It is not that the -current may need logo. Rather the people like me, who are using -current in everyday work
may feel that this should be somehow emphasized
It is not a question of my ego. I only proposed to create a logo for slack -current. And try to explain my reasons for that. I think the idea is good, the project of the logo is also not very bad. That's all.

I personally don't think a new logo is needed for -current, but, I believe in FOSS. If you would like to develop a new logo for -current then go for it.

Ok. I have no skills to create a logo by myself, so if there is a person who are reading this thread now and is able to made good looking logo please help.
I suppose there are people, despite myself who will appreciate that.
Because you can always stay current and never go back to the official release. Simple.
But -current becomes the stable release. One day it is -current, and the next day it could be released as a stable. So if you are running -current, you will eventually be running a stable release; especially since -current usually doesn't move for a few months after a stable release (besides security updates or something major).
But as already brought up, even if -current was for some reason given it's own special logo, where would it be? Slackware employs almost zero "branding", so there isn't even an obvious place to display this hypothetical logo.

I don't feel to be competent to describe differences between stable and current. I can only say what does it mean for me. Current never becomes stable. As it is in still development. Stable release it something finished and closed. Moreover it seems for me that some features which now has -current may never appear in stable release (for different reasons). Of course maintaing -current version on your computer is rather complex task, but having -current gives you some advantages.

Perhaps I don't precisely understand your question but logos appear usually in places like web sites, splash screens, screen savers etc.
