The name "MEPIS" was inspired by Warren Woodford hearing someone mispronounce "Memphis", and since that's also an Egyptian city, Warren used the Giza pyramids as a MEPIS logo. Then that's the "X" from AntiX added.

thanks for the history lesson OWO! Makes sense now and quite clever. I always thought the Mepis logo was some kind of keyhole or something. So now the obvious; the Mepis logo has 2 pyramids with an O overlay. How about we wrap this puppy up with a clue as to what the 'O' is for

I've always thought it was the Moon or the Earth. Not sure I've ever seen an explanation.

Way way back, the mepis logo had a flat moon in the background behind the pyramids, removing the centre of the flat moon gave it a more 3d effect.

And the circle (pun intended) is finally complete
Thanks all - mike

@Starw0lf,
On a black background,
the mx1Xs.png
needs the pyramid and X to be pure white.
At this size, perhaps better without the reflected edge at the top,
making the icon as large as possible.
regards,
Richard.

@Starw0lf,
I appreciate your efforts at making a more visible, MX icon on a dark background.
Here's a comparison of various icons, including some you prepared.
They are on a horizontal Xfce panel of 33 pixels, to appear similar to the icon on top of my vertical Deskbaron the left:

The legend is for the icons on the separate panel.
1: mxfcelogo.png // same as menu icon on top of the vertical Deskbar on the left
2: MX-14-Mepis.jpg
3: your mx-kde.png
4: your mx-kde512nw.png // changed name to keep all the mx* together
5: your mx-kde512nw.svg
6: Crunch-bang-thumb.png // always legible
7: your mx1Xs.png
8: mepis.jpeg // not sure if it is the origial, but similar.
saludos,
Richard.
