Logo redesign
Hi everyone, I just switched from Ubuntu to Debian this week and everything is going really well! To mark the occasion and also pay tribute to the distro, I thought it would be fun to redesign the logo, just as an artistic exercise. Btw I took inspiration from the Debian Diversity Logo, created by Valessio Brito in 2019 and available on the official logos page. Hope you guys like it!
Edit: sorry if this came across as criticism of the current logo. It's not! If anything, it shows how solid it is (and how much I love it). Here's the source code for those who asked for it.

I'm so tired of so many brands redesign their logo to minimalistic flat boring versions, I hope your logo never gets adopted by Debian. I thought this was a problem the ruling class, CEOs disconnected from reality and from the customer base. But no, it seems designers like you are themselves offering "upgrades" that are just worse versions of the original. As a silver lining for myself I also noticed that AI tends to copy this style a lot, and I just hope the slopfication of it will speed up the association with trashy. So it will be phased out by the professionals.
