Yin and yang are more about opposites (dualism) than anything judgmental (good and evil), or that is my understanding.  Interesting note: the Wikipedia page doesn't have the word "evil" anywhere on it, though there is a brief mention of "good and bad" basically stating that's not what yin and yang are.

Anyway, I think there could be some value in this (yin/yang) comparison, but there may also be some drawbacks to consider while moving forward.  One drawback is that a "random american" (or even other people, assuming there is anywhere outside America), might have the same understanding, and labeling either distribution evil/bad would at least be not-good for its reputation.  Even if that is avoided, are SLE and Leap opposites?  One feeds into the other, and in the same way I believe Tumbleweed feeds into Leap, so I have typically appreciated (as somebody who has been around SUSE for a while, so not a newbie in that regard) more of a continuum of Tumbleweed -> Leap -> SLE, which can celebrate the fun/excitement/newness of Tumbleweed, the practicality of Leap, and the stability of SLE without passing much other judgment.

Just some thoughts,

My understanding of yin and yang as a random American: one means good and the other evil. Since they're being applied to SLE and openSUSE, aren't we effectively labeling one of the two evil? For numerous reasons, I would like to avoid risking such an interpretation of openSUSE's marketing content.

Otherwise, I like the concept.

Subject: Leap's yin to SLE's yang
 
Hi again.
A good symbol to go along with the release of openSUSE Leap 15.3 I
believe is the yin and yang.  I propose that artwork to market this
release show the symbiotic relationship of Leap and SLE with a yin yang
design. The imagery should help with the marketing. I put the topic in
the marketing work group notes - https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fetherpad.opensuse.org%2Fp%2F153wg&amp;data=04%7C01%7C%7C9c9c8a3b440a47500e5108d8d8b176b2%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637497603994220344%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=B0s9z0%2FeyWmTI41qmTahggeI7fTZ5vlQGo5Sw%2FKGuJ8%3D&amp;reserved=0.
If you have any designs you want to share or other ideas on this topic,
I'd love to read it.
