WOW
Those are some NICE cd covers :!:
( now I kinda feel bad, my first Knoppix just had Knoppix 3.2 scribbled on the cd itself. ( in fact, the same is true for my copies of 3.3 and 3.4, replacing the respective version numbers ) )
Some tiny details, reading the text on the covers: I think the knx-hdinstall is not available in v3.4, but don't quote me, or change the cover on my "weak" knowledge of this fact...
Also, what FONT was used for the KNOPPIX LIVE DISTRO - that is a really cool looking font...
NOW... If someone can make TUX into a "flying window" kind of LOGO, and start posting it on anything that runs on Linux, I think it might get to be a "marketable" competition [giggle]
Ms. Cuddles
Im puzzled in your last comment, please explain more.
the font is comaro.
If you would like this font, please let me know at the abocve address.
I an also looking for more high renders of anime pictues, so if anyone can find some that would be cool...
Assume the issue is this:Quote:

( again, don't quote me on this change, I am not possitive about it )Quote:

My mistake, sorry...
To explain...
Everything that runs in "Windows" has that logo, it looks like a rectangle "window", with four color panes, and then a swoosh of colors after it, it looks like it is "flying" through the air.
The "logo" in Windows "circles" has come to be called the "Flying Windows" logo. What I was suggesting is that "Linux" plays off of the "Windows" logo, by replacing the "window" with a picture of TUX, the "Linux" penguin, and then add the "swoosh" of colors after it... Thus making a colorful, pun, or joke, of the Windows Logo with a penguin, for Linux...
It was a joke, but everyone knows the Windows Logo, so that this way, Linux might be taken seriously in the "Windows" World.
Ms. Cuddles
Im so gonna get flamed for saying this.
BUT ITS THE PENGUINS FAULT.
Thats where its all at.
If there was no penguin I think the wohle linux thing might get a but more respect..
NO OFFENCE PLEASE DO KICH THE SH!T OUT OF ME....
Plus there are so many version of *nix out there that cannot be one main logo.
Take redhat and debian, they have great logos.
Im gonna try and make one I think with a PROPPER SYMBOL.
Like the KDE logo, :wink: :roll:
Awwwwwww, the poor penguin :(
Sorry Ronin, no flame, I wouldn't do that, but, ever since I got into Linux, through the use of Knoppix, I have come to admire the penguin...
I've got tons of penguin stuff now, stuffies, keychains, wall paper, cursors, even AMOR with the penguins running around my desktop.
IMHO, I thought TUX was a better logo, even a mascott, than you could have with Windows - a stalle inanimate window, as a logo, yuck... at least a penguin has character, an attituide, something that could be animated.
But, to play both sides, I agree with you though, way too many logo's... KDE is nice, Debian is interesting, haven't seen any other ones though, I don't go around looking at much logo's. But, I always thought of the "penguin" as a mascott, something that every "Linux" user could affiliate with. You know, the same as the "fish symbols" that used to signify someone who follows Jesus, kinda thing. You could have a TUX bumper-sticker, and someone could easily see, you were a Linux person. I know if someone ever saw my car, they would either think I've gone nuts for penguins, or that, if they knew Linux, I might be a person who runs or uses Linux. ( my bet would be they would think I was a nutty woman )
To be completely honest though, you also "promoted" another logo, even in your CD Covers... The whole eye image, from what I have come to know, has become synonomous with Knoppix, maybe even to the point of it being called a "Logo" for it. But, none of this was intended to be a flame, more along the lines of a friendly discussion on the subject :D
Live long, and prosper,
Ms. Cuddles
Well im sure you will be aware that I riped the idea from the origional 3.2 wallpaper (Me thinks it was t hat version) with the eye in the background.
So I followed that Idea.
True on the Penguin, EVERYONE know what that penguin symbols'izes, but what do they use.
So many ppl said do you know LINUX?
YES! I reply, which one? uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, becomes the relpy.
So yes its a mascot but I think there should be a LOGO for knoppix.
SPOCK
logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. - WAS HE TALKING ABOUT WINDOWS?
In other words, dont be logical, DONT USE WINDOWS, USE LINUX, BUILD YOUR OWN O/S the way you want it!
UPDATE.
New LOGO for 3.5 for when it comes out. (But I can change it to 3.4 if ppl need to) :P

UM Images reference ain working here. I will add it to main post...
[Edit] Missed the SPACES LOL
Just thought id pop my head round the dorr to A)Bump this topic and B) see if anyone would like a 3.6 Version, I can just change the TXT for you if you prefur either of the covers.
I am going to attempt a new cover with no "CopyRighted" images soon :D
but for now,,,,,, CHEERS!

p.s
Can I have this stickyed?
I don't like the logos.
What's their message?
A young woman with a blue eye -- there are a lot of woman with blue eyes around, and most of the guys who made them don't needed a knoppix-cd, to get it done.
Of course you could see it as a kind of makeup too.

The penguin is avoiding respect for linux?
Well - I guess we needn't discuss about respect when talking about oracle.
The oracle-magacine, introducing oracle on linux, had a big tux-face on the cover.
If oracle don't have problems with a penguin, why should I have?
Do you respect apples?
Sun has a funny figure for java too - lost it's name.
I've been struggling to find some resource for CD covers and labels for my linux discs. I'm a bit bored, and thought i could kill some time by printing some, or even making my own.
But damn if there isn't a lack of resources for this. I realize it's probably not the most important thing to most linux users to have a nice cd label, But i think it's a bit strange there aren't more resources for it.
I may just have to write up a little site to host some.
Their message?
Giving Technology Life..
Knoppix brings the best out of a pc unlike windows, the lady face is showing "Life" and the design work around her is to show the technology.
But thats obviously not that clear is it.
Another data file link without any infomation on file size ...
Who cares ....
jm
well thankyou for that great, info.
If you dont care why post?
Also I have no comment from you regarding the logos.
Did you like them or not?
Tell me why.
Its been a while since I responded in this thread, and, since this IS the Lounge, hence, Open Discussion, here goes...
I think Knoppix has come to signify, almost [sic] apitify, the word technology. It was / is, the first Linux Distro to get not only a Live CD operating system, but, also, to include auto-detection and configuration of hardware ( on-the-fly ) -=- then, to add insult, or salt, to an injury, it can be hard drive installed...
I think, the "image" that graced the background, back in Knoppix v3.2, was the significance of this technology, being "made into reality". The image screamed "look at me!" and "look how far technology has come!". How many people, like myself, stared at the background image for a while, marvelling at every pixel, at every nuance of "digital image" meets "photo 'live' image" ? ( almost 'expecting' the image to move )
The image may have given way to, lets say, less than its first look, impressions, or impact. But, that doesnt change the fact of the impact "it DID have"...
I am quite sure, that if you had a PC with "Windows XP" desktop, and another PC with "Knoppix v3.2" and that background, as a desktop, running at a "convention" -=- more people will be looking at the "knoppix" PC. I would liken this reaction to when the Mac PLUS, or now as it is called, the "Classic", was placed next to a PC, at the time they were released, more people stood in front of the MAC. The "desktop" is the "window to the 'digital computer'", the more it looks pleasing to the eye, the more it is going to be noticed. Has anyone ever noticed that a "intriguing" screensaver, seems to 'draw' people over to look at it? This is probably the same reasoning why Artifical Intelegence is getting so much "air play", people want to not only "see" there computer do something, but, some want it to "do" something.
I think, for me, the most "welcoming", "draw you in", feeling I got, was booting Knoppix v3.2, with that background, in KDE... Watching my system boot; going from a BIOS, to the slew of text flying by, in the boot screen, seeing the colorful "Welcome to Knoppix", and then watching it go up off the screen... And then... And then, having the background, almost yell at me, saying, "you have arrived", "you have arrived at an OS that is something MORE than Windows!"... And, to add audible sensorary to this, to have a vioce say "system initiated"... WOW. And what was the real kicker, in all of this, booting from a CD! To imagine that all of this is possible WITHOUT having to go through a install first, without having to spend two days running around looking for device drivers, and installing them, as well, just to get a working system... The background wasnt the only thing that had my eyes opening, the OS had me wondering, "why cant 'Windows' do this?" -=- I realized, pretty quickly, that I was 'playing on the wrong team', and spent a good portion of time, trying to come 'up to speed' with Linux.
I could say it was a 'learning thing', or, 'the background image', that made me think of switching "sides", but, I think it was everything. The newness, the learning, the intriguing image, how Knoppix seemed to know my system, almost intimately, and in a way that Windows just couldnt, how, with that Live CD, I had become the "master" of my own computer, again. I am still, fascinated, with looking at the "boot process" of my hard drive install, and seeing all that is started in the output of dmesg
Linux has openned my eyes, gained my trust, and floored me, with what 'it can do', but, in the same way, it has allowed me to 'know' what my system is all about, what it runs, how it runs it, and, being able to 'delve' into the source that it was created from. Windows always felt like a "closed loop", you bought 'stuff' for it, installed it, ran it, thats it, nothing more. Kind of like feeding a baby, it just ate, screamed, pooped, and slept. Linux, on the other hand, felt like something more, something that had "evolved" to something more, like an adult. It was kind of like "Windows", except it was a "viable, living, thing", it held secrets, you could have "meaningful" discussions with it, it responded, and not like the "Windows" responses, like goo goo gaa gaa, but, with intelectual feedback, and even some "comical" error messages that a programmer had made up. It was entertaining, educational, learning, and growing, and intriguing... I almost expect my system to respond someday with: "I'm sorry Dave, but I can't do that." ( from HAL in 2001, movie ) And the big thing is, that my system would be completely sincere in this response, even though the name wouldnt be mine.
I, honestly, dont see this kind of "technology" coming from a Windows OS, but, rather, from a Linux one, instead. To re-use my previous analogy, I would be more impressed if Windows just "scooted across the floor two inches", but, Linux, I have come to expect more, more progress, more advancement, more technological improvements, and I dont think I am wrong in my assumptions.
Linux, has opened my eyes. When I booted Knoppix, for the first time, I would have "expected", and almost in amazement, if it had a DOS screen for its desktop. My thinking was, it couldnt be anywhere near what "Windows" has come to be. And, to see a desktop, rich in what "Windows" has nearly made as its own, to be seen, in Linux... Nothing could have prepared me, nor placed in my thinking, 'this is what Linux is?' -=- words could not have described the feelings at that moment. I think the image was the icing on the cake, that, and remembering the next time I boot the CD, be sure to include the lang=en !
My life has changed, drastically, since the day I booted the Knoppix v3.2 CD. It has changed my world, my sense of 'what an OS should be', and what I will install on ANY of my computers, from that point, to the end of my existance. I have come to expect more from my OS, my system, my hardware, and what is included with my OS. What is available for my OS, of choice, and the ability to get, install, and use it. If I was going to "point a finger" at what may have caused all of this, it could easily be, the moment I saw the "digital eye" in the background image. Because it openned my eyes, to what I am now.
That was a nice run down there cuddles, but I hate to mention this, but how does that fit into my covers?
I do love your 'natters' as they inspire me alot in my drawings logo's sig's avatars etc.etc....
But yes knoppix out the box *just had an idea :D is a very good o/s
Im not one for talking more drawing so I will go away with my idea and have some sweets :D cuz im only like 23 :wink:
Even though, as many may have guessed, I can be long-winded, and quite "verbose" and bulky in my responses, the "summary" of the response could be stated as: I like them... I had stated that in my original response, and though I didnt come right out and state that in the last response, I thought it would have been more "implied", as the "flow" of the response was in agreeance of the "image" in the first place.
I think you do excellent image work, and the format / flow of your covers are not "cluttered" or "confusing" ( as it would be said in "artistic" circles )
If I had a bunch of CD's on a table, yours would be 'instantly' recognizable as a "Knoppix" CD
Is this more, what you were expecting?
sorry cuddles i am not feeling very great atm, so i am a little snappy.
sorry..
