@cassidy My issue with this is that by "professionalizing" it like this, you've essentially gutted any visibility of the community that the project actually *is*.

Admittedly, I'm not a real GNOME person even though I've contributed a little bit to GNOME, but I used to be a heavy GNOME user. In general, I think giving up the "personality" of projects and communities leads to strictly worse products and services.

@Conan_Kudo did you read the blog post?

@cassidy Yes, I did. I'm specifically responding that it's a bad idea to eliminate this from user-facing aspects of the project, product, and services.

(As an aside, I definitely do not appreciate the assumption that I did not read the blog post before commenting. You know me better than that.)

@Conan_Kudo the foot is quirky—and actively hard to work with. Rather than use a logo at all, we've repeatedly seen it just completely dropped from spaces _anyway_.

Instead, I'm proposing we come up with something better, even if whimsical and quirky, but that actually works in the contexts we need to use it.

I don’t think any of the modern GNOME design work has been “giving up the ‘personality’ of projects and communities.” In fact, quite the opposite as I feel like GNOME’s is strongest now.
