It is amazing the effect that you've achieved with arch's logo. I was thinking some days ago if it would be possible to change the unpolished perspective of the official logo at arch's home page.
I wonder if you hadn't proposed this well proportioned, clear, and good angled image as the new official logo.
Arch is one of the best distros so you deserve double grats.
I hope to see more of your artwork soon. I drink to make other people interesting.

Well, I'm in a similiar situation atm. I used cinema4D a few years ago but stopped mainly because of my switch to linux.
I didn't want to use c4d under wine (and was unable to start it with recent wine version anyway..) and was kind of scared by blenders UI.
After reading a few tutorials my fear is gone and I start to enjoy using blender
Try it out! You'll like it...

  • Is there a tutorial for creating Arch Linux logo?

    as the title says, I am looking for a tutorial on how to create Arch Linux logo using either Gimp/Photoshop/Inkscape
    Any links / videos to one would be nice
    Thanks in advance

    You have the artwork, you just are interested in how it was created?
    There is a thread here somewhere about the new logo - Thayer describes the font selection (from memory), but I don't recall any detail about the icons themselves.
    You could always just work from the originals with trial and error...

  • Announcing some new Arch Linux Schwag offerings

    Hey All,
    I wanted to introduce you to some new Arch Linux Schwag offerings I've been cooking up over the past little while.
    I'm currently sold out of case badges, and Simo has faithfully shipped his last order.  I'm trying to think of a way to compensate him, he's done so much work for me on the shipping front and all I ever offered him was dinner, (granted, he's a starving student, and dinner was hopefully much appreciated).  When I reorder stickers, probably in the new year, I will be shipping them myself, from Canada, so domestic prices will be a touch higher.
    Now, onwards to Schwag:
    It's no secret that I'm the odd man out on the tacos vs poutine debate.  I know you all will come around to my way of thinking eventually, but in the meantime, check out the new schwag where you can proudly pick your piece.  I've also added a few other new t-shirt design, mostly as your suggestions.  Check out the new products line at zazzle to place your order:
    http://www.zazzle.com/archlinux/gifts?c … 1284817680
    I think most of you know about the laptop bags, jewellery, and case badges (currently out of stock) selling at: http://schwag.archlinux.ca/
    I've added a few handmade items of my own invention to the mix, including wooden and soapstone sculptures, keychains, and coasters, all featuring our favourite distro's logo:
    http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/coaster/
    http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/soapstone_sculpture/
    http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/sculpture/
    http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/keychain/
    I'm particularly proud of the soapstone sculptures, they look incredible.  I'm not sure I can give them up.  The keychains will also make great stocking stuffers this Christmas season, so remind your friends to shop Arch Schwag!
    In addition, I would like to announce a preview of the Arch Linux Handbook.  This should be retailing in a couple weeks, and will be available from both CreateSpace and Amazon.com.  The handbook is basically a quick restyling of the epic beginner's guide in the wiki.  You can preview it here:
    https://www.createspace.com/3398103
    That's all for now!

    That's Acecero's contribution, as he implies. :-)
    Also, there's a typo in the handbook's headline: "A simple lightweight Linuk handbook."
    Yeah, I know... sadly, I didn't notice it until it was too late to change (the book was set up for publication).  Now I have to wait for a new edition, or pay $40 to put one out now.
    Acecero wrote:Just curious, are you going to release different editions of the Arch Linux Handbook from time to time? I'm assuming the information would need to be updated and the more marketability you will gain anyway.
    I'm hoping to sell between 10 and 50 copies of this edition to pay for the upfront costs before making a new edition.  The more popular it is, the more likely I will be to keep it up to date.
    BTW, if anyone is interested in doing cover art for the second edition, get in touch with me.  I've been told that this cover looks like ass (it was gently, with links to tutorials on design :-D)

  • TidOS Public Alpha release (New Arch Linux based distro)

    I'm a regular lurker on the 4chan technology board (AKA /g/) and I've been following a project known as TidOS by the user "King Neckbeard". Think of it as a preconfigured/prericed Arch Linux installation for those that want a quick and dirty setup, something like Archbang with xmonad instead.

    aww.
    well you are all welcome to poke your nose in at #witchlinux on irc.freenode.net , it's still alive, n welcomes everyone else's input.
    there's the arch rowan witch release, a half made archiso, which is basically to be pretty much the same as where the debian rowan witch.iso left off, and then later once it's built to some reasonably satasfactory standard, a larger fuller witch called jamella is planned to feature loads of tiling window managers, xmonad of course included, as well as awesome, and others, as well as a raft of programmer tools n toys, and then later a refined sleak but complete witch after that.   so goes my plan anyways, but of course, anyone can run off n make their own witch, and are encouraged to do so.    so if u want a preconfigured arch with xmonad, once we get rowan out of the stalls, jamella will soon follow after.   (i been distracted with other interests this past month or so tho, so my contributions dropping off have slowed things, but it's still alive, i assure you.)
    or....
    to stop me going on about witch... tidos could be revived!  XD
    and i wish you all the best with that.

    I played a bit with usplash today, but it seems that only 4:3 images are supported AND images can't have more than 256 colors. You have to mess with C Source Files to change text and background colors (by picking an index of the 256 color palette)...remembers me of making grub splashs (only  16 colors ). Because of the 256 colors gradients won't work well and I think I stick with gensplash until usplash has improved more. On the other hand usplash with my wallpaper looks not too bad

  • Arch Linux Logo Competition

    Hello everyone!
    As you may have heard, the Arch logo as we know it is going the way of the dodo!  We are refreshing our graphical identity, and in that spirit we're having a logo competition, open to the entire Arch community!
    We want to know what you think of when you think Arch Linux - what logo do you think would best suit the distribution we've all come to love?
    Submission guidelines are as follows:
    . Anyone can submit as many logo concepts as they wish
    . Entry is freeform, with no need to base it on current logo. Be creative!
    . For the sake of moving the competition along, artists will maintain the rights to their works until the completion of the competition, when we've decided what to do with license issues.
    Per submission, you will need:
    . SVG sources for logo preferred.  If you don't know how to make SVG logos, but have a great idea, visit this thread; foxbunny has graciously stepped up to help with logo concepts.
    . Fill out the following on this submission sheet (courtesy of foxbunny)
    .. Name (or alias)
    .. Main logo areas (white/black/neutral BG)
    .. 2-colour or Black version
    .. 128x128px and 16x16px icon version
    .. Colour palette used
    All other fields are optional - you do not need them to create a submission, and omission of those options will not count negatively against you.
    Submit completed submission sheet attached in an email to travis AT archlinux.org. They will be posted in this thread; two weeks after the date of this post, we will collect all submissions in that thread and judge.
    Judging will be the job of the Developers, and will proceed as follows:
    All submissions will be posted to the [arch-dev] private mailing list, and developers will give their +1 to those logos they like.  They may add a +1 to more than one submission - once all developers are accounted for, the logo with the most +1 votes will win.
    Should multiple logo submissions tie for first place, those entries will be announced to the community, and we will have a community vote on the forums. The logo voted highest in this case will be the winner.
    Additionally, we'll want to use the logo for additional media - CD labels or wallpapers, for example. If the winning author hasn't provided any, they will be given a chance after the competition is over to create this artwork, if they want.  Basically, no need to get it done before the judging, if you want to do it, so don't worry!
    Please note: there are also threads for logo concept discussion and for showing off possible concepts, without entering them into the competition.  Feel free to make use of them.
    Good luck to all participants, and have fun!
    NOTE: There has been some recent concern about entries by developers, since it is the developers themselves voting.  This was never forbidden at the beginning of the contest, and so the rules will not be modified for this halfway through; developer entries are allowed, and will be treated on exactly equal merit as any other entry.  Rest-assured, there is no reason for favouritism in this contest - if we wanted an explicitly developer-made logo, we would have simply done so, so there's no reason to choose a dev's submission simply because they are a dev.

  • New Arch Linux Schwag offerings: Speakers and Notepaper

    It's been a while since anything exciting has happened in the Arch Linux Schwag shops. Laptop stickers seem to be the most popular offering. I'm having trouble getting rid of Arch Linux Pens so they've been discounted to below cost.
    New today are a couple offerings in the Arch Linux Zazzle Schwag store:
    Arch Linux Speakers
    Arch Linux note paper
    Hope you enjoy the new schwag!

  • [Fake News] Arch Linux to change its release cycle

    Today the Arch Linux community proclaimed that Arch Linux will change its release cycle and version numbering, as this was requested by billions of corporate goonies, Freemasons and Illuminati throughout the universe.
    Releases will henceforth be scheduled in intervals deemed posh by the GNU/Linux community at the particular moment. The version numbering will be based on year the a new release is being published. Arch Linux "2016" will be released in early 2006. All following releases will have an offset of at least 10 years to underline how much more pure dead brilliant Arch Linux is compared to Mandrake.
    To achieve a smooth transition, an transitional release will be made at once, named "Useless Marketing Edition". The Arch Linux FTP server will be configured allow one download of the iso image only. This will also be an experiment to find out how the community will be able to spread such a limited edition.
    An Arch Linux user who wishes to remain nameless said in an exclusive interview with the almighty incinerator: "This is a great opportunity for Arch Linux, the new release numbering will confuse and divert computer illiterate lusers from installing our beloved Arch Linux, freeing us from answering stupid support requests. Now we can finally start to work towards our ultimate goal: To become the only GNU/Linux community being as elitist as OpenBSD's."

    Ach guys, you don't get it :-(
    The version numbering scheme was supposed to mock the fact Mandrake plans to release their "2006" version in 2005. That reminds of old times, when (computer) magazines were trying to beat each other releasing the most up-to-date issue to the market. The whole affair became absolutely silly, there were magazines that had the "April" issue hitting the shelves at the end of January. These "issue number wars" occur every now and then.
    The funny scenario I can imagine is that other (GNU/Linux) vendors could jump onto that train and "predating" their releases further and further.
    The rest is just various mockery about lusers and other things found in the Mandrake's press release. And of course the arrogantly elitist OpenBSD community always deserves getting their arses whipped ;-)

  • [SOLVED]New Arch Linux ISO Installation Help.

    Hi All,
    I am trying to install Arch Linux using new ISO. For some reason I am unable to log into Arch Forums on Windows and I am writing this on my tablet. I will add more info (proper quote, etc.) as soon as I am able to log in a laptop browser. That being said I am trying to install Arch using new ISO. Here is what I did.
    Partition using cfdisk /, /home , /swap and /boot.
    Format all these in ext4.
    Create folders in mnt - root, home, swap, boot.
    mount partitions in mnt folders.
    Pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
    Error
    ERROR: /mnt is not a mount point!
    I install in /mnt/root which probably doesnt touch other partitions like home boot and swap.
    I follow other steps on installation wiki and reboot takes me back to windows.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    You don't need a root folder. /mnt is the root mount point. Before you mount boot and home:
    mount /dev/sdax /mnt
    where "x" is the number of your /root partition.
    then
    mkdir /mnt/boot
    mount /dev/sdax /mnt/boot
    mkdir /mnt/home
    mount /dev/sdax /mnt/home
    (replace "x" in all the /dev/sdax with the correct partitions.)
    Error
    ERROR: /mnt is not a mount point!
    you should have stopped here and posted or tried to figure out what you did wrong.
    The edited Beginner's Guide is very clear about this. You should read it.

  • Arch Linux Logo Contest: Discussion of logo concepts

    Okay, so this time let's get it right, shall we?
    This thread continues the discussion that was going on in the other thread.
    Some notes before things start to look ugly:
    * you may comment on any of the logos already submitted to Travis[1], or any of the artwork in the artwork collector thread[2].
    * you may post your opinion whether technical or non-technical, or simply state 'I (don't) like this or that'.
    * you may discuss the matter of Arch Linux branding as well, but it is depreciated; open a new thread if you think that is important
    * keep in mind that people might find negative comments offensive, so please formulate them precisely and mark all your personal opinions as such.
    * if you have reason to believe comments coming from members of this community are highly biased or inappropriate, please do NOT reply publicly, report the post to moderators and admins
    Discussions in this thread may only touch on the actual logos, and "we don't need a logo chage" type of rant is depreciated. However, you may post anything logo-related if you can make a good point.
    <joke>As a general rule, please do NOT annoy other participants.</joke>

  • Arch linux logo

    I was always wondering what is that black "shadow" behind the mighty blue arch? It certenly doesn't look like it is cast by the arch, so what is it?
    The only idea that it came to me is that it is a ponytail.  :?  But then the arch seems to me like a cherokee. (no ofense meant here to any cherokee arch linux user. i was just recently playing prey )
