New logo


So 2.6.29 isn't quite out yet, but I've merged the new Tuz logo, so now my laptop boots up with two of these guys showing. See an earlier post about the plush version of this that I got while in Hobart for LCA 2009.

Also see the Save The Tasmanian Devil site for details about the devils plight.

All told, I think the kernel came out looking better than Bdale.

Too cool! But this will be a one time logo, right? Only for .29?

If so: Too bad! No Ubuntu with .29 .. no jaunty Tuz.

Igor said...

I love Tasmanian devils they are too cute! :D

Bdale's beard didn't look that bad ;-)

Hey Linus, any chance of photoshopping a plastic snout on the image of a starving African child for 2.6.30?

When did you become bono?

Surzh said...

Hmmm... Nice logo :) In my opinion it will be better if Tux and Tuz will be friends and we will see they together in every build .

Tux is a fine talisman, but he will be happy if he will have friedns in screen.

(only my opinion)

Bruno said...

Nice logo! Ling Live Tuz!

W. said...

Idea: Make Tuz the small logo for Cell SPUs permanently.

Just curious, why do you have *two* of those guys on boot?

Why not just the one?

I noticed this in knoppix, is this a bug or is that intentional?

I've always wondered.

Thanks,

Paul

develo said...

wow! wonderful!

@guptaxpn

I'm pretty sure the number of penguins is determined by the number of cores you have.

Bente Lilja Bye said...

Sweet logo. :-)

Surzh said...

"You're my hero"

Not only your ;)

In any case, today hero is Tasmanian Devil.

Tim said...

Doesn't an already popular unix-like operating system have a devil as their logo? Did I not once see you imply that some of those devils must be covered in fur, pleasuring themselves and (possibly) howling at the moon while focusing on security issues alone?

Ok, great photo, the bathtub was a neat background.. nothing more to see here, move along, move along ... ?

If your going to put energy into exposing the plight of even one group of living beings, then god help your inbox for .31

Sincerely,
--An annoying little fuzzy thing that has little to do with kernel development

Pawel said...

@Tim

'Doesn't an already popular unix-like operating system have a devil as their logo?'

I don't know any popular unix-like os with similiar logo (oh, there's freebsd, but it isn't popular right?).

'...howling at the moon while focusing on security issues alone?'

It looks you missed sites, go to apple.$, microsoft.$ or freebsd.fans if you suffer from security issues.

Btw. Tux looks far better in my opinion, but Tuz is not so bad for 2.6.29 only ;)

I think that if the amendment form and make it a symbol of open source would be the best expression of the will and power

Zibri said...

Hi Linus, I like tasmanian devils but I have to say that the old logo is the best so far.
Watch out on facebook because I will soon send you a nice picture :)

Unknown said...

Tux and Tuz together in the logo - the best. Single Tux or Single Tuz in the logo - bad. It is my opinion.

Anonymous said...

@mr_chapendi: Thanks!

====

When is Tux coming back again?

Tuz is only going to stay around for a little while right?

Surzh said...

notebook96, I say it too.

Frendship - it is basic relationship between items of open-source community. It can be undelined by the friendship between Tux and Tuz.

Surzh said...

*underlined

Khelben said...

I prefer the penguin.

Anonymous said...

I have to wonder if it is animal cruelty to gag a Tdevil with a plastic beak...

Bryan said...

I think Tuz can represent the set of recreational(non-professional) computer users who have, only recently begun convert to Linux, thanks to distros such as Ubuntu stepping up the user-friendliness.

Tuz just wants to join the Linux community, and that is awesome! Just to go along with what notebook96 and Surzh said ^.^

Scott Rippon said...

G'day Linus

Thanks for another kernel release and raising the awareness of the plight of the Tassie Devil.

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) publishes a list of threatened species (Wikipedia) each year.

The 2008 IUCN Red List lists:
- 3,141 species as being critically endangered,
- 4,603 species as being endangered, and
- 8,283 species as being vulnerable!

I find these figures extremely saddening. But if you ever need some inspiration for another temporary mascot it looks like you've got plenty to choose from!

Cheers,
Scott Rippon.

flibX0r said...

Too many people are commenting on this as if it were a bad thing. Obviously they don't know the whole story.

I was there at the LCA09 Penguin Dinner, and the reason behind this temporary change in logo is because it was part of a very complicated bidding process in which we raised about $40,000AUD in one night for the Tasmanian Devil. I can't actually remember if it was just a bid from Linus, or if it was a challenge to raise more money. It all got very confusing when maths and currency exchange got involved.

Why the Tasmanian Devil? Because the conference was in Tasmania, and every year at the LCA Penguin Dinner a charity auction is held to raise money for a local group. This year it was Save the Tasmanian Devil, a group working to cure the facial tumour disease that threatens to make them extinct.

So please stop complaining. It's only for one release, and if you hate it for some reason, you could just remove it from your kernel. Personally, I'd prefer to keep him for longer, but I'll live with my plush Tuz.

Samir Ben Abid said...

I think I like Tux better :(

Mirat Can Bayrak said...

make your job ha? just code do not draw lol :D stay away from tux we love him :)

Alexandra said...

Don't want to annoy anyone... but TUX beats all!

The mere idea of Linux without the Tux mascot? :(

r0ck3t3r said...

I learned all I know about linux from free books at Free Book Quest. I wish there was a group where I am that was into it, but I'm in back woods GA. I doubt it will happen.

Thanks Reece for clarification. - However, Mr. Torvalds seems to have a lot of humor in his blogg. But like Sigmund Freud once said: "There is nothing more serious than a joke."

E:H:M:K said...

Moi Linus!
can du berätta till mig att vilken distro använder du?

"[quoting Diego] "You're my hero"

Not only your ;)"

Not sure if Surzh is trying to correct Mr. Viola, but "You're" was the correct word choice here -- "you're" is a contraction of "you are," whereas "your" is simply the possessive form of "you." So Diego was right.

"In any case, today hero is Tasmanian Devil."
I'd rather praise those who are raising awareness of the plight of these animals and helping to raise money to save them. :-) Alas, the Tasmanian devils aren't able to save themselves, or they really would be heroes in this story. (They are, however, breeding earlier in their lives so they can have offspring before dying of those dreaded facial tumors; this was covered on Slashdot recently. Can't be too good for the species.)

KMZ said...

NOOO! Linus, PLEASE, dont't change the mascotte! Tux is cool, too cool! Is the first, is the best, is my friend! Tuz is nice, it may be a friend of Tux, but Tux must be the number One! W Tux!
Please visit my site about Linux: http://kmz.altervista.org/

Linus said...

KMZ: never fear. It's temporary. Tux will be back in 2.6.30, although people who prefer Tuz can obviously choose to then revert the commit that changes it back ;)

How do I undertake such a large project ? I am 30 years old and have been programming for 1 year in php. I want to develop my own ideas but I find that I am not that excellent programmer...any ideas how to plan and go about it ?

Surzh said...

Faltu, start your work by the reading of the "Just for fun" (L. Torvalds, D. Dimond). ;)

wpc000 said...

Hmm really strange logo. I used to like previous more. Hope this one wan't be an only one during config operation.

K said...

I don't like that. I think Tux is better.

:D
PD: you are my hero xD
PD2: is joke :D
PD3: please don't remove me :'(
PD4: tux is the best! tuz is ugly

This is not looking good. Anyhow its your wish to use.

What has been fixed with the new version actually ?

hm... I was little shoked, I afraid of Tasmanian devil... it is too terrible.
But, as I know, you lead movement for safe Tasmanian devil (dog?).
May you have success in this very good activity.

And may TUX live forever.

You should permanently change it.

The Penguin is such a soft animal and it solidifies peoples image of your average Linux user(hippy) like Richard Stallman

you want something with moxie something that will rip competitions(MS) to shreds like OpenBSD's Puffy hes a badass

mobile phones price and performance are a pair of contradiction. The word "shanzhai" is very popular in China. It is industry phenomenon of imitation, high quality and low price. Moreover, cell phones are the representative of them.The global financial crisis led to a significant shrinkage of assets for people. "china wholesale" demonstrate the might. most of them would like buy the cheap cell phones now .

Anonymous said...

Through google search engine, when you put in "discount cell phones", you will find more than 15,000 pieces of related information. Cell phone china has been concerned in the world. Many international sellers can get a considerable profit by ways of wholesale cell phones from China and switch selling. So it is a very good job on cell phones wholesale in the current financial crisis.Cellphone , it's not just talk tools.it make life easier.
