A contest for new logos
for the openSUSE project and for
four separate distributions of it,
Tumbleweed, Leap, Slowroll, and
Kalpa, has turned into a
bit of an uproar in that community. A vote
has been held on the candidates and winners have been announced, but
some are questioning why there is a need to change the existing logo (the
“Geeko”
chameleon) at all. In addition, there are questions about whether the
new logo will be trademarked (as previous ones have been)—and how many
years that will take.
