Bottom row, 2nd from the left. Simple, clean, distinct.
- Agreed, it really stands apart from all the rest.
  
  Even from the one right next to it that looks almost identical??
- Aliyaut’s logo? It is clean, but it’s hardly even identifiable as a gecko. It blends in too much with all the modern corporate logos we have today IMHO. It’s not a bad choice if they decide to go with it, but they could do better.
- Ah yes, green Debian
- Does the order get shuffled each time?
  
  In the thumbnail?

Please not another ultra minimal mono color logo
- Too bad for you, they already have the logos for some of the variants and that's exactly what they're going for.
  
  Agony
  
  Yeah felt very obvious which ones will be chosen regardless of the survey...
- I don’t feel like they’re inherently bad, but they’ve become so popular that they all feel like they’re blending together. I think it’s kind of stale at this point.

In my opinion one of the full design themes should be picked because some of those single designs look very nice individually but would clash with others.
My pick would be Emiliano's theme, it looks the most like an evolution of the opensuse style. Imo the others are either a bit too minimalist or deviate too strongly from the original design.
Nikolayan's design is also good, but I prefer Emiliano's because that you can recognise the chameleon better in every logo.
- I like this one
  
  It is a friendly recognizable chameleon and they did a good job with integrating the existing abstract logos.
  From the Solo designs I loved the ones with the branch with different endings a lot. It had a warm touch to it, but was a little to filigrane for a logo.
  
  Kinda looks like an embryo to me.
  
  That one is my favourite. Cute chameleon (or was it gecko), but also simple. Looks great

Note that there are way more logos than those you see in the preview.

Bottom row, far right. Simple, minimalist, caffeinated, unhinged.
- Also looks like Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon.
  
  This is a very important feature
- I don’t hate it. I feel like the goofy smile makes it just distinguishable enough to stick out from all the other minimalist logos.
- People would ask what guy is it

The Kalpa goatse logo is interesting

Can someone explain to me what the fuck are the abominations labeled "Pab150n"?
- I am a bit late but this is the description: Represents the redesign of the SUSE logo to combine it with Colombian styles from the 70s and 80s
  
  Thanks, just looking at it made me dizzy lol.

Is there a reason given why they can't use their current logo?
- They can, they just want to change branding to look less like SUSE logo

I liked the ones that didn't stray too much from the original. I always liked the gecko, but found it to be a bit weird looking.

I really like these two :
- The first one is definitely a xenomorph
- too bad they're already doing minimal mono color logos. maybe if one of these designs shifted to adding up all of the colors of the remixes it'd work

I love all of the minimalist options here, they are so cute!

I just hope they don't ruin the logo with too much minimalism. There are good submission in all of that

The survey is crap on Mobile! Literally not useable

pprmint designs are by far superior imo

Personally, I like the theme by td0 the most. Minimalism was never my preferred style. Although, I don't like the color choice for leap specifically.

Most of them are pretty good IMO

Bottom and 2nd from left Bottom and right most
These look nice

The Leap version logo where there is a line 'making' a leap is very clever

The center bottom one looks like the sicp snake.

the calebp one is cute

The survey was absolute hell on mobile until I actually read the part where it says you can just double click. Made it so much easier. I personally chose the more intricate designs as my favorite and less intricate and more simplified designs as my least favorite. Detailed and intricate designs or nothing for me.
