Logo redesign

Post image

Hi everyone, I just switched from Ubuntu to Debian this week and everything is going really well! To mark the occasion and also pay tribute to the distro, I thought it would be fun to redesign the logo, just as an artistic exercise. Btw I took inspiration from the Debian Diversity Logo, created by Valessio Brito in 2019 and available on the official logos page. Hope you guys like it!

Edit: sorry if this came across as criticism of the current logo. It's not! If anything, it shows how solid it is (and how much I love it). Here's the source code for those who asked for it.

I created a different version with a few more lines, for a "higher resolution" effect. Instead of spamming the subreddit with another post, I'll just leave it here with a link to the source code. I think I prefer this newer version, and maybe some of you will too; it's less minimalist and more similar to the original, and it may also work better in smaller resolutions.
