A Call for FreeBSD Artwork [Archive]

manolis@

November 20th, 2008, 19:58

We've been having a discussion over in freebsd-doc concerning splash screens (these funky pics people like to display when the OS is booting). A section on configuring these will shortly become part of the FreeBSD Handbook and the general feeling is we need more original artwork. (A few FreeBSD related splash screens can be found on the Net, but we really need new stuff)

So, if any of you has created (or is willing to create) any splash screens, please note your intention here or send us links to your work.
In fact, any type of artwork would be welcome, since we are seriously lacking in this section.
Depending on how this goes, some of it may also be linked or become available through this page:

http://www.freebsd.org/art.html

Thanks

Hi,

The SVG provided here (http://www.freebsd.org/logo.html) doesn't look nice, here is what I can see when opening it with inkscape (converted to PNG to let you see) :
http://download.tuxfamily.org/fredgnix/artwork/freebsd/logo-freebsd-basic.png

Is there a way to have a good one ?
Another question, if I can ;) , is there a way to have a beastie SVG too.

All that will be a good start for Artwork.

Thanks.

I have the same problem. Tried with both inkscape and Gimp.

By the way, this is a well known page for CD/DVD artwork:

I've used it to create Greek labels too...

I think for the same reasons for the new logo.The answer is the same for both --some people are offended :OOO by cartoon devils. So in the interest of appealing to the widest possible audience, FreeBSD chose to play down 'beasty'.

I took this attached image from `http://www.freebsd.org/logo.html' and converted it to (1024x768 Indexed, 1-layer) using GIMP. It makes an okay splash screen. It is splash.tgz and becomes splash.bmp.

What's wrong with having an ASCII boot manager?
Less boilerplate - less things that might go wrong.
But it really should have ANSI color :)
And who cares about a boot-screen you will probably see as often as 1 time in ~12 months anyways? :OOO

The effort would be better put into styling up sysinstall, which is the "first impression" most users will ever see.

Right now i'm waiting replay from Marshall Kirk McKusick, to know if I need permission for each wallpaper or not.

I've already send him a copy of svg files

Sorry for not posting in the last few weeks, My personal life and work has kept me very busy. Anyway, here is Marshall Kirk McKusick's response about posting wallpaper on my site, http://picasaweb.google.com/randy.belk/FreeBSDWallpaper, that might violate his copyright.

Mr. McKusick's response:

> Mr. McKusick,

>

Your usage of the BSD Daemon in this context is acceptable.
Please note however that many of the variations that are
used on the wallpaper designs are not owned by me. They have
been created by other people and I do not have the right to
grant your use of those variations on the BSD Daemon. When
you grab a wallpaper to add to your collection you should
ensure that the person that you got it from allows it to be
redistributed.

Marshall Kirk McKusick

Here is my response.

I downloaded all of the Wallpapers from public wallpaper sites. So, I guess that it would be OK to distribute them. I will try to go back through them and see if I can find the owner. Thank you very much for your response. Would you mind if I post it on the FreeBSD Forum? Just in case some one questions the copyright again. I will not include any email addresses.

Mr. McKusick's response:

Sorry about the delay. Your email got lost in my inbox...
You may post my response on the FreeBSD Forum.

I created these splash screen versions of my above wallpaper. These splash screens require you use the splash_pcx_load option and have vesa enabled in the kernel or load the module.

Same as above wallpaper just pcx version.

This has "Loading..." added at the top

I'm working on a bmp version, but I couldn't get gimp to easily save as an 8 bit image, I'm sure I just missed something.

I was wonder if there are any plans to update the splash code to allow for more useful splash screens? Something that would allow you to see the boot message along with the splash or at least and animated loading type thing?

Well, there is nothing wrong with Chuck, apart from some Christian fundamentalists who cannot cope with the difference between demon and daemon. Last not least the trident symbolizes a software daemon's forking of processes. Easy, isn't it? If a fat penguin can rule the world, including major companies, then there should be also a place for a daemon and his fork. It's a mark for several decades of quality :-)

I do believe that branding images should be made avaliable for FreeBSD for those who want it (like me) especially for desktop. Unfortunately I simply don't really know what to suggest.

OpenBSD (sorry :p) has done really well by giving their logo a really cartoony feel. I do tend to believe that FreeBSD really doesnt know in which direction to go for their artwork.

Perhaps our friendly daemon could be redrawn in vector like Darwin's Hexley mascot. That way it would be easier for people who know how to do art, to create proper themed images etc...

Could be worse... we could just have a boring old flag :D (sorry NetBSD :p)

@oliverh: Why Christian fundamentalists? Do Islamic ones have no reasons for critics? Sikh people? Jewish? Buddhists...no, not sure they care. I also don't care. Mostly because here is wrong place for religious speculations.

Well, neither Tux nor Chuck rule the world. Not yet. But both currently carry the same message in background: homemade stuff.
That's what wrong with Chuck and Tux.
FreeBSD is unique and the only in the world, it's a brand and it deserves better logo than 3 table pub in Amsterdam.
Once great people adopted Chuck only to quickly run back to work. They didn't care and FreeBSD quality wouldn't be affected by a smiling pink crocodile instead of imp with fork. By now they created great product and now they care. That's why they called for better artwork.
Trident is the essence of FreeBSD, not a table fork, but Trident. And fortunately it was already on the logo! Who gets the power? U! User, not an imp, a fish or a hippo from comics.

Indeed, the OpenBSD folks seem to understand something about branding. Personally, I'd like to see Beastie retired.

FreeBSD does not need an directionless logo that says "'daemon' is almost spelled like 'demon', aren't we clever?".

Instead it needs a sharply focused brand that doesn't detract away from its goals. What are the top three priorities of the FBSD Project? If they are speed, stability and scalability, then the branding should suggest that. If its something else, then make it that.

Before any more images are posted, it would make more sense to nail down what the logo should convey. I would think the images should stem from that.

Well as Roman Catholic atheist, I first refer to the people which surround me. Furthermore the mentioned religions don't have such a strong picture of this very devil, especially not drawn like this. Christian imprint is e.g. a know fact in countries like the USA, do you need examples? But in the end, I really don't care about any religion, as long as they don't interfere with the real world (politics and so on).

>By now they created great product and now they care.

Sorry that's utter nonsense. BSD was a great and huge product in the past (since the 70s), even with a commercial success (BSD/OS). Today it's still great, but a mere insider tip than well-known product. Reality first, fandom last.

>Well, neither Tux nor Chuck rule the world. Not yet.

I seems you don't know what you're talking about. Linux "rules" the world in terms of media and servers - that's also a fact. It's a pity, but it's a fact. Forget the desktop, the desktop is ruled by Microsoft and some 3-4% by Apple, then maybe 1% Linux and that's it!

>Once great people adopted Chuck only to quickly run back to work.

Please stop it! Chuck was the mascot for BSD a well known _branch_ of UNIX in the past and base for many more commercial UNIX operating systems.The original Daemon is from 1976, the 2nd version from 1984. BSD btw. was born at the university not at work like Windows.

As you can see, it's a mascot made by intelligent people. And 99% percent of FreeBSD users and developers are happy to see Chuck even today as mascot. The official logo btw. is this silly jumping-ball with two handles.

Today we've got a silly FreeBSD logo, a rather boring NetBSD logo and an inspiring OpenBSD logo. We've got huge companies with Tux in their brochures and they don't have any problem with it.

Very theatrical, but when you remove the drama there's little substance. Sort of like some of Castro's speeches. ( ;

That said it's very likely the emotional attachment to the old logo will hinder a new one. It's another reason I agreed that the trident would be suitable. It hints at the history of Beastie while not desperately sucking at nostalgia's teat.

Well put. Except that it's really not just the U.S.A., it's more like half the b****y world.

I agree. Chuck is an integral part of the history of almost every variety of BSD-style UNIX and there's nothing evil or Satanical about him period. If anything, I think Chuck has done more good than harm. Several people were drawn to BSD out of curiosity, because they liked the cool little demon[sic] thingy and wanted to know what he was about. I think that's worth more than the nonsense of a few intellectually-challenged zealots to whom finding stuff to complain about seems to be the sole purpose of life, the universe and everything.

The official logo btw. is this silly jumping-ball with two handles.

I wouldn't go as far as calling the current logo silly and I can understand that it's probably more convenient from a design point of view, but I'd still prefer Beastie over something that looks like it could have been designed by Paul Teutul Jr. ;)

Alphons

P.S. There was an amusing anecdote in Greg Lehey's excellent book "The Complete FreeBSD" (I don't know if it's still actively being maintained so it may be somewhat outdated but when I got it I found it extremely useful). The story can also be found here (http://rmitz.org/freebsd.daemon.html).

Well as Roman Catholic atheist
Atheism is just another religion also based on a belief. So it must have its own fundamentalists...just to discharge religious voltage :)
BSD was a great and huge product in the past (since the 70s), even with a commercial success (BSD/OS). Today it's still great, but a mere insider tip than well-known product.
Bingo! That's what we are trying to do: turn FreeBSD into well known product! To be such a logo and a name are extremely important though it's just $0.02 of contribution but it's magical one. Anybody is judged first by his costume, his appearance, his body language. Tons of samples when a quite worthless person achieves a lot only because of right appearance. And vice versa we dislike sometimes somebody because of his appearance, we reject him, we are not interested and we'd never know that it was Aesop. FreeBSD needs a promotion so it needs winning logo and winning trademark to successfully enter the promotion.
As you can see, it's a mascot made by intelligent people. And 99% percent of FreeBSD users and developers are happy to see Chuck even today as mascot. The official logo btw. is this silly jumping-ball with two handles.
People could be intelligent in something and show luck of skills in something else, it's quite common. The "ball" is such a classic sample. It's wrong vision of the essence. I've never seen Chuck without the trident. Why so? Because without the trident he is just a cat or monkey. Face, head (bust:)) indeed represent a human, essence represents a daemon. That's why on this (http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/jpg/foglio.jpg) picture the falling one (on the left) shows us only his a.. but his trident is still there! :e
No need to handpick the mascot from 99% of current users who would hopefully become 0.01% of future users. And it's impossible to take it off our devs. Both devs and current users are skilled enough to create their own walls, splashes etc. You love it? You have it! But for others it's only immature image of mature OS.
That said it's very likely the emotional attachment to the old logo will hinder a new one. It's another reason I agreed that the trident would be suitable. It hints at the history of Beastie while not desperately sucking at nostalgia's teat.
That's right. Emotions never lead to success. Even in a theater if we are talking about an actor's career.
Let's get rid of such egoistic point of view, let's stop thinking about ourselves but rather think about FreeBSD and its future. I have strong feeling that "devil issue" has been pulled by ears to...keep the image. Many great projects has begun at uni by talented "teenagers" still inspired by Halloween, nihilism and strong willing to be different. Devils, ghosts, monsters...now plus robots, aliens...such stuff traditionally and successfully serve childhood. But kids grow and become adults. Eventually their symbols supposed to grow too. Times also matters. Let's imagine somebody hanging a banner from 50th on his Manhattan store nowadays.
Once more and finally: I am not about the imp and devilry in general. As I wrote if it would be a kinda Bugs Bunny or Sponge Bob or somebody's famous face I would write the same, namely poor logo implementation. Science and Art are on different poles of human's mentality. Nobody is talented in everything with exception of a very few "Da'Vinci". In reality everybody does his part of job. Thus Art must be done by Artist. We can only generate ideas for a professional designer.
Chuck served for years and like a loving father he's giving us such an idea, he leaves us his heritage that is already great opportunity: instead of creating something from scratch (times demand) we have a choice to inherit Chuck's essence as his simple, elegant, powerful and memorable trident.

Created with Inkscape and the GIMP. Feel free to adapt it as you like.

svg version (http://freebsd.diode.be/images/login.svg)

Created with Inkscape and the GIMP. Feel free to adapt it as you like.
On SVG image non freebsd emblem and white font, if use svglib (rsvg-convert and rsvg-view)

Hi f-andrey, Sorry: my fault. I thought the images were embedded in the svg, but they are not. You will need these two:

logo_left.png (http://freebsd.diode.be/images/logo_left.png)
logo_right.png (http://freebsd.diode.be/images/logo_right.png)

Easiest solution for now will be to open the svg in a text editor, and replace the (two) instances of
xlink:href="/usr/data/afbeeldingen/FreeBSD/logo_left.png"
sodipodi:absref="/usr/data/afbeeldingen/FreeBSD/logo_left.png"

to your local path. The same applies for the `logo_right.png' path in the end.

The svg may need some cleanup too :)
