Slackware DVD print

tauon · 01-13-2022, 01:20 PM

Hello dear Slackers,

since we have the release soon I would like to bake a couple of DVDs with a fancy Slackware print on top. I googled a bit but found nothing suitable to modify easily, so I'm wondering if someone could have ideas how it should look like. I tried to sketch the cover in inkscape, but my designer skills are quite horrible (see attachment).

P.S. Happy hacking with RC-3!

Here is one I just whipped up. I can do these pretty quickly and I might make more for the fun of it. But here is a quick and dirty one I came up with.

That looks actually nice!

Here is another one I cooked up.

You seem to forget, even if many do not like it (except Patrick and me, at least

), the Flippy Logo could be the one for Slackware 15

Hmmm... didn't I hear rumours of whisky binges?

Then perhaps this for background?

Hi.

Hahaha, nice ones.

Permit me to doubt that Slackware 15.0 would be released on official DVDs ...

After all, that shop business is dead and buried since loooong time, so I believe that most likely this release would be online only.

BUT, of course the people can have their fun making their custom DVDs.

That's the point (as everything in Slackware): do it yourself if something is missing. Or ask on LQ

Well said.

That's why I use Slackware.

I had some old blank CD stickers lying around and I still do have an optical drive so I made my own discs for nostalgia's sake

.

I had started going down this route but I think I'll use Daedre's. I think something a little more modern wouldn't go amiss but I doubt I'll look at it again once it's installed.

I made them in corel draw so I can export them as a PDF or SVG for better quality. Just PM me.
