We now have a new versioning and new name KDE 3.5 -> TDE 14 It seems logical to me to provide a new logo and complete this part of the transition.
I don't see any such logical connection.
I think TDE14 should have a new logo and completely agree with Thomas.
Lisi and I don't. We're probably not the only two.
The old logo with the gear is causing negative connotations to KDE
Has someone proven this somehow?
But new logo would be appropriate for the new TDE 14 branch, no?
No. 14 branched over a year ago, as if branching was even relevant in logo selection.
I thought we are talking about a logo - did I miss something? I have seen such transitions in big companies and mostly it is success. The point is to cut the associations with KDE.
KDE needs to cut its associations with KDE. TDE doesn't. TDE is what KDE was at its best, and a bit more. The current KDE is an abomination, nothing like what it was when TDE forked. It's a frequent crasher, memory hog, and time waster. Many good features were lost in the scratch rewrites since forking. And even though the project remains KDE and the web site remains kde.org, its focus centers on Plasma, and with it the connotation of change, contra-stability, even change for change's sake.
I personally do not care what logo it has.
Then why so much input from you advocating a change?
Why don't we vote on it? I have the subjective impression most of the people here liked the triquetra idea.
Voting is fine, as long as you're able to get the silent and content majority unsilenced. A vote here on devel would be anything but fair, unless fair means only the vociferous count.
