Logo for my distro

Good point, the text is small.

> ('mnm1' could also be on a new line)
There would just be too much clutter, its either the asterisk or the text.

Here is '3' with bigger text. Thanks for the feedback smile

^ Like it smile

A design point could be to make the "screens" in proportion to screen resolutions, so a bit more rectangular?
And kern the el so that it's a bit closer to the em? (Yeah, I know it's a monospace font, but it would look more "designer" smile )
Asterix between the em and el? - keeps it monospace as well then

I still like Peachy's the best.
It's the most no-nonsense, to-the-point of the bunch. Doesn't try too hard, yet doesn't give a f*ck. Total anti-design win!!
The hinting/smoothing needs to go, though. Edit: Oh wait, that's just due to the resized thumbnail.
Looks sharp enough. The "L" is a tad too narrow in comparison to the other alphabets, imho.

Second fave would be Falkkon's. Personally I'd prefer non-rounded edges and a less curvy pixel font, fixed-width spacing of course. Screw design sensibilities!!

Falkkon · 2012-04-29 14:40:09

Changed the font and made a version with non-rounded edges on gutterslob's advice, thanks for the advice guys smile

No one listens to me, man!! ... for good reason lol .... I'm a cad (whatever that means), after all.

Sure, the more people that give feedback the easier it is for me, also I'm quite new here and I wasn't aware of your reputation hehe wink

sorry, it.s 330 in the morning and i.m jet-lagged so i.m gonna throw in my unsolicited 2 cents: fallkon, i think you were on track with that cropped asterisk / arrow. very cool. my only misgiving was the font. so i threw this together based on your original...:

ps: the grey bkgd is only there so you can see the logo against the forum.s black bkgd.

Wow! That's really, really good, I especially like what you did with the 'L', really nice work smile , I guess we'll just have to wait for xeNULL and see what he thinks.

skid vicious · 2012-05-02 19:43:39

i guess because of the jet-lag, i didn.t realize this thread had grown to two pages. i didn.t even see that you had changed the font--now THAT one i like. it.s a trip that you capitalized the "L" too--i thought i was 'innovating' that idea last night...!

skid vicious · 2012-05-03 00:25:25

ok. i admit i.ve gone off the rails here and the original post called for monochromatic but i couldn.t resist trying out a little color...

Digit · 2012-09-19 11:37:01

^ rather small. v mnml.

was just going to leave it as text, but the bracket underline kinda exentuates the smilie hiding in it, waving. i like. ;]

oh, i suppose you'd like a larger one too... sorta web sized, right?

one slightly squidged,

and one in original ratio.

and was it mention of backgrounds i read back there, and minimal? well, hrmm... here's 5 of em for you. ^_^

mild

medi

murk

dark

sloth

oh, and a black and white one too.
plain
i hope u like em. smile

XeNull dropped this distro some time ago. You're posting in a dead thread.

chameleon · 2012-09-20 19:28:26

@el_koraco
Thanks for the info.

ok so the mnml distro lost it's project leader. looks like we're a leaderless community distro now. ^_^

we have some graphics, a distro outline, and some vaporware... we're well on the way.

we could even just use quickie as a base. it's the closest thing i can think of. ^_^ less distance to go. smile

Tag - you're it! (No tagbacks!) cool

I quite like the new LinuxBBQ distro for people looking for a more minimalist approach http://www.linuxbbq.co.cc/

@Falkkon; good stuff, but i think you nailed it the first time (I like the 1st version the best).

fatmac · 2012-11-29 10:41:51

Nothing really to do with the origins of this thread, but talking small usable distros, have a look at SliTaz.

Or AntiX.
