The list of GNU package logos is maintained separately, in the “GNU
womb” project at <https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/womb>.  So in
general such reports should go to bug-womb <at> gnu.org.

However, I would argue that the original Guix logotype is mostly
superseded by the other one.  I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s
confusion to have two logos, and that the GuixSD one is cute anyway.
:-)

WDYT?

Thanks!

As long as Guix and GuixSD are not synonymous, I would argue that mixing
the two logos increases confusion, whether it looks pretty or not.
Especially since the logos include their name.

If the choice of using GuixSD logo when designing Guix is about
esthetics, maybe we could use the same symbol for both logos.  Maybe
with a slightly different color that would help distinguish them?

What do people think?

Please understand that this is just my own opinion.

I think branding matters.  And I think using one icon for the "Guix" and
"GuixSD" logos is better branding than two very different-looking icons.
Having two icons does not make the difference clearer.  If anything, I
feel that it is MORE confusing because it fails to emphasize the common
component: Guix.

Consider Nix.  They use only one icon [1] on the websites for Nix [2]
and NixOS [3].  When you see it, you know the brand is Nix.  Nix and
NixOS are closely related to one another, so it's natural to share the
icon.  What's the difference?  A logo won't tell you; you need to read
the manual to learn that.  But you know it's Nix, regardless of how it's
being used.

I think GNU Guix should use one logo to strengthen its branding.  The
golden GNU [4] is better than the other one [5], so that's what I'd use.

Since the words "Guix" and "GuixSD" are already different, I don't think
they need to come in a different color.  I do like the off-color "SD" in
the "GuixSD" logo, though, since it emphasizes that it's still Guix.

I would not say that having different icons is confusing, however I
agree that having one icon can help to visually see how they relate to
each other.

That would definetely match what the Nix project is doing.  While IMO
Nix is not necessarily a model to follow, this would definitely be
better than what is currently done for Guix/GuixSD "branding".

Right.  I thought that having “SD” in light gray kind of makes the logo
usable for both Guix{,SD}.

(And I agree with the branding argument.)

I’d like to know what Felipe thinks of this since he’s the expert.  :-)

Cheers,
Ludo’.

Well, I didn't know it was decided to use GuixSD icon for Guix as well. 
I agree with Mathieu and Chris Marusich: use the same icon is fine, but 
not the same text. For example:

~v~ Guix
~v~ GuixSD

If this is OK, then I think we should:

- Add an updated Guix logo to the artwork repo.
- Send a copy to GNU womb for update.
- Update https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/download/
- Update https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/graphics/
- Update https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/help/

I can do the above, so yes? :)

Ok, I made the changes in the artwork repository, which will be visible 
for users in the next deployment of the website.

Next, I'll contact GNU womb to update the logo over there.

These tasks are done, and changes are online now.

The updated Guix logo in the package list should be visible once GNU 
womb links to the new image 
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-womb/2016-12/msg00001.html).

Looks great!  Does the guix-artwork repository contain the "horizontal"
version that is currently published on the website?  I couldn't find it.

I've also noticed that the Wikipedia article is still using the other
logo.  I attempted to update it, but because I don't have an account, I
wasn't able to replace the SVG file with the new one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guix

I don't suppose someone on this thread can fix the Wikipedia article?
If not, I'll try again once the 10-day "autoconfirm" period of
restricted access for new Wikipedia accounts passes.

FWIW, there also appears to be a copy of the logo in Wikimedia commons:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Guix-logo.svg

I tried to update this one, too, but the Wikimedia uploader rejected the
SVG files as "corrupt".

Yes, the SVG file for each logo has variants (horizontal, light, dark, 
etc.). In Inkscape, you can select a variant and export it.

I have an account and could update Guix article, but I won't have time 
until next Thursday (maybe).

The current SVGs from the artwork repository were rejected as corrupt?

Guix,

[First debbugs post, let's hope this works.]

I've updated the Guix Wikipedia page to use the new ‘unified’ logo.

Since Wikimedia rejects our SVG, I had to resort to copy-pasting the
original image in Inkscape and saving it as a new file.

It wasn't pretty, but the new logo sure is.

Kind regards,

T G-R
