The four inner planet, the D is the orbit of Ceres. The font is Fira Sans Thin with 15px rounded stroke. The E is based on a U.

Honestly I much prefer this:

Another fat variant...

Oops wrong file... And I can't remove nor edit the comment!

Something like this? Or maybe not . . .

edit - shortened the ends of the 'E' a bit. If the swoosh weren't so bottom heavy it would look better

I think this is the one...

Or without the planets for comparison...

Final pass?

The'E' is too square and the swoosh is too bottom heavy. Planets are too fussy IMO. Here's a rough transformation:

I tried various things. Not very happy because DE reads more like an X. Maybe the first two lines work best, otherwise I propose sticking to the previous e (last line).

The last one is getting there. But the curve of the 'E' should match the curve of the 'U' and 'N'. The diff is currently disharmonious. And maybe move the swoosh a bit to the left?

Ahem, the last one has the same curve as the U and the N. It's just cut a bit short, so it does not show. Meanwhile I gave another pass to the swoosh and the asymetric E.

hellekin: Check post above yours. That new 'E' sucks.

The first line uses the previous swoosh. The second line uses the original swoosh, but is too thin as small scale. The last two lines use something in-between, with the particularity that the "E" part is the same size as other letters.

So... Back to the previous E?

Only if you move the swoosh to the left a bit.

here you go

BTW I redrew the E starting from the U and ensured no distortion happened while resizing it. You have a keen eye :)

hellekin: Yes, I do. I have done a lot of art in my life. ;) I think we've got it!

Someone's coming presently to help in the garden so I'll be away for a while.

\\o/ Me too... Gotta get some food. Letting the issue open just in case someone wants to have us work more (and tip us \xf0\x9f\x91\x8d )

Trying a little thinner, @golinux

That's better, I think. Do not like the one posted here #21 (comment 998) Now that the font is thinner, the swoosh could be moved left a smidge.

This:

@hellekin . . . Nice. One question . . . are the head and tail of the swoosh the same distance from the top and bottom of the 'C'? I can't tell whether it's an optical illusion because the head is thicker but it looks like it hangs down more than the tail goes up.

Here are the two versions for comparison. As soon as you confirm OK, I run outside for some carbon to burn incense, then I update the backgrounds with colors and shapes and stuff.

@hellekin I added a question above. Not vital to the choice but I'm curious. I definitely prefer the lighter font. You've done amazing work putting this together.

Yes, the tail is off by an inch... Do you prefer them aligned?

@hellekin . . . Finally the proportions are balanced!! That you for being so responsive to my nitpicking. But well worth it for the final result. ;) YES! Go with the one above (1007).

My opinion isn't so valuable as i understand of graphics about how a bacteria understand about quantum physics, anyway, i like it :)

Hi,

The SVG link is broken. Can you point to a valid one, please ?

Thank you.

@fredg , nice catch. I corrected the link to point to https://git.devuan.org/devuan-editors/devuan-art/blob/jessie/graphics/logo/devuan-logo.svg
