Re: Bring back the penguin!!
No.
I seriously believe that the former forum logotype featuring a penguin with the Debian swirl within its left eye was poorly designed and didn't add value to the forum aesthetics, something important if you consider that this is the de facto forum of the Debian community. I think my opinion is shared by other community members who want to improve the forum.

But the forum isn't officially part of the debian software foundation, or whatever it is, anyway. that is why it is .net, not .org.

Come on. I know you're smarter than that.987687 wrote:But the forum isn't officially part of the debian software foundation, or whatever it is, anyway. that is why it is .net, not .org.
If you knew nothing about Debian and you stumbled across this forum, wouldn't you assume that it's part of the Debian Project?

Re: Bring back the penguin!!
Yeah, I guess. But if people are scared away from debian because they don't like the logo on the forums... I dunno, maybe they should go live in a box or something.Soul Singin' wrote:Come on.

Re: Bring back the penguin!!

Look up the meaning of de facto.987687 wrote:the forum isn't officially part of the debian software foundation, or whatever it is, anyway.
You can't be serious, you know design does matter. People and companies care about their image, for many, their brand is their greatest asset.987687 wrote:if people are scared away from debian because they don't like the logo on the forums...
I can easily block a logotype, the point is that I care about the forum and that logotype didn't add value. In your terms, while it might not scare people away, it might not please them either.

Do you mean Tuz?lancelot wrote:At first I thought it was a post against Tux.
As for the negative effect of Psychotux on the community, I don't recall all that many complaints.
Re: Bring back the penguin!!
When I came here for the first time, I knew for sure that it isn't official. I was looking for a link on http://www.debian.org and didn't find one, so that means that there's no official forum that must be clear to everyone. And that .net confirmes it.Soul Singin' wrote:If you knew nothing about Debian and you stumbled across this forum, wouldn't you assume that it's part of the Debian Project?
Back on topic: What about temporary Tuz with some swirls ? Who will volunteer to design it? (I'd do that but I don't know a **** about computer graphics...)
And BTW the old penguin is cool! And I want him back.
Because let’s face it, the unfortunate aspect of software development is that it involves humans. Mewling, disorganized, miserably analog humans. Sometimes they smell bad.
