About the MX Linux logo

[MadMax]

Well, the logo just got updated with the MX 23 release. I'd say keep it like that and think about "modernizing" it again when MX 27 is on its way

Modern? What's 'modern'? I'm old enough to have seen lots of old things become modern again, once someone younger 'discovers' them. ;-)

Anyway, I like this version so I modified it with a transparent background. Even a quick glance and I see "MX" clearly.

I like the current MX logo as it is. I don't like the current proposal at all. Although that's still a very friendly way of putting it.

i don't understand it. why should a logo be modern? what does the term "modern" even mean in this respect? a logo should be memorable! it certainly doesn't have that if it becomes "more modern" every few years.
Everyone recognizes, worldwide, a Mercedes, Audi or VW (just as an example) by its typical logo, and these are logos that are well over 90 and over 100 years old.

I had to look up the Mepis logos very nice selection of cool artwork and the new MX Linux graphics on booting up is sweet as,
the logo(s) used now are better than modern, they are classy and timeless as stated previously works for cars etc.
It's not the logo that makes a company (Distro) modern and appealing it's seeing them accepting new improved ways of doing.

It is not too long since the logo was updated. I would like to keep the current one. They kinda grow on me.
I think they grow on other people too. Just my opinion.

People, take a deep breath! Nobody--nobody--is proposing that the current new logo be changed.

What is Modern? I think it is "advanced and optimized".
If MX was an elementary-like OS, we might adopt the Italian logo.
It wins in terms of simplicity.

However, the MX community wanted a "logo that represented MX's history and story."
Our current logo clearly expresses our starting point.

If Innovation forgets starting point, will it decline.

This is just a discussion about a drawing that an mx facebook member posted in the FB group.

It has nothing to do with whether it will be adopted by MX Team or not (it won't).

No need for anyone to get worked up over this. Just treat this as a discussion about a music group or sports team or even linux distro - what you like or don't like about the thing in question.
