My Logo is better
Can we help Patrick Volkerding to have a better logo for Slackware Linux? Please post here your creations.
This is mine: http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/319/mylogojn7.png
It was made in GIMP (Slackware-current), with a cheap graphic tablet. |

Do you want an honest or a diplomatic answer?  |

I just want the old logo (no need for a new one, IMHO), so that I can change "Slackwars" in my LQ profile back to "Slackware".  |

Exactly. The new logo wouldn't be that bad if it was made well enough to actually look like what it says..or then it simply was intentional. Go figure.. |

I look forward to the day when I can visit the Slackwars site and see a Slackware logo, preferably the old one. |

Why do I care what other distro-users think of Slackware's logo? They already think Slackware is an aging dinosaur that is too complex for someone with a PhD in computer engineering to use. I know different, but they certainly do not. At least they're mentioning Slackware in the first place. Right?

Well those of us that run Slackware have become somewhat elite... I don't care what the logo looks like. It's the performance under the hood that counts...

The old one was quite good, the new on is hardly readable. Ok, give me a few days and I'll post mine. Not that it will really change anything, maybe I'll submit it to the propaganda page afterwards.

Ok, during that time I installed inkscape and made a new logo, it's now on my website (link in my sig), but as I know people have trouble accessing it, here it is on an image host:

Oh, and I have also submitted this to the propaganda page.
