A cauldron has something magical in it, you put things in +</I>><i> to it, and it comes something wonderful out of it, for someone not +</I>><i> knowing what the man/woman does it sounds like a mirracle. Isn't just +</I>><i> this the meaning of our philosophy? Providing the user a distribution +</I>><i> where he thinks wow it works, it don't know how but it works. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> And that's a point I see when thinking about our logo. +</I> +I hardly see the cauldron and the nest there. I don't see anything of +all this in the logo. For me, it is just an accessibility sign that is +not pleasant but has just been made to comply to the most strict +guidelines and rules. + +Honestly, the more I try to cope with the logo, the more I actually +dislike it. I am really afraid of the sort of artwork I will have to +support with such an ugly white/black thing. A simple black line could +have been drawn, it would have been exactly the same. I use to like, or +at least cope with many things, even the Ia Ora theme I always described +as quite old looking, I still manage to appreciate it. But this logo +makes me really depress about what will come next. And what worries me +even more is that I am not alone at all in this situation. + +I am really sorry, but I just want to say the truth about how I feel +with this logo. I am so sorry, but I _really_ do not like this logo. In +the future, if there are trolls of bad comments on it, expect me to hate +it. I do not like myself being like this. I feel like my attitude is +wrong, but I can see Mageia as a credible project without a credible +logo. It may be serious, but not credible. + +I hope I am wrong and that Mageia will become popular and successful, +but I feel really sad when I see this logo I see as our flagship, and it +really deceives me. +There is nothing nice in it. + +All my apologies for this. I still accept it, but it is really hard to +cope with a flagship you find really depressing, while you really like +the project, want to participate in it and let it grow, working with +people you like. +-------------- next part -------------- +An HTML attachment was scrubbed... +URL: </pipermail/mageia-discuss/attachments/20101218/b9c24fc1/attachment.html> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="003265.html">[Mageia-discuss] Mandriva breakage warning *** important *** +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="003248.html">[Mageia-discuss] Habemus logo +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#3247">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#3247">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#3247">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#3247">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
