Hi all, There are two main reasons why I'm against this (regardless of what ends up being plasma logo, and regardless of whether it will be pretty or not - the KDE logo would not win any beauty pageants :) ):
- (as previously mentioned) the gear-logo is a recognizable brand (easy to spot on on TV or elsewhere) - the menu is entrance to the KDE world (even if there are a lot of non-kde apps in it) - most Plasma users use other KDE applications as well. Changing this logo might feel like we want to separate ourselves from those applications and their developers. I would rather like to see something that joins the community together than splitting it apart. I honestly do not see this as a part of KDE-is-not-the-desktop rebranding effort. Microsoft is not Windows (they share the logo) and Apple is not OSX shell (they also show the logo as the 'menu' button), MATE project is not only the desktop (and they use the project logo as the 'menu' button). MATE is insteresting in the way that they include the file manager, archiver, image viewer, document viewer etc (what is traditionally considered a DE). If we had a unified logo for Plasma and Dolphin, Okular, etc. this would be much more fitting.
