UPDATE: We now have a forum

https://forum.aux.computer/

I like #Nix, I do not like what has happened to it. #NixOS is an incredible technology and it deserves better. Nobody else has started the process so I guess I have to be the one to do it. We are forking. I would rather try and fail alongside all the people who love Nix but were pushed away from the project than give up.

@trespaul these are pretty cool! Don't worry about sticking with the purple that's used on the site, branding can change :)

Seriously though these are awesome!

@trespaul @jakehamilton Wow, that’s pretty cool! I like the 3D one.

@deivpaukst @jakehamilton thank you! although, to clarify, the top part of the image was supposed to indicate the "influences" on the final design, which is at the bottom. The influences or meanings are 1. the lambda symbol, 2. the "splitting off" movement, and 3. the A form. But I'm glad you like it, maybe I can work that idea into another design idea...

@trespaul @jakehamilton I really like the bottom ones! I think the separation of pieces has positive effect on my opinion.

Can different colors represent different parts of the ecosystem? Or would it hurt recognizability?

Also, on the previous picture: shifting the lambda so that the right side of the triangle is visible, I feel, makes it better. Is it due to lambda being more visible since its edges border a uniform color (black)?

@imikoy @jakehamilton I'm glad you like it! I felt that having the lambda just be plainly inside the triangle was a bit too obvious and on the nose, so i removed the right side so that it's more minimal and the whitespace plays a role

@imikoy @jakehamilton The different colours for different parts of the ecosystem is a great idea! and then the plain black one could maybe represent the entire project

@trespaul @jakehamilton Dark mode would also need to be considered, I think
Show threadJake HamiltonApr 30, 2024
@imikoy @trespaul I think it swaps very cleanly to a dark mode by replacing the black with a white.
