Obviously, the Voting for the Tumbleweed logo has resulted in a tie, and we haven't heard how that is going to be resolved.

Please keep in mind, that this is just an advisory, and not a binding vote, for any of the logos.

Oh man, this is a bit awkward all around.

Don't really like any of the TW winners personally and two of the suggestions plus the kalpa winner are all ones that were part of a broader theme that didn't get picked up by the other logos. The goal was to create something that is consistent across the board, but he results kinda point in a different direction.

I do like the Slowroll winner and the leap winner is a safe choice, too if course.

I also like LCP winner for the main logo and am generally in favour of a new logo. But all of the three other too contenders are basically just retreads of the OG logo, which can probably be read as no real desire by the broader community for a change.

Well, I can say, with all certainty, that while I appreciate the submissions, and the community making themselves heard, that isn't the new Kalpa logo.

This is how you troll a distro. Pretend to be a supporter while voting for the worst possible option. Well done.

no offense and everything, but please, for the love of god, just keep the openSUSE logo as it is.

Well, there's already a discussion on the mailing lists, and while I can't speak for the project, (nor am I an attorney, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night), the "Main" openSUSE Project logo is a registered trademark of SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, so it's highly unlikely that it's going to change.
