No worries, nobody (relevant) gets offended so easily, but people have different opinions.

Since you have graphic design experience, why not contribute some wallpaper/icon artwork for the distro?

Post your contributions here, for the benefit and enjoyment of other users:
viewforum.php?f=116

We often use at least some of users' submitted wallpapers in the next MX release.

Sometimes, users' icon designs might also make it into the MX repos or even the next release.

I don't think anybody was offended by your sharing your opinion, but you have to expect some push back with some other opinions. Some of us think the logo is fine, some don't.

It's a difficult discussion, but just a little bit,
Jackseller, I kind of understand what you mean.
It's true that the current MX logo is a little bit unmodern from a design standpoint.

However, it is necessary to cherish the concept of the fusion of Mepis and antiX,
and since the existing logo is loved by everyone,
it would be desirable to keep it as a concept.

Personally, I am concerned that the circular pattern that Mepis had is spoiled.
That circle has a religious feel to it and I personally like it.

I made a design prototype from the viewpoint of "How would I design if I was an old member?"
Inspired by MX's splash screen, the design is "looking up at the mountain of religion from the horizon".

thanks,everyone.

@ceeslans
Oh, it looks like this. It's natural.
And the cursive letters match this logo very well.
Fashionable.

By the way, this logo is just a (just) idea. I don't think it will be adopted
because the conventional logo is great. Just in case.
(But if everyone wants it, yes.)

I have high resolution version of 6000px over.

Ok, thank you for suggesting something new/alternative and for your efforts, but (just as an ordinary / amateur person):

Why the two horizontal lines below?
Why grey (for the 1st design) ?

Especially: Am I the only one who thinks this?:

This time the X looks like a "banned" "forbidden" "do not" ... kind of warning signage.
