Hi,
I made a new TDE logo, just to see what it could be, so I want to have your impressions on it. I used as a base the aKregator icon from the KFaenza icon theme. I remove the logo in the middle and replaced it by TDE base logo, from the moon svg background. I used cooler blue color gradient than the original to replace the orange of the aKregator logo.
Tell me what you think! Thank you! -Alexandre

It seems a little garish and "Apple-like" to me. What do others think?
Thanks!

Just forget about it. It was just a fast mockup of what it could be.

No problem. Thanks for coming up with an idea and presenting it for review here; your other changes to TDE have greatly improved its overall appearance!

I never replied, whoops. What I was going to say is i like the border on this image more, it's somehow simpler for my eye

I don't think "garish" is the word. "Flat" is closer to how I'd express it.
The old logo displays a certain amount of skeuomorphism--it's set up to make it look like we're looking at a reflective surface. Alexandre's candidate logo has a plain gradient background and makes no attempt to look like anything but a chunk of pixels. It has no depth, no suggestion of being made of a real-world material (unless you count the drop shadow).
"Flat" is currently the fashion in user-interface design, but I don't like it and I see no reason to pursue the trend (although we could consider offering an *alternative* icon set, widget style, and window decoration style using a flat aesthetic, to attract users who *do* like that style).
The logo icon in particular suffers from an additional problem--the gradient's too light at the top, and doesn't offer enough contrast with the logo proper. Fixing that wouldn't be enough to make me like it better than the old one, though.
