Re: The End ... The Beginning ... And THE NEW NAME

I'm liking a Bunsen name more and more. "Another exciting release from Bunsen Labs"
It keeps a Muppets connection for naming etc., and it lends itself well to icons and artwork

http://i.imgbox.com/8vJaJFCt.jpg

And we have even a simple character representation:
           ♨!
Or
          ⏈!
Or even
           ☕!
(so called HotBeverage ... heated by Bunsen burner).

"Make it so."  (After all, you guys did want me to captain this tugboat, right?)  The working title is BunsenLabs (space optional).

Sounds good!
For the final version, can we let the 'Labs' out? Sounds crispier
But happy with both logo and name theme.

Re: The End ... The Beginning ... And THE NEW NAME

Just one little thing before closing: The logo looks indeed better with a bigger swirl at small sizes.
OTOH that triangle bottle is better IMO because it's a universal symbol for lab work, chemistry and stuff (even if it's not a science/chemistry based distro, but that's a whole other debate). It's just much easier to recognize (I think I've seen this kind of icon for indicating danger of chemical products, for example).
The other item just looks too obscure in its meaning.
Of course if you put both side by side, by association you get a clear meaning. But if you ask a total stranger about what it means, even a child could tell you what that triangle bottle is. The other item? I highly doubt it.

My 2 cents again, just an opinion.

But how could it be called Bunsen without the Bunsen burner?
Maybe it needs both then.. but never without the burner!!! 

edit: aye!

Re: The End ... The Beginning ... And THE NEW NAME

True. Maybe a clearer design then. Or a better name, but as I said, that's another debate that won't happen. I didn't keep the logo and most of the looks of crunchbang anyway, so it's not that important.

Nothing more to add.

Re: The End ... The Beginning ... And THE NEW NAME

The name should be something simple that sticks in the mind.

"I/O Linux"

User 1: Guys I need a great lightweight distro!
User 2: Go for I/O Linux, stable and great community.

Re: The End ... The Beginning ... And THE NEW NAME

Aye.

And if it's Bunsen LABS or Whatever LABS, then the Erlenmeyer flask (triangular thing) is enough without depicting the actual Bunsen burner that looks like a candle anyways and everybody knows what Bunsen means.

I/O Linux = 4 syllables
Bunsen Labs = 3 syllables

(just to show, that it's not long at all)
