Debian CE Artwork...

[Zwopper]

Anyone has the time to put the Mint symbol beside the revised logo Zwopper made? i think we should not abandon the LM-symbol, IMO...let's see if they fit well together...one suggestion though, alter the symbol's color combination a bit to go with the dark pattern Zwopper made...

Just a quick and dirty one...
I will make a cleaner, crisper, not so compressed version if it gets approval.

...what the heck...
Another version...
Still compressed though...

Although I like the black version, this half-black/half-green logo I don't really like; it's not quite slick enough to match the rest of LM's artwork. It's not the quality - it's the colours.

I also think it looks good in mint-green, as per the Gnome splash I did earlier (and not just because I did it!)

Your logo takes away the debianess, while the older logo takes away the Mintiness! I don't know which one to choose

im confused. In what way does zwopper revised logo take away the debianess? how could it be when it has the debian trademark all over it...

I just think the green kills the debian look, because debian logo feels more darkish than a nice green, while the black letters from the older logo kills the mintiness. Thats all.

hahaha, looks neat and pleasing IMO. excellent bro! i tried to picture out in my mind the one you made first, i thought it looked very ugly. this one is just simply beautiful!i hope Ede will comment bout this since he's the origianl designer. he mentioned about being simplistic when it comes to making a logo, don't know if this fits his standards...

for me it doesn't matter whether or not it fits the rest of LM's artwork. i mean, we don't have a choice IMO except we drop Ede's design as a base and make another one. Ede's design is patterned with dark colors and i think we have to follow that so the logo will have consistency in its look color-wise...and in the first place, the sort of pink color of the debian twirl looks lost in the original Linux Mint logo color pattern. so i guess, we should alter it a bit so that all will fit together...am i right?

do we have a choice?...your question kind of triggered myself to ask why we should develop a Debian based Mint distro in the first place if we restrict ourselves to combine the glowish lightgreen(Mint) and dark(debian) colors...granting we really want to combine Mint and Debian down to their color trademarks...

I don't want to sound rude, but you guys are bloating up the logo. Remember where this logo will be. It will be in splashscreens, boot-ui, bootscreens, allovertheplace. And that's why simple logos work better and is more memorable. That's one of the main reasons I used a simpe deformed version of the debian twirl, so it can be resized to very low sized without looking fugly.

Let's just revision some of the best logos in the history of mankind...
Pepsi, Coca Cola, Nike, Apple, Nintendo, Sony, etc. And they are all simple. Clean. Simpe. Unbloat. And every good designer should get inspiration from this.

1. What? My design is not patterned with dark colors. This is what I made, I'we made nothing else.

I'm no stranger to the thought of replacing the black text with green.
2. It's not pink. It's magenta.
3. Why do we even need the debian-twirl? The Linux Mint-logo does not borrow anything from Ubuntu, neither does ubuntu borrow anything from debian.
4. To comment myself above, I personally like the debian-twirl, and I would like the logo to show where the base is.

You know, I'm going to create a vote. Let's vote on which logo we will use. Even though I don't like democracy.

Okay!! This is far and away the best modification of Linux Mint's logo for Debian Mint I've seen yet!!! Very nice!!!!!!!

120% agree (why 120%? well i like alcohol pitty we dont have such a great iso mounter for linux...) i'm gonna be honest here, this logo is the only one out of the lot i like and i very much agree with Ede here if you guys really want to have it green why not have the swirl a light mint green instead, making the text green just looks horrible.

[adredz]

me too..ive singled out Ede's work as the best so far...i just thought modifying it a bit in various ways would give us many of options...btw, about the poll, looks like it's taking the lead...would it be enough to justify abandoning the LM-symbol?

How about putting the Debian swirl in the "mint leaf logo"!?!?
...in the way the XFCE logo was integrated with the "mint leaf"

[adredz]

e.g.

cool...minty cool!

[adredz]

e.g.

how about adding some silver linings to make it cooler. either on the right side, left or even envelope the whole logo. don't know, just a thought...

this is nice...i like it...keep it going Agust...

i took your advice and made these test previews (the silver shadows and the envelope i figured id use the mint leaf) obviously the leaf has been resized and looks rather bad, maybe i could find the svg and resize it properly and make it again if people like it.
with silver shadow
with silver shadow and mint leaf (badly scaled) red
with silver shadow and mint leaf (badly scaled) green

[cmost]

I think the leaf in the background as well as the shadow are a bit much Kynan. I do like the subtlety of the green swirl as opposed to the typical Debian red.

[Phill]

with silver shadow

This is awesome - by far the best logo we've had, but I'm not sure about the silver in the background. Can you do one without it?
