Why is the void logo so lame? I quite unironically belive the success of arch was in no small part due to its logo and general aesthetic (cyan theme on wiki and such, fonts they use, etc). It inspired people to make cool ricer desktops with screenfetch and since the logo looks so damn cool in ascii (and regularly too) it caught on and everyone wanted to try it.
If void is to become the next arch; as in, the go-to minimalist distro for ricers and nerds who don't want to use gentoo and which has a sort of connotation of being "cool", it NEEDS to have a better logo. Also i quite think the name "void" is much less appealing than "arch".
Arch in general evokes feelings of elegance, simplicity, a quality of "elite-ness", void evokes feelings of "just another random distro" and perhaps something gimmicky and lame. I really like void and wish for it to overtake arch, but this will NEVER happen without the community and meme quality that arch developed.

Mint has the most godawful logo of all the distros, yet it's super popular
Ryan Nguyen
I don't know, man, Antergos logo is pretty bad.
Jayden Russell
Green pokeball(duskball if i remember correctly)
Isaac James
popular but it doesn't feel "cool" like arch does
Jayden Reed
I don't really know why you think that but i find the Void logo and the website cooler than Arch, the ascii logo is not really good but who care, the arch logo is really ugly and i can't forget the fat arch user logo meme. Arch logo was cooler in the past, pic related. t. Void user and arch user in the past.
Andrew Davis
I actually like the void logo more than the arch logo, I think it is more appealing when used as application-menu-button. Also the animation on their website is cool when you move the mouse over the logo
Christian Sullivan
Yeah the only downside of the void logo is that it ironically not really minimal so the logo look bad in the terminal.
Aiden Johnson
going for this sort of look might go somewhere actually
Ethan Thomas
I can't unsee the fat guy in the Arch logo. My vote goes to Fedora for best logo with Debian and Ubuntu taking the next places.
Ryan Lopez
void is mexican, so why did you expect quality craftsmanship?
Easton Johnson
...
Eli Hernandez
wtf i hate void now??
Hunter Jones
hey you know what this is actually good, it means they're "in with it" and not some lame old people distro
Lincoln Adams
their logo isn't bad but their grub bg image is
Ian Anderson
At no point in time has any even remotely capable video output device looked this awful, please stop propagating this lazy aesthetic
Juan Richardson
yhey should use a lighter green font
James Jackson
you're 100% correct OP, another super elite level distro logo is debians, and then gentoo for its recognizability distro logos are super important for success
Logan Watson
>elite
Brayden Powell
nooooOOOOOOOoooo
William Rogers
love it, is simple, but striking. Void seems to overly complex by having their name in the center and having puke green as part of their palette of colors
Liam Scott
welp, time to distro hop again
Juan Kelly
Installed void yesterday >nothing works >have to fiddle hours with xorg settings and i3 >vim clipboard registers "* amd "+ doesn't work >needs sudo permission after every boot to mount second hard drive Who cares about the logo? This distro is fucking trash

epic opinion bro

Justin Price
void logo is as aesthetic if not more then the arch logo. beaten only by ubuntu and redhat
Carter Jenkins
I think it would look better without the "VOID" text across it
Landon Peterson
You're onto something OP. The first visual impression is one of the most important things. I'd say that VOID's logo is a bit better, but I'm just being a contrarian. Manjaro has currently the best linux logo
Alexander Harris
What the fuck did you guys do
>be me like 10 months ago >decide to install void >install with no problems >login with no problems >startx >everything works >rice XFCE with no problems >install xclip and all vim registers work >install zsh and rice that too I know it's "works on my machine", but I seriously don't understand what you guys did.

Reddit phone poster. copy pasta from the void subreddit you joined
Zachary Hill
They're idiots. No sugar coating. These guys really need to reinstall Windows, Ubuntu or Arch
Owen Thompson
Rude
Josiah Torres
what's your alls problem anyway
i got a new laptop for christmas and installed void on it in honestly 30 minutes. everything works even touchscreen and shit
Ayden Nelson
void eternally btfo
Adrian Rodriguez
There's literally no point to use anything other than fedora on your desktop.

Matthew Ramirez
It doesn't even look good, so don't use that as an excuse. I know, that's why I told him to fuck off.
Ethan Gutierrez
Thats the price that comes with avoiding systemd. Void is amazing on single board computers but I don’t think it’s all that amazing as a full fledge desktop OS.
Jason Moore
systemd has nothing to do with the stuff he listed
Jackson Gomez
>implying Do you think systemd just sits on the hard drive solely to piss off luddites?
Landon Lewis
maybe
Kayden Nelson
art is subjective you dumb faggot, don't try to shove your ideals down other people's throats
Lucas Allen
No but the only thing it might handle from that list would be mounting drives, but I don't think most distros default to that.
Justin Fisher
I unironically never tried Mint for this exact reason
John Smith
>microsoft clipart vs fat man silhouette
I agree OP, they're both shit. This is a real logo.
Is CloverOS as good as you guys tout it to be? I'm on ArtiX and thinking about on a spare USB and spare harddrive as well.
Jonathan Allen
It's just Gentoo and yes Gentoo lives up to the hype
Christopher Reed
I unironically think the word unironically is overused unironically
Carson Gutierrez
Not using Mac.
Justin Wright
The name is good. Logo is bad.
Leo Cruz
CUTE. Someone draw an anime girl with the Debian logo on her hair!
Colton Morgan
Void will be the best Linux distro 2018
Charles Morgan
Void is already epic. Used xfce for reasons. I don't need to deal with the level of detail in Gentoo, done it before, whatever.
Levi Campbell
>the success of arch If you mean the utter retardation of average users and intolerable, unjustified elitism, sure. Seriously, Arch Linux is a cesspool of 12 year old kids who think they're 1337 and hardened linux veterans for pasting instructions into a cli interface, with no idea of what they actually do. This could very easily happen to Void, so I just hope that it remains "unpopular" to prevent swarms of "how do i switch my de? lol n00b thx." and "wow void is so superior to other distros because no GUI!!!!!" posts from clogging up their IRC and forums. At least now the average Void user can bugfix without needing to be spoonfed wiki pages, and there is some actual nice discussion.
Camden Allen
but shouldn't you configure gentoo yourself? I've heard clover has special cflags, what are they other than just architecture?
Josiah Martin
all these logos look like shit
Dylan Hernandez
Art's also not an excuse to push garbage in front of my eyes

is a default brush with some settings changed copyrightable by adobe?
Liam Thompson
The best GNU/Linux distro logos are both based on Arch.
William Rodriguez
I like it better than the arch logo.
Noah James
>this fucking thread
James Cooper
I like nix's logo too. Wasted time learning about, auto installed a thousand packages on initial install, went back to void, have a minimal os without systemd
