@lennart:0520.chlennartall good. best of luck on that07:24:26
@leona:leona.isleona I can say that Sigmanificientalready did some work on a release logo :) 07:24:48
@leona:leona.isleona And lennart, I originally wanted another animal with X (Xerus), but then someone made me aware, that Ubuntu already used that and I don’t want that ^^ 07:26:11
@lennart:0520.chlennarttypical Canonical 🙄07:26:54
@lennart:0520.chlennarthappy to read the results of the discussion on guidlines, including call for artworks. let's leave it at that? I know there are much more more important tasks for a release :)07:28:17
@leona:leona.isleonabtw there is at least one public domain image of a xantusia: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Xantusia_vigilis1.jpg This was actually one of the criteria, as for quite a lot of other X-animals I could find none07:31:36

hi, with previous releases the release artworks got asked for and committed to https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-artwork/

that repo got replaced with https://github.com/NixOS/branding and a blank wiki page https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Artwork

the branding repo has no mention of the previous release artworks https://github.com/search?q=repo%3ANixOS%2Fbranding%20%22Warbler%22&type=code

djacu – who did this change – is not in this channel and I do not want to have contact with them.

I justed wanted to let you know, that this will be come a problem if we want to continue having release artworks.

I did three artworks, for 23.11, 24.05, 24.11.

(to be honest, this nonsense changes and blind activism primarily by such "branding" efforts is driving me further away from the community. this is not a front against you all in this channel, it's just … stupid actions by some (who are not in this channel I guess.)

As @leona:leona.ispointed out, we (marketing team) are fully aware that release logos have to be part of the process. Though we want to streamline them as well. These effort's were already measured in for a while.

I am a bit confused though you call these changes nonsense. I respect your opinion but this is just a larger effort to document and bring together all things that visually represent nix so we can have a more uniform presentation to the outside world and help people find proper documentation when working on visual material.

08:25:40
@lennart:0520.chlennartI call them nonsense since they break the processes, with close to zero transparency on such changes. good that Marketing Team is fully aware, looking forward to the results before 25.11 release date. as proposed previously, lets leave it at that. 08:28:45

I agree vcunat, as I previously did that work.

unfortunately a living Xantusia is outside of my reach to snap a picture. I'd recommend on not violating copyright laws, as was done previously most time.

I personally used that picture, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xantusia#/media/File:Xantusia_vigilis1.jpg) which is public domain!
10:32:41
@lennart:0520.chlennarthej no worries, I did not mean you. I just want transparent processes with clear guidelines and nothing breaking and no trouble like copyright claims. this is a bit exhausting, gonna see what weekend brings, bye10:34:19

@avocadoom:avocadoom.deavocadoomLooks awesome already 😍10:44:30
@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]what if the tail, instead of being over the lgo, wrapped under some of the lambdas? Might make for an interesting visual design15:14:40
@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]and gives it a bit of depth and complexity without seeming too much more complex15:14:56
@pyrox:pyrox.devdish [Fox/It/She]love the work so far though!15:16:35

@leona:leona.isleonaI wanted to post the official discourse post. The original idea was a general post like “multiple people suggesting their ideas”, but it could also turn out to be some collaborative effort20:16:38
@leona:leona.isleonaStill, I could just post it for now, and then we see how it turns out20:17:01
@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatMatrix threads tend to have bad UX, I think.20:17:15

Oh i dont want to take any decision against you, i was just happy to share the file 😅 I do think like a collaboraive effort could be nice 👀
20:18:36
@leona:leona.isleonaI could also additionally open a matrix room at my HS to discuss this in further detail, open for all who are interested20:18:49
@sigmanificient:matrix.orgSigmanificientCount me it!20:19:54
