Hi Nixers, As I've understood, making a logo was a goal defined 2 years ago for last year. Since a while, I was trying to think of a logo to express Nix concepts.
We have choices between: - A lazy animal (same concept as: gnu, penguin, el-diablos, ...) - A snow flake (Nix = snow, in latin) - A moon (Nix and Hydra are both moons of Pluto) As source of idea, Eelco points me to the Haskell logo suggestions: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_logos/New_logo_ideas I have made a simple logo which is attach to this mail. This logo is a "snow flake" style except that the functional programming and the laziness is highlighted by missing sub-branches of the snow-flake. I wanted to keep this logo simple in order to combine it easily with others. Thus: - Nixpkgs can have a logo where the snow-flake appear on a "package" box from where other icons are coming out (firefox, gimp, ...). - NixOS logo can show the Gnu and Linux (or BSD) logo joined by a set of snow-flakes. Snow-flakes have an hexagonal structure which make them """ modular """ because you can cover a surface without holes with snow-flakes. Unfortunately, as you may deduce from the small logo attached to this mail, I am not a very good designer. Therefore, if you like the idea I am sure we can make it concrete ;) -- Nicolas Pierron http://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolasbpierron - http://nbp.name/ Richard Feynman - I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.
