This will likely be a long process, but the plan would be to trademark a new design. As a key point to all of this, which was written in every article: "The person doing the branding changes and maintenance for the distributions has a say in any changes. The ultimate brand decision will rest with members of the project doing the implementation, but the results from this logo competition will provide an expressed opinion of the brand identity project wide."
"an expressed opinion" which provided no opportunity to vote for the current existing logo, despite repeated concerns being raised about that here, on Reddit, and across other social media platforms. Why is the project being railroaded into a "long process"? Why are surveys being created to pressure the folk "doing branding and maintenance" when their wish may be to not change anything? Aren't we a project that is meant to support and encourage those implementing things in the project? Jacob (who I consider to be our main branding contributor by far) has expressed that they feel the vote will not be representative because it lacks the original logos, which he considers submitted alongside his new designs. And yet despite this we still seem to be collectively pushed forward with this effort without any meaningful consideration of the feedback being given from all these directions. I really think those pushing this logo-change agenda need to take a step back and pause and process the feedback given to date.
