DeMaio: Insights from the openSUSE Logo Contest

In response to the expressed unhappiness over the recent logo-selection
process in the openSUSE project (covered in this article), the project has announced
that there will be a new vote:

During the community meeting this week where the results were
discussed, participants expressed the view that members of the
openSUSE Project have an opportunity to participate in the
selection of our new logo, and that SUSE, which holds the trademark
to the openSUSE logo, be involved with the process for selecting a
branding decision with regard to the results. After all, this
decision impacts the collective identity.

To facilitate this, there is a plan to organize a vote between the
current logo and the proposed new design, allowing our community to
have a say in this important decision. Furthermore, members of the
project are collaborating with SUSE on the implications of the
branding initiatives and some have expressed the desire for SUSE’s
input to ensure there is an aligned vision for the future of
openSUSE.
