Re: RFC: plasma logo as start menu icon and ksplash logo

As the one responsible for the logo work (since Uri who made that and other bits is in the VDG) I should probably shime in here. The three dots and the arrow is simply because of the connections to the K logo. The reasoning for it is to make it flexible (do note that we came in blind into

Re: RFC: plasma logo as start menu icon and ksplash logo

it's funny that you discuss about branding and nobody of the plasma dev's know HIS logo. so the discussion should not be which logo and why nobody knows the plasma brand. the question should be we need a brand and therefore we need logos for defined sizes, banners, community stuff (t-shirt,...)
