I like these very much. The simplified dog's face looks like an actual logo, rather than merely a dog. And the "reduction" aspect of the face reminds me of the reduction aspect of the Puppy OS...wow wrote:

In considering the season in the states when and where the suggestion of Eve came from, how about Summer's Eve? I'm not sure such a name would necessarily help further this cause, though. On second thought, never mind ...

Ok, I feel compelled to make a few salient points here:wow wrote:It's simple: They doesn't looks like a puppy(both), it looks like an older one
1. I didn't create the logo I offered, so I have only a limited "vested" interest in its use, but...
2. The original puppy, in honor of whom the distro was named, was a FULLY GROWN chuihuahua
3. The puppy (NOT fully grown) on which the offered logo was based is an Australian Red Kelpie - characteristically intelligent, hard working and lean, just like Puppy Linux ... and perhaps even its creator.
4. I personally want any new Puppy logo to look professional and finished, just like Puppy Linux. I believe that's the message a new logo should send from the outset.
So, in the light of that, and as attractive as they are for all sorts of reasons, I don't think MU's Vincent or the rastapax logos fit the bill. Just my $AUD0.02c worth ... currently about $US0.016cWikipedia wrote:Kelpies are loyal, friendly, intelligent, problem-solving dogs and make excellent pets. They do need to be stimulated as idle and bored dogs become frustrated and destructive. Walks and socialisation are more than sufficient to keep them happy, but agility and ball games bring out the best in them. A Kelpie is not an aggressive dog, but family pets will protect their family with no regard for themselves.
The Working Kelpie typically has an abundance of energy and deep endurance. It will often drive a mob of sheep over sixty kilometers (37 miles) and upwards in extremes of climates and conditions. Kelpies are very agile: Working Kelpies are renowned for running along the backs of sheep when moving them through chutes.

Now, now... I hope you're not going to suggest that because Australians can get Oxycontin on a 3-peat prescription for under $5.00 under the PBS that might mean we have more oxymorons than you guys!alienjeff wrote:I know a fella who thinks an oxymoron is someone hooked on oxycotin ...

As cute as the logo in post #1 is, I kind of prefer this logo above. It's simpler, more professional-looking and seems more like a logo for an operating system. It's cute without being overly cute.wow wrote:And, have you seen this? it looks more like Vincent(the new real puppy)

Ooh, I like the pawprint for the menu button...though a Mac-like circle version of the puppy logo rastapax made would also be good.MGFox wrote:Don't forget Puppy also use the good looking paw image as seen in the menu button and wallpapers; but I still like rastapax's logo better, it looks puppy (not grown up dog), clean, modern. I just hope rastapax could make a circle-glass version so it'll suitable for the menu button as well as icon.
Rasapax's logo is great
Dear puppians,
My vote goes to rastapax - since it truly looks like a logo and is very distinctive and eye-catching. I would also like to see a few glassy icons in various colours for various colour schemes that could be used for the start button...along the lines of the circular-framed paw-print above. It's a pleasure seeing creative minds at work on a good thing - and Barry's Puppy being the unifying principle.
With kind regards,
vovchik

To my eye this begins to drift toward more of a clownish dolphin than a dog.WhoDo wrote:Perhaps this is what you rastapax fans had in mind?

Ok, this is my last attempt to please everybody! After this I'll hand it back to Barry to make a decision. Otherwise we could end up going around in circles forever, and that won't get either the web page or Puppy's image updated anytime soon.
Realise that this is important to Puppy's future and please keep the comments constructive. BTW, the background color is negotiable within the web-compatible spectrum.

observation.
I have to say that if this graphic were used it looks much better inside the
square rather than the circle - again, to my eye - even with the ears it still
looks cartoon or clownish to me in the circle, perhaps less so in the square.
I am kinda drawn to the paw print as well, in fact it avoids gender and could
be taken to be about any breed dog one wants it to be!

Hello, Warren and all,
Fred Langa - Langa's List∞ 'I've been having excellent results from "Puppy Linux" of late (even though I cringe every time I type the name) Its site at http://www.puppylinux.com/∞ describes it as "blindingly fast, incredibly powerful, amazingly tiny..."
Yes, these things are subjective, but Fred's impression frankly reflected my own. Not a bad name at all, and very fine compared with Beatrix Linux (a cat) or a myriad other linux names. But that's an aside - Puppy it is forever, amen. But let's not burden it with a lame logo.
Barry's plain and simple brown head-on logo is far better, if a little severe. On the other hand his avatar is oustanding, full of character, and guess reflective of Barry's own wit and wisdom. I would vote for it.
Another logo, the dog with a flower in his mouth is just too "cute." Does not inspire confidence or professionalism.
I'm sure I am offending some here. I don't know whose these designs are, but I care enough to comment. The puppy in the JWM start button is another that I like a lot. Perhaps it might be adapted.
Thanks for your patience, if I may presume. Appreciate everything you are doing.
Henry
