'MX", so I don't think that this new design is that big of a departure from tradition, but it does bring clarity to our brand.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Thank you. And yes I have found that many people need to visualize, so even though it may be 'hung out there' a little for people to bang on, many times it takes that to get truly seen. I CERTAINLY dont want to take anything away from Freja !! He has done an amazing job on those graphics. I just have play a little sometimes and see what happens :-)

And I do think @j2mcgreg nailed it - This kind of design helps push the branding better.

I am impressed. They look very good. :thumbup:

Please let me know when you are ready to set them free to people who wants to play with them and manipulate them.

Is B&W-style a matter of minimizing the icon file size.?

Thank you Jakob77. I have made a little more progress on these and will post some versions shortly.

Not sure of your question. B&W usually stands for Black and White, nothing to do with size.
