debian的logo的由来

网上有一些关于debian logo的由来,但很多都感觉有点扯

不就是玩具总动员主角下巴上的图案吗?

真就参考玩具总动员里面图案设计的吗,会不会有点草率了

虽然“玩具总动员主角下巴上的图案”是一个好故事,但根据现在的材料来看,它与设计之间应该没有因果关系。

原型就是来自于精灵宝瓶冒出的气旋?

我找了很多似乎也没有满意的答案,对此你怎么看?

我想知道你对那个 Reddit 线程中的说法有什么不满意的地方?

有些网页我似乎访问不了:smiling_face_with_tear:

Hi, it was in no way related to Buzz Lightyear. If you look at the official Debian logo page:

Debian logos

You will see that what ended up being designated as the restricted use logo, was originally meant to be the general use logo.

The original idea was the logo represents a genie bottle as a vessel that releases a very powerful entity into the world.

The swirl represents the genie, that while immensely powerful, cannot do anything by itself, instead, it grants all that power to the user.

If anything it was inspired by Neil Stephenson’s article “UNIX, the Hole Hawg of operating systems” piece:

I hope this clears things up. The swirl, as evident by this sub, is a very common and ever present shape in nature, I wanted a non anthropomorphic way to represent the genie. It seemed to me that representing the moment when the being is released on to the world as a dynamic swirl of smoke would convey the enthusiasm I felt when I first learnt about GNU/Linux and the potential for free software to change the world.

Cheers!
