Keep in mind that because MicroOS, Leap Micro and Aeon have icons already set, this means that whoever design the rest will be restricted by the currently existing ones.

Like, both MicroOS and Leap Micro have a horizontal line and a circle in the middle. And Leap Micro basically forces a new design of Leap logo to be almost exactly like the previous one. And Aeon has the middle circle of Micro, but split into two, so Kalpa should also have the split circle somewhere.

That said, I’m not exactly a fan of the MicroOS, Leap Micro and Aeon logos. They are just outlines, and very thin. I understand that logos need to work in monochrome, but they are just… Anorexic. Would prefer if there was an entire rebranding

Aeon’s confuses me - an hourglass is well known as a “busy” or “wait” symbol

I’m not sure I’d want that as my branding for an OS

Exactly. It sounds like it’s slow.

Jeez, my guy is livid about the penguin

Knusper@feddit.de on 26 Oct 2023 04:14 next collapse

The penguin is great, because it’s absolutely unprofessional. I’d rather Linux be a fun community get-together than a sterile corporate brand.

I love Tux, but I wish Linux as a whole would have a logo. Like, you have Windows and Apple logo that represent the OSes in a simple way, it works even if the logo is small. Linux doesn’t have that, so when someone needs a logo they just use the logo of a Linux distro instead, or they show multiple distros, or more likely, they will visually represent some distros, but not all distros they support.

Tux is the universal logo

ChristianWS@lemmy.eco.br on 26 Oct 2023 16:52 collapse

Doesn’t really fit that well in small areas, and it sorta works in black and white, but not really.

Damn it. I can’t upvote and down vote at the same time. Firstly, yes I agree that a total rebranding is needed, as the logos for MicroOS, Kalpa, etc are well… Uninspired. Secondly, leave the penguin alone man.

selokichtli@lemmy.ml on 26 Oct 2023 13:41 collapse

Seems like SUSE confused “symbolic icon” with “logo”. I hope the community can mend this confusion with good logos.

If it’s not a gecko I don’t want it!

I’m pretty sure it’s a chameleon. But same, didn’t need to change.

The pet won’t stop being a Chameleon, just suffering a redesign

Kalpa must be extremely slow LTS

Wow, reading that left me quite confused until I realized that it’s elder scrolls and not Buddhism en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalpa_(time)

Your point stands regardless 😅

tslnox@reddthat.com on 27 Oct 2023 07:14 collapse

I didn’t know ES lore took that from Buddhism. Cool, I learned something new, thanks! :)

How many openSUSE distros are there?.. Two of the ones mentioned there I’ve never heard before, and there’s like half a dozen others I’ve heard mentioned. Are these official variations or derivates?

LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world on 26 Oct 2023 10:22 collapse

All official as far as I know!

walthervonstolzing@lemmy.ml on 26 Oct 2023 13:18 next collapse

I kinda like the redesigned chameleon in the SUSE logo; maybe they could let openSUSE borrow it?

… though I guess not, because brand identity is the holy of holies, and all that.

Does this mean that Leap is officially here to stay? I’m still confused on that one.
