About the MX Linux logo

Logo codename "Traditional Heavy Eclipse"
2023 MX LINUX Forum

____________

As you can see, at the new logo creation received a
many many opinions from MX users.

Denial worked rather as good medicine.
If one of the opinion is missing,
this final form would not have been completed.

This is not made by myself,
it is the embodiment of forum's will.
I only compiled.

Thank you for all the comments you have given me.

Logos have never been my theme and have never touched my professional photographic everyday life (they were always ready when I had industrial assignments ;-}), but based on the old Mepis logo, which I liked visually, this one jumps out at me in a pleasantly positive way.

More evolution than revolution, but that's okay in my eyes.

Of course, this is only the irrelevant, absolutely personal opinion of an end user; whatever you decide at some point will be fine with me.

it struggles with itself at its center
there is disagreement where thick and where thin.

This one seems to be round and square at once. It combines contradictions and I that's why it is very universal.

On my main machine I'm using MX-Fluxbox now with the default only a little bit customized MX-comfort fluxbox- and tint2- panel themes and there's nothing circular there. But I also have a laptop and netbook, and there is another theme, where circular logo will look much better to me.

I have always moved from the default MX-logo to mx-icons-start-LogoLight.png from the mx-icons-start package that is just plain white MX sign without any background, borders or other elements. And the background or the border-shape is independent of the logo itself and it is up to the button configuration.

@Freja could you make the black-eclipse icon 64x64. Xfce has trouble scaling the 60x60 one correctly.

I made a high resolution .png and vector data for the text part of the logo
used in the boot animation. This may be needed someday.(Font: Girloy font free Extrabold)
