@grahamc:nixos.org@grahamc:nixos.orgI've put up the samueldr-signal to get some feedback17:33:04

CRTified: what I heard back is two-fold:

  1. the geometric logos are more unique in shape, color, pattern
  2. the differently colored NixOS logos is a bit strange because it creates a ton of not-quite-the-logo logos

I'm inclined to go with the purely geometric ones

@schnecfk:ruhr-uni-bochum.deCRTifiedYea, was just an idea that I had and hacked together18:23:41
@sumner:sumnerevans.comsumnerI think it's a cool idea, but it's a bit extra IMO.18:25:24
@kevincox:matrix.orgkevincoxMaybe something more subtle would be a black logo on top of a random colour? But that may not provide as much differentiation.18:27:05
@grahamc:nixos.org@grahamc:nixos.orggood idea on adding autogenerated to the content-type, I've done so: https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/nixos.org/7ddbde62f62810a7c9eaabfd0a11ef1ce4d87ef218:34:03
