Comments on: A new K logo? http://davigno.oxygen-icons.org/2007/03/12/a-new-k-logo/ Life and thoughts of a vector graphics artist committed to open source.

I think it should be different. Using the logo as a start icon only works if you have something incredibly simple like the apple icon, or the windows flag. The KDE logo is too complicated and detailed for this. I also don't like the blue box shape. I've seen it in other themes and always change it. It does not blend well with the rest of the taskbar and looks tacky. I don’t like it, not because it doesn’t look good by itself, but I don’t like the idea of having the KMENU icon be the KDE logo.

A closer look
I think the icon is too blurry, and that it…

It would be fine on the menu (maybe), but I like the current one - Clean a simple. Thanks for the rest of Oxygen! To be honest, I don’t think this should be a new klogo.

However, looking at the small (32) image next to my current Kmenu button, it doesn't look too different. I'd recommend distinguishing them a little more. It looks good.
