For those that were interested in the openSUSE logo contest, the voting wrapped up on Tuesday and the results of this logo contest for new openSUSE branding have been selected.
I’m not enormously bothered by the designs themselves; the new logos look fine, although I preferred the old logo.
But what really bothers me is that they’ve gone with a whole disjointed mess of different designs for each of their sub-projects. Why on earth wouldn’t you take this opportunity to design a coherent family of logos? Bizarre missed opportunity.
What was wrong with the old logo¿?
The main logo choice is fine, no complaints there, but the choices for the others just seem so disjointed from each other (not to mention they basically just chose the old Leap logo again, but in yellow). I really liked the idea of having some sort of unifying design element across the logos to indicate they are all OpenSUSE products. There were some decent concepts with that idea floating around.
I like it, and I think the simplicity means it’ll be quite flexible.
I’m really happy with these ones
well… i prefer the old logo :(
It was perfect. I don’t understand why everything must lose its soul with material design.
Material Design was flat. Now it is lines?
