@thoughtcrime: nice, i like em both!

hm, i wonder tough, how would the black and white pictture look like with only the contour of the text. The text being hollow.

thisoldman · 2010-01-17 16:00:11

I'm surprised no one did the obvious with a herd of wildebeest, yet. So...

Nice! (No svg, so I guess you don't work with Inkscape either. Or do you? )

Could you try to center the archhurd tag (vertically) somehow?

This one is the best.

I really can't decide which of these three I like the most…

I think the top one would match the website best. You could make a archhurd-artwork package which features the other ones, so they could be used on other artwork such as wallpapers.

EDIT: But a new thread with a poll (which includes all the submissions in this thread of course) would be best!
EDIT2: And I think you should set a deadline, when the voting will begin. That way others will have the chance to submit/improve their ideas, too.

I think these would be perfect to show the project's general progress. You could start with the last one and, when, say, 50 % is done, switch to the middle one… You get the idea.

Nice logos, thoughtcrime.

Thanks!

I don't think that you can tell when a distribution is done (especially for a rolling release one)

Deadline added to first post.

I prefer the "GNU/Hurd distribution" over the "hurd distribution", but that's easily changed.

I thought about that, too. But the archlinux logo also does just use "linux", so I kept it in the same way. Besides, the archlinux logo does not use capital letters, so it looks a bit strange in my opinion.

zowki · 2010-01-17 19:33:15

Also you could do away with the slash and use GNU Hurd since Hurd is GNU software.

Or just "a GNU distribution"?

I guess that this would mean that archhurd would only use free software. I don't know whether they want that (archlinux does not).

Who are you implying as "they" and who is "archlinux"? Anyways back on topic, saying that it is a GNU distribution does not imply that you are using purely free software. Its just means that it uses GNU software. Even wikipedia uses the term GNU/Linux distribution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_distribution

I am just not quite sure if "GNU Linux" means the same as "GNU/Linux". But this is really getting off-topic here.

Okay lets have a vote. I vote this:

I added a deadline to the first post, Friday the 22nd—to give people plenty of time to make submissions.

Though, if it looks like submissions have dried up I'll move the deadline.
