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.
