Logo design for Easy Linux
My proposed new distribution Easy Linux remains a mystery, even to me.
But, the ideas are gradually coming together.
I have very briefly stated what Easy Linux is here, as well as a suggested logo:
http://barryk.org/news/?viewDetailed=00368
The SVG image looks basically OK, I suppose, but I would like it to not look so much like the original PNG that I found on the Internet.
If any artistic person feels inspired to tweak it a bit, make it look a bit more unique, keeping the friendly/welcoming/thumbs-up look of it, please go for it!
If no one does, after awhile, I might have a go at tweaking it a bit myself, though my initial attempts just made it look worse -- I don't seem to have that "artistic gene".

I think I can't do that as a graphics, though I got a picture in mind:
How about a smiling Puppy like, lying in a hammock, stretching out an arm and holding the thumb up?

"you only wanted to work your Puppies in German", "you are a separatist in that you want Germany to secede from Europe" (musher0) :lol:
No, but I gave my old drum kit away for free to a music store collecting instruments for refugees! :wink:

Yeah, there are probably other ways to convey the message of "easy" in the logo.LazY Puppy wrote:I think I can't do that as a graphics, though I got a picture in mind:

Probably a picture of a strumpet would not be appropriate
I probably don't want a "Puppy" icon in the logo, as the proposed distro is not a fork of Puppy, something different, just with lots of Puppy ideas in it.

Probably not the strumpet, but I can imagine a lazybones with thumbs up or even an Raptor or Eagle (grinning wide over the entire face) for the easiness of getting things done on a high level... etc.pp.

You could avoid the need to distribute any logos or background pictures with a simple gradient
background plus the text 'Easy OS'.

Yes, I suppose that is one way to design a logo. It would avoid all the hassles of trying to come up with a nice face/thumb-up or whatever.

when the dog sits behind a computer it shows the simplicity
If you place the dog behind a computer it might tell -even a dog can use linux-.drunkjedi wrote:some smiling dog showing thumbs up cartoons I found on google search.

possible logo for the dog's/head's hat?
...never noticed those attachment boxes at the bottom of the post interface before...been here over three years i think...
anyway, a couple of images that popped into my head at "easy linux" (first two versions were even worse/they're terrible but they work all by themselves):

A few years ago I put together a system of putting svg icons on buttons.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=88715
While doing so I had to collect as many freeware svg icons as possible.
If you look through the package you might see something that interests you.
