The current geeko brings legal problems. There are only a few differences to the Suse logo. Which no one recognises.
There will be no choice to keep the old one.
Really? This would be quite important information which was not given in the news post.
I also think it’s false
The current logo is a formally registered trademark
Changing it will either require SUSE to pony up a rather large financial and red tape bill getting that changed
Or, if we’re just abandoning the idea of openSUSE having a defensible trademark then there’s a huge change in the constitutional framework of the Project that hasn’t been communicated.
Policies like our Trademark Guidelines will be effectively pointless and unenforceable if the logo isn’t a registered trademark.
I imagine SUSE would require openSUSE to have a registered trademark as it’s logo given the project has the term SUSE in its name..
Yeah, I thought I communicated it well when submitting the logos that I am also submitting the current logos together with my own designs. The vote was meant to inform what kind of logo we are going to choose, but this together with the fact that the comparison images provided for "consistency" aren't even official designs, but designs from one of the submissions, I don't think that this vote will be representative of the intent of the people that voted.
