How would you rate these three logos?
> flat
> trendy
> 90s
Tux is the best because it appeals to small children and adults with developmental issues thanks to its friendly cartoon feel, which is excellent news since that is exactly the demographics likely to use it.
>windows
Plain and boring. 2/10
>os x
Really just an X but still manages to look more interesting than the Windows logo thanks to the colors. 6/10
>linux
Pure autism. Is this the logo of an operating system or a game for kids? 0/10

Visual appeal is inversely proportional to technological capability, the irony.

>windows 5/10
Their tacky old colourful shit was better. Now it just looks plain lazy
>osx
It's obvious they're trying to go for the hip $waggy hipster look but it's the best out of the three.

god damn retarded. looks like a logo for a day-care center where children get molested

>Really fucking dumb logo. I'm not gonna say it looks outdated because everybody else said it, but why would you pick a fat penguin that was probably made in some shitty FLOSS alternative of 3DS Max as your fucking logo? Take a clue from other logos - your logo has to be simple, with relatively few features, and easy recognizable.
>>54475381
>minimal, I like it
>ridiculous, that gradient inside the X is disgusting
>childish, definitely needs an upgrade
But you know what? I always liked seeing the tux on the splash screen. Fuck it, penguins are awesome.
1: 9/10 - Pleasant to look at, simple design and colors.
2: 7/10 - Simple and nice to look at but it is just a circle with a really thin X in it.
3: 2/10 - 1 point for effort, 1 for being complex but also simple. At the end of the day it's a cartoon penguin that looks pretty bad and like it got found in an archive of mid-90's websites.
Although I don't use it my favourite logo is the modern FreeBSD one, the old/classic "beastie" one is almost as retard as Linux penguin but at least beastie was hand drawn.
>>54475696
No you didn't
>>54475659
>Typical god-tier GNU software is visually disturbing.
You say that but there's you can't prove it because there is no god-tier GNU software.
>>54475831
You have 0 knowledge on the subject, don't you? Do you even pipe?
>>54475381
>Windows
Weird combination of flat design and 3D perspective, but distinctive and minimal enough to be usable on any kind of media without much expense.
>OS X
A thin X in a circle. Looks like a manhole cover, ironically.
The landscape backdrop is not part of the logo itself, it's just one of the promos that were made for it. I would say this logo is not distinctive enough to be easily identifiable. If you place it in another context (say food product) nobody knows wtf does that logo stand for. An X in a circle? Does it mean it's not recyclable?
>Linux
Is that the logo of a toy store from the 90s? It's distinctive, but in a bad way. There's nothing special about the logo, it's basically just an infantile picture. How could you use that logo on business paper, for example? What's the link between a penguin and an operating system?
I don't like any of these logos, but probably the Windows logo is the most consistent with what it's supposed to represent (ie the shape of a window in a fake 3d perspective reminding you of what the product is actually called).
I would rate:
6/10
4.5/10
2/10
>>54475381
they all shit and they are in the same way shit as the systems they stand for whitch make them good again i guess?
Why is the mac logo a playstation controller button?
>>54475381
windows and os x look like they've been made in ms paint in 2 minutes (don't give me that minimalist bullshit, it's not creative at all) and linux looks like a logo for children's toys
>>54475597
>Pure autism. Is this the logo of an operating system or a game for kids? 0/10
You don't know what fun is..
First two are logos of operating systems. Third one is the mascot of a kernel.
Does Windows even have a logo or a mascot for its kernel? Check mate ms shills
>>54475796
That font is goat. They should make the logo flat though
5/10, super uninspired but it looks okay
8/10, decent, like the colours in the middle as well, gives it a very unique touch
0/10, looks really terrible colour-wise and looks like a cartoon.
>>54476207
>They should make the logo flat though
'no.'
This flat logo bullshit is just the current fad. You've simply been conditioned into thinking it looks good, just like people ten years ago were conditioned into thinking it looked lame.

GNU/Linux does not have or need a symbol. Though, the GNU website has a Gnu. The Linux kernel shouldn't have any symbol, but I suppose it makes those pretending a kernel is an operating system feel more dominant.

gaming on a device that can never be calle d "Laptop" / "Notebook" / "useful electronic computer" since it only has ONE FUCKING PORT and a unbelievable shitty keyboard!
I wonder who would buy shch an absolute troll product ... I know APPLE SHILLS and KEKS!
How could anyone in theri right mind use this?
Picture the following scenario:
> """ writer """ is going to write something for his blog
> buys new macbook just for da lulz
> wants to type
> meh keyboard feels like shit
> I can't say it s bad, because it's made by apple, the never do silly products!!!
or this:
> Grandma has a macbook (for whatever reason)
> Has a digital camera with usb cable + USB-C to normal USB adapter
> wants to transfer family pictures from camera to pc
> o shit battery low
> need to charge
> oh no transfer not complete
> abort abort
> battery drained
> FUUUUUUUCK!
EVEN NORMIES WOULD RUN INTO IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS WITH ONLY ONE PORT!
EVEN
NORMIES!
AND IF ANYONE SAY "But thats Inovation, you have to go with the time, things go wireless ..."
NO ... fucking NO!
Inovation ... it's a form of progress, of making things BETTER than they were before
> VHS, DVD, BlueRay (well BlueRay is proprietary shit and currently hard to crack)
^ This is an improvement
> AM Radio (small bandwith + crackles while listening)
> FM Radio (higher bandwith + fewer distortions)
> DAB[+] (digital radio, almost no distorions + additional content)
These are also improvments!
> Many ports for different uses (Charging, File Transfer, connecting a HID)
> ONE PORT
THIS IS NOT AN IMPROVEMENT!
I reallly hope apple would see what they've done, instead of trolling customers
WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NICE THINGS
>>54484687
(cont)
Ok,
the wireless argument is ok, because why not, it is easier
BUT WHAT ABOUT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLITY?
What if somenone just got a $1000 camer a without a wireless chip? Would they ditch their expensive product just because it's 1 year old and doesn't hve wireless?
How can the tech world accept this?
Why do people buy this?
In the past you could have argued "They buy apple products because they are of good quality", whichc up to some point was true.
But now ... there is no more quality just Tim Cook trolling all apple-fanatics who literally just buy the product because its made by apple!
You CAN'T name a single reason why someone should buy this overprces glass, aluminum, plastic, battery, pcb abomination from hell!

1. The windows logo is obviously created by committee, designed to convey something about the product and is capitalistic in nature
2. The OSX logo is designed by an artist and conveys the qualities that the artist deems important, and is narcissistic in nature
