These are only meant to help for cases where the full tux is too detailed to display, see examples in the linked README. But the shape also works well for single fill cases, like in the keychain example. I wouldn't want these to be used when the full tux could be displayed in all its glory instead.

~~One issue I have is I do not know how to license these properly, I wouldn't want them to show up in a trademarked logo or anything, but I would still want them to be freely usable as tux icons anywhere. What do you think?~~

I have chosen the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, thank you for helping me!

I think these either need the beak to be a bit irregularly shaped or needs a black line inside the beak to make it more clear this isn't just a big hole in the face but an actual bird beak.

But other than that its great! And that's of course just my personal opinion, you do you!

I personally think it looks fine, seems to look like a happy penguin to me

I need the colored one as a sticker to cover that weird square thingy on my super keys.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Honestly I hope any of these variations replace the old logo. Looks great OP! Thanks for sharing

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

hell no, full tux is the best, these are just simplified icons. but thanks for the compliment!!

Why is the white one happiest? Shit, am I a racist?

Very nice icon, would you consider contributing it to font-logos project (where a lot of FOSS projects logos are, including Tux) that is used on nerd-fonts so people can use it on their terminals? Nice to see SolveSpace being used for it. Edit: Fix typo.

@[email protected] I will wait for the license issue to resolve, seems better?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

@[email protected] Sure no problem, I'm still not 100% how to proceed, I hope in any case it get resolved before new NF release.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

aw I missed the release. maybe we can get it in for the fall release. ( personally I would prefer to get it in under the right license, than in a new one or in a grey-area). thanks for reaching out back then, it would be crazy to me if people had access to this icon in neovim etc.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I'm still figuring out some things and also have been busy, eventually should be done.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

no problem at all, I will try to get it in whenever it is solved, I’m in no hurry :) thx

This logo feels unbalanced, I don't have enough experience to say what is wrong, but it feels wrong.

Thanks for sharing. Maybe I will fork it and make it better.

Why is the white one wobbling?!?

[-] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago

What?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

I don't know why but like I swear it looks like the white one wobbles when on my phone screen.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago

No such effect for me. Some cheap Samsung AMOLED here.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
