Bottom row, 2nd from the left. Simple, clean, distinct.

Aliyaut’s logo? It is clean, but it’s hardly even identifiable as a gecko. It blends in too much with all the modern corporate logos we have today IMHO. It’s not a bad choice if they decide to go with it, but they could do better.

Please not another ultra minimal mono color logo

Too bad for you, they already have the logos for some of the variants and that's exactly what they're going for.

Yeah felt very obvious which ones will be chosen regardless of the survey...

I don’t feel like they’re inherently bad, but they’ve become so popular that they all feel like they’re blending together. I think it’s kind of stale at this point.

In my opinion one of the full design themes should be picked because some of those single designs look very nice individually but would clash with others.

My pick would be Emiliano's theme, it looks the most like an evolution of the opensuse style. Imo the others are either a bit too minimalist or deviate too strongly from the original design.

Nikolayan's design is also good, but I prefer Emiliano's because that you can recognise the chameleon better in every logo.

I like this one

It is a friendly recognizable chameleon and they did a good job with integrating the existing abstract logos.

From the Solo designs I loved the ones with the branch with different endings a lot. It had a warm touch to it, but was a little to filigrane for a logo.

That one is my favourite. Cute chameleon (or was it gecko), but also simple. Looks great

Always has been a chameleon. It was named Geeko, which generated some confusion.

Note that there are way more logos than those you see in the preview.

Bottom row, far right. Simple, minimalist, caffeinated, unhinged.

I don’t hate it. I feel like the goofy smile makes it just distinguishable enough to stick out from all the other minimalist logos.

Is there a reason given why they can't use their current logo?

They can, they just want to change branding to look less like SUSE logo

Can someone explain to me what the fuck are the abominations labeled "Pab150n"?

I am a bit late but this is the description: Represents the redesign of the SUSE logo to combine it with Colombian styles from the 70s and 80s

I liked the ones that didn't stray too much from the original. I always liked the gecko, but found it to be a bit weird looking.

I really like these two : 1000000785 1000000786

too bad they're already doing minimal mono color logos. maybe if one of these designs shifted to adding up all of the colors of the remixes it'd work

I love all of the minimalist options here, they are so cute!

I just hope they don't ruin the logo with too much minimalism. There are good submission in all of that

Personally, I like the theme by td0 the most. Minimalism was never my preferred style. Although, I don't like the color choice for leap specifically.

Bottom and 2nd from left Bottom and right most

These look nice

The Leap version logo where there is a line 'making' a leap is very clever

The survey was absolute hell on mobile until I actually read the part where it says you can just double click. Made it so much easier. I personally chose the more intricate designs as my favorite and less intricate and more simplified designs as my least favorite. Detailed and intricate designs or nothing for me.

The center bottom one looks like the sicp snake.
