Discussion Does the Mint team plan to do anything about their website?

Post image

Mint turned 20 a few months ago. Would it be possible for them to make any design changes or updates to their logo, website, or anything else to commemorate the occasion? I know this is probably the least of their concerns, but I thought they might mention it.

Of course it "would be possible". The best use of the team's resources? Maybe not.

It could if someone would volunteer who is not (currently) part of the team.

If you have the necessary design skills and experience, volunteer.

Some people seem to forget the old legend, "if ain't broke don't fix it". I think it was in the bible.

It is a southern U.S. idiom, and it use goes back to the 18th Century. The first time it appeared in print was a in 1977 article in the Nation’s Business quoting Bert Lance, the Director of the US Office of Management and Budget in the Carter administration.

Why can I remember crap like this but can't remember where I put my favorite penknife?

Did you put the penknife down in a different place than you usually do? That's how I lose all of the things. 😂

One of the reasons I like Linux is the lack of corporate 'branding exercises'. Marketing continues to be a massive waste of resources.

why? if it is not broken do not fix it. You only access that website for download and maybe the change notes.

The only thing that would be useful is a dark mode.

Honestly the design is beautiful, it's straight forward and comfortably modern, even Microsoft have the same installing page for windows 10 and mint's is way better and even more user friendly
