The openSUSE community’s logo contest submission phase is now complete and voting for the logos has begun.
This competition marks a pivotal moment for openSUSE and the voting goes until Dec. 10.
Before making any selections, people are encouraged to visit en.opensuse.org/Logocontest and view the logos before voting.
The number of submissions speaks volumes about the community’s enthusiasm and engagement with 18 submissions for Kalpa, 24 submissions for Slowroll, 21 submissions for Leap, 32 submissions for Tumbleweed and an impressive 36 submissions for a potential new openSUSE logo.
Aliyaut’s logo? It is clean, but it’s hardly even identifiable as a gecko. It blends in too much with all the modern corporate logos we have today IMHO. It’s not a bad choice if they decide to go with it, but they could do better.
I don’t feel like they’re inherently bad, but they’ve become so popular that they all feel like they’re blending together. I think it’s kind of stale at this point.
In my opinion one of the full design themes should be picked because some of those single designs look very nice individually but would clash with others.
My pick would be Emiliano's theme, it looks the most like an evolution of the opensuse style. Imo the others are either a bit too minimalist or deviate too strongly from the original design.
Nikolayan's design is also good, but I prefer Emiliano's because that you can recognise the chameleon better in every logo.
It is a friendly recognizable chameleon and they did a good job with integrating the existing abstract logos.
From the Solo designs I loved the ones with the branch with different endings a lot. It had a warm touch to it, but was a little to filigrane for a logo.
The survey was absolute hell on mobile until I actually read the part where it says you can just double click. Made it so much easier. I personally chose the more intricate designs as my favorite and less intricate and more simplified designs as my least favorite. Detailed and intricate designs or nothing for me.
I use Tumbleweed, but I am very aware that openSUSE has the absolute worst logos on the scene—and that this contest will do nothing to change that. Sad.
