I am sorry to say this, but this one looks soulless to me.
It looks a bit better with Tux's face: https://pmarks.net/posted_links/tux-weeble.png

#52It looks like a Hollow Knight character.

#53I was always partial to the Linux logo with the red triangle (from 1994): https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/logos/raytraced/linux-povl...>.

That's a nazi concentration camp badge of shame, I think?

"Political prisoner", in fact.

#55Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can we bring this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Crystal128-penguin.s... version back instead? I hear Apple has decreed that glossy/glassy design is cool again.
I'm a fan of the 2nd revision myself, it's sooo Web 2.0 https://seeklogo.com/vector-logo/492036/linux-tux But the OG Tux remains undefeated I'm afraid
That's the one (besides OG Tux) I liked most. Though the "glassy" original Tux wasn't bad at all.

If anything, this would be point in its favor. That is, if we are to care whatsoever about nazi rules from a century ago.

#57I thought this would be about the other Linux logo, that preceeded the penguin:
Re: The Other Linux Logo
#58I feel bad to be this critical but it fails in direct, context free recognizability. It fails to evoke "penguin". I wouldn't have recognized it as a penguin without context, and I doubt others would without priming.
The "seated" option adds the feet and helps make it more recognizable.
Re: The Other Linux Logo
#59This is great. I made a download button a while ago. The Apple and Windows logos scale down, look great, and are easily identifiable. Tux is great, but just doesn't scale down. Tried about 10 variants to get one that is recognizable, but also works at smaller sizes. Many attempts at this from many people: https://www.svgrepo.com/vectors/linux/
i've seen people use emojis and i think it makes sense: just use an apple, window, and penguin emoji, and the platform will usually display something reasonable at ~all scales

Tux evokes "earless chimpanzee with duck feet" for me, anyway.
Or swimming fins maybe since they're enormous.
