To the additional submissions: sorry if I dredged up this thread after the final image was decided on. As the poll deadline had passed I wasn't able to click vote button: I could only post my support for rasta's image in words.

This image needs to be tilted as mentioned by a few others (which to me is part of what makes it a puppy instead of a dog; don't all puppies look at you with that silly tilt of the head? :) ).

Is the "TINYSYSTEM" slogan standard? Perhaps the word "linux" could be moved to where TINYSYSTEM is shown so it works for English users (linux puppy vs. puppy linux). I like the ratio of text sizing in rasta's original. Puppy rocks... linux is a footnote. :P

In hindsight I'd agree on not requiring the mirror-effect - but I know I'll use it as a personal preference; hopefully that's acceptable. :)

A quick sample (sorry I'm not a designer) of a subtle white 'outer glow' could be added to the edges of the image so it is also visible on a dark/black backgrounds. Needs to be tilted too, but you get the idea.

very nice graphic !!!!

here is just another off the wall from me:

eve ate the apple and now see where we are.

i think the logo says that puppy is sweet looking but harder than nails once you get to know him.

bluto is his name

I know my post # reflect that I'm new to posting here but I've been reading for a long time. I've been researching Linux for months. A lot of the other distros have simple avatars that are unmistakable when you see them. They can be doctored up in many ways. I'm thinking about Debian, Ubuntu, Suse, KDE. All of them are drawable, but none of them say what they are. I downloaded a bunch of backgrounds for my desktop. I got a lot of variants of the paw. That's what it is to me. The paw will represent puppy for me. I would buy things if they had the paw on them. I won't buy anything if there is a cute little puppy face or a chihuahua on them. And I would love to buy some things in support of the puppy product and distro. If I wound up with something with a cute puppy face on it, I would have to cover it up. It's just not serious to me. This puppy thing doesn't reflect what this distro is to me. This is seriously a fantastic distro to me. Leagues better than so many others, and I would like for people to take it seriously. The puppy face doesn't represent for me. The awesome penguin is cool. They can make the penguin look somewhat rebelious. That does it for me. My vote is for a paw. But whatever the choice, I can always change the look and cover up something that I don't care for.

I know what you mean. Now, if we were using something like this in place of the "cute puppy face", it would be another story:

Unfortunately, that image doesn't convey the essence of Puppy very well. The paw does.

Oh, and I know KDE isn't a distro, I just threw that in there 'cause it's got that cool simple spoke thingy.
Oh and no offense to chihuahuas. Or any other dog for that matter.

Hello: had created a series of icons
My first intention was to make a system of icons that were level KDE
With the idea of making a puppy linux more friendly - (jaja ubuntu but not as something well)
Not even because I can use either

But the idea was falling back and I have not found help
Since I am a designer ... Not informatico
= These facts before you started this post
Shipping them are working on as icons think ..
= I have more

Sorry for the Translation

Rastapax! I thought you'd disappeared.

I was wondering if you could provide a master copy of your logo -- maybe a large bitmap or tiff or something. What would be ideal is a large PNG with a full transparent background so that anyone can put any background behind it.

Thanks :)

It would be even better to get it in SVG format.

Here's a dark menu button I made for my future IceWm manager.
Someone mentioned they like dark over light. Easier on the eyes I guess.:)
Don't hold me to having this one as the default. Its just a trial.

rastapax I was just wondering which graphic applications are you using to construct these Icons? I usually use PhtoShop CS3 for my designs. Photoshop doesn't do well with circles. But overall I really like the layering and layer style tools.
