Hi Alex, The things I like about the proposal:
- It retains the connection to the old logo (a huge plus in my book) - I like the idea of the Sun with Plasma - It would still be easy to recognize it even from the distance The problems I see with it (if it is meant to be used as the menu icon and all the similar places, and not only as a project logo): - it looks like the configuration button because it looks like the gear, even if it is really a Sun :) - I don't find it that visually appealing. The KDE logo was always on the ugly side, and I never saw a really good idea on how to improve it. You can compare it to the old and new Gnome logo - from ugly to really nice with a really small change [1][2]. Now, I do like this one more than some previous attempts including the 'dots-instead-of-gears-logo' [3], but it still is not something I'd go drooling after. - A small problem is that another project has a Sun-inspired logo - enlightenment [4]. But this is a tiny problem since the visual connection is really small. Cheers, Ivan p.s. I was not thinking that this is a VDG proposal, it was clear it is Alex's personal idea.
