Thanks everyone but Nope, Nope, This is NOT FINAL version,
This is only first impression. So Final is more different and greater ever(in my head).

I changed my schedule, I make version final candidate tonight. (but I'm not hurry)

I appreciate the current one as well and the technical hurdles that had to be overcome to create it.

My biggest ”complaint” regarding the current MX Plymouth theme is that I think it is too big. I think a logo should be a subtle and small ”mark of quality”. If it takes up a large portion of the screen it’s too much in my opinion.

I hope this new version can find its way into MX Linux, at least as an alternative Plymouth theme. And if there will be a small version (think Apple or Microsoft), it would be even better.

Ok, enough said. Well done!
You're right, I think same.

KDE like design?

Keep in mind that that can trigger an episode in people sensitive to flashing. We don't want to risk that.

Sorry, i didn’t think about it. I hide current animation and remake.

That’s popular problem in video art world…

I want to express an “twinkle star” motion,
Why? T.H.E. MX Logo expressing sky and mountains, and dawn. Moon. Sun. Sky. Sunshine. Mountains. So I want to add “star” in new boot animation.

My today’s my usual work end soon, I’ll add “One Shooting Star(or Comet) to animation.

Too flashy caused by toggle key frame, omit that and edit to more mild taste.
