First one is quite nice.

I thought we were focusing on user freedom not being anti-systemd. A better slogan might be "The freedom to choose"

What @golinux said. My response was longer though:

TL;DR: transparency? no systemd-bashing (in this context ;)

---

thank you for these mockups. I share the enthusiasm of jaromil for your efforts, with a couple of exceptions:

• 1. Can you make the white transparent on the logotype version? For a dark support, I'd rather use a white logo (also with transparent border).

  • Note that I'd support a first run like this to see how the cut renders in context.

• 2. I think we should contain systemd-bashing to the init-freedom campaign that stemmed from the fire. Devuan is a fast, radical turn: it's not to be defined ad contrario. The badge MUST NOT say anything negative, especially not about systemd; as we put in the intro for init freedom: "At Devuan we're more interested in programming them wrong than looking back." Our generic tagline is: "software freedom, your way".

I guess the badges are more a "powered by" thing or "foo inside", so I'm not sure it would work for this format. What about a camera shutter with the emblem instead?

Been thinking about this. Might it not be better to use devuan.org on the first sticker? Or perhaps include "software freedom your way" because very few will know what Devuan even is. IOW better messaging is needed IMO.

I like the first sticker as it is. It's a sufficient keyword (and image) to lookup and find out more about Devuan. The cut is nicely balanced and highlights the dynamic of the logotype.

I'm still pondering the message on the second one though. Does it make sense to put:

Software freedom
    your way

in that context, and on two lines (centered, no comma)?

I'm willing to follow-up and ask for a first run of the logotype to see how it works, and wait a bit more for the second sticker.

I like that! That orientation won't fit on my bumper though . . . Could you do one side by side?

AFAIK it's a template used by many, the "powered by" thingie Intel started ("Intel Inside"), so it should fit on your bumper. I guess you mean using landscape instead of portrait, and have the white and black parts side by side. I fear the sticker would be too small to be easily readable.

Size: 2.6 x 1.7 cm ( source )

I liked the first one, and I'd like the option to have a solid (not transparent) background color so the logos I use it to cover wont bleed through.

The second one is a bit inciteful and the "universal base OS" sounds a bit awkard. Perhaps "init-freedom inside" to go with the intel theme or omit the text altogether?

Hey @itstaken , how is "universal base OS" awkward? This is what we want to do :)

I think we'll run another collection for init freedom . Init freedom is larger than Devuan, I'd like to keep it that way. If we appropriate it too much, other free distros won't be able to.

So for the first run I'd go for:

• black logo on white background
• white logo on transparent (to test how it renders)
• badge logo with "DEVUAN"

Note on the badge: I asked for a sample with "universal base OS" to evaluate the readability.

For alternatives, please take the sticker poll on talk.do .

That's very cool. Thanks!

I saw the poll and want to suggest that the badge has a few variations available.

Nice logo , same as Daniel, only change as " Universal OS Freedom for You DEVUAN"

How about Numero Uno!

I posted this on the poll page at tdo, and golinux suggested I post it here. Inspired by "Intel inside"

Devuan

This might work for the Europeans, but the Americans would all read it as "deviant."
