Description: I thought this would look cool on a shirt. All made from vector graphic scratch. Any suggestions are welcome.
Note: I'm always looking for ways to improve it. So if you give a good vote or a bad vote, take a second and tell what you like and what you think I could improve on, it would be very cool and helpful. Thanks .Last changelog:
What's New? -penguin has been replaced by my konqui(first pic.. suggestions?) -reguar no mascot picture is in the second pic. -I thought of changing "Where Beauty Meets Brains" to "Customize. Create. Innovate".. which is what the three icons stand for. What do you think?
What's Old? 4.0 -a lot of shading work on the wheels. -now featuring 2 different looks: -the new look is in screenshot1. -the traditional look is in screenshot2. which one do you like better? -added conference text.
3.0: -the first screenshot -a lot of work on the KDE sign to polish the look. -removal of traces of small trasparent patches in the file. -the polishing of the text below kde. -and of course needed to add a more linux feeling so added a penguin peeking in through the letter 'd'.
2.0: -The second screenshot. -The file now includes a big trasparent png version. -The file also includes svg(source). -Gears have been rotated so they can move and aren't stuck .
Well, I never liked the Crystal Penguin. While it looks funny on a desktop it looks somehow irritated or even mad. I don't think that this is good for an conference. Maybe you should try the original tux here?
And then KDE does not only run on Linux. A lot of people use it on *BSD or even Solaris.
you're really improving it. the first time I looked at the shots, I didnt really like them.
but now I do ;-)
the first screenshot is very good, imho. And I like the colorful nature of the pics.
the second one is 'too empty'.
I must say its VERY nice...
But how many times do you plan on upgrading this? it's getting a little old.
I dont mean to be a jerk ... im just telling you that people may feel the same way and vote it down.
This will probably be one of my last upgrades(might be one more.) I basically update it every time there is something that people request that I think warrants an update(such as the conference connection, putting up source.) I soon won't have any time to work on it and i like feedback, which is why i've updated it so often recently.
I think the font of the text is much more smooth in the one with the penguin. I like the 3rd edition most :).
Looking forward to see more artworks of you, artur.
I'm wondering why this picture "only" got 78% yet.
I actually like the penguin a lot, i think it matches but I could see where you can say that it looks good without it too(it might draw away attention from the left). But it is really a matter of personal taste. I could post both versions in the file w/ penguin and w/o. We could have a little vote hehehe. :)
Nice work! :) I would like it if you would post a png version with an transparent background, so that I can set my own favorite background color.
Please remember: If you release your wallpaper under the GPL, you have to post your source (e.g. the gimp file), too.
Thanks. :)
Hi there...
Nice logo I like it (No vote yet... I am waiting for more entries...), but one question: Do you plan to release the vector sources (what format are they in?)? Otherwise the PNG is too small for anything (Wallpaper, T-Shirt etc.) and the license (GPL) doesn't really make sense without the source...

I think this would look great on a shirt. The colors and shading is great and the layout is good too :)
One suggestion though, the pencil and paper looks a little busy compared with the other gear centers... maybe it could use a little simplification?

yeah konqi can work here too
Yeah! Konqi would be great! He could look out of the O and cover some parts of it with his head.
Konqi looks great. You got my vote.
Hey, you're really improving. Nice!

although it looks nice, I do not get the link to the conference.
Hehehe this connection can be made. I'll make another release.
I like this submission a lot. I must admit though, that while the penguin is amusing, i think i prefer the version without the penguin in it.

The pinguin looking through the "D" is funny :))

looks great :)
Thank you for adding the picture and source. Now, that's my new background picture... :)

yes please post the xcf file. This can be used in several places. Fab
Well noted, i'll update the package to include a trasparent version and svg source.
Hey, the gears are jammed! :-) D.

I think this would make a great shirt! I wouldn't mind wearing one. :) In fact, this would make a nice wallpaper too.

Yeah I think that is a great suggestion, i'll remove the writing on the paper and the pencil. Thanks!
