Hey there,

I had some free time today so I decided to redesign the logo, what are your thoughts?

Example propaganda image:
Imgur

Logo (png):

Banner (for github readme):
Imgur

This is a vector (svg) so you can scale it at any size. You are free to do whatever you want with it (if you don't think it is too ugly haha), that's a gift for this awesome OS that I'm using everyday!

I like the current one, because the bluer tones invoke the frozen/snowflake theme more.

I can try to use bluer tones if you want

I like the re-imagining of the logo, in particular I like the blue pink and white going on. That said, I don't think updating the logo is on the table right now :)

Thank you ! <3
I didn't create it with the intention of replacing the current logo haha. I'ld love to see people use it in wallpapers for example tho!

Not a fan of it over the current version we have, but i do think it would make a great addition to the artwork in general.

You can see on my nixconfig repo. wallpaper.png on root.
I'm not designer or anything so I just used fill tool on gimp to edit nixos logo color and I put it above palenight background though.

I'm just closing this because it has created some confusion about what NixOS's official logo is. Thank you for submitting it!

I really like these colors. It feels welcoming, special, professional. Thanks for sharing!

But i don't think we should change our current logo (that much) since we have build a brand over the years. If at all, changes should get applied in small iterations like professional brands do.

Thanks, I understand what you mean. If you want I could try to make one or two iterations between the current logo and this one so the transition would be better.

@Th0rgal yes, that would be nice. you can try to make the colors colder, so it looks more frozen :D

Then, i guess the forum is the best place to discuss it.

Is there anyway to re-open this issue? I do really think the Nix logo could do with a facelift.

  • The small gaps between the Lambda's really doesn't scale well when the logo is zoomed out.
  • I'm personally not a massive fan of the font they use for Nix either.

Interestingly there currently is a slight shadow on each lambda but I think that should either be removed or made more prominent like in the suggested logo in this issue.

+1 on this.

The logo needs to be in vector (SVG) format to be seen qualitative in every use-cases

Maybe reproducing the proposed logo from the current https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/blob/master/logo/nix-snowflake-colours.svg icon would be the simplest way
