Hi,
I have some images ready to show you. In an effort to keep down forum clutter, I will post only a few screenshots below in this post and in the next post (due to the "3-image limit per post" rule).

Most of us who do design work and are Linux Mint users (at least the ones that I know) have always thought that the two different "N",s in the logo just didn't match well. (No offense Carlos if you happen to read this. You did a great job!
) What I did was modify the original logo with the correct (in my opinion) matching font, along with a little resizing and balancing to try to make things look default as much as possible, but with a more modern feel. I still cut the "L" and the "T" back as in the original.
Looking at the small inset image of the first screenshot one can see that the newer "N" , "M" and even the "T" are being used now on desktop bg's.
If you like I could change back to the old style "N". Just let me know.
Yes I would do a few things differently than default, but that was not my goal in this case. Less drop shadow, different "dots for the "i"'s, etc. I have made these types of mods in the not so distant past while making Mint logos.
I did a few variations and sub-element variations. Yes, I'm trying to read your mind!
I'm not too good at that though really.
Take a look at some of these and let me know if there is anything that you like OR if there is anything that you would like for me to further develop. Any variation is possible or even new things that you may think of. Please remember to be verbose!
When/if we have something that you like I will send you the source code of the master file with all images. Any Inkscape user would then be able to open and modify anything as needed. I can help you to learn to do this as well, then you can re-size and export
svg(vector) image to
png(rastor) format if needed.
**If you want to mix and match elements (e.g. hyphens, sub-elements,etc) please be specific on which ones.**
Let me know when you have time and I hope that these images may be of help to you.
Thanks,
S
