About the MX Linux logo

[Freja]

@vm_x
Your opinion is very understandable and convincing to me.

However, it is true that I had a different image of MX.

For example, the DaVinci Resolve suite, the creative tool that rivals the Adobe that makes the Mac, runs on MX. (This is also used in Hollywood.)

In recent years, MX can also be used for deep learning, motion capture, etc., and is very advanced.

In other words, I tried to have a futuristic essence focused on the advanced nature of today's MX, so I made a thin and soft design.

Depending on how you interpret the OS called MX, the logo will also change.

By the way, I'm not much of a logo design expert. I apologize to you.

The current logo has a familiarity to it, while the new logo may be modern, but it may lack the familiarity.

It is natural to reject a familiar logo when it is about to change. But MX has come a long way since its inception. Is it reasonable to update the logo?

This is what I was worried about from the beginning.
We waiting for the development team's opinion.


(For me, the logo, both old and new, is a common property of mankind, so it has already left my hands.)

I seem to have opened a Pandora's box,
and now I'm in bed.

However, it is true that I had a different image of MX.

This here is the key issue, I think.

DaVinci Resolve suite, deep learning, motion capture ... none of this is exclusive to MX, it runs just as fine on any other Linux distribution, possibly even better.

MX is a very specific flavor of Linux, somewhat tailored AGAINST jumping on a modern bandwagon just for the sake of modernity. That's why XFCE, arguably the oldest-looking DE availiable, is the flagship. That's why systemd is disabled by default. That's why drivers for old machines are included by default. Even fluxbox gets more attention than KDE, and so on ...

You can't just slap a skinny modern looking logo on top and call it a day, it doesn't fit well with the rest.

Your logo would probably be a perfect fit for the latest Fedora, but on MX it just looks out of place to me.

Moderator: This is derailing into a yes no discussion. Please get back on topic on the designing of the logo etc. and whether things look ok. Thanks.

Sorry, I was under impression that this was a productive discussion, I'll show myself out.

@vm_x
I believe you are correct.
However, my claim is also correct in a way.

In addition, I've received comprehensive feedback, so we will utilize it.

Therefore, I will try to make a third logo (test) from now on.

It might take a little while, as I'll be creating this in between my regular jobs.
I don't know if I can. But I'll try.

It's not intended to update.
I'm just trying to resolve people's complaints and
move forward as much as possible.

Most people give up just short of breakthrough.
But if we had advanced a little further,
we might have been able to make a breakthrough.

As "comprehensive feedback" (Post #196) as well as staying on topic "...whether things look ok" (Post #194), I give the following.

Personally I think user vm_x was spot-on with his Post #193 above:

...

To me, the original MX logo comes across as robust. The new style logo looks dainty (in my opinion).

The only logo in this thread that I though was at least somewhat okay was at the bottom of Freja's Post #177 https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php ... 03#p712503 which displayed a simple "MX" with three horizontal lines below it. That simple "MX" in bold font looks better than the "new" and "modern" logo that is being presented here. Removing one or two horizontal lines might be better looking than with three horizontal lines, but I always return to thinking "there is no reason to change what is already good, accepted, and recognized with the MX Linux distribution."

Regarding "more modern and professional" as stated in Post #1, user figueroa said it well in his Post #7 https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php ... 89#p556389.

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/dainty gives a pretty good description for the definition of "dainty" which is, in part:

of delicate beauty; exquisite
pleasing to the taste and, often, temptingly served or delicate
overly particular; finicky

I see MX Linux as robust and stable.

Codename "Traditional Heavy Eclipse"


The traditional logo pyramid-form is used as it is.

It's a "heavy stamp" that can withstand extreme shrinkage, and we've added dolphin_oracle's favorite "Eclipse" element.

A design that eliminates cuteness and combines traditional stability and magical-atmosphere.

note: Animation can be create.
