Hi,

We are getting closer the 3.0 release and I think it might be a good
time to rethink the logo and website design.

The current logo was made by k0gen in 2010[1] while freshing up the
main website, which at that time was wiki.alpinelinux.org. It was a big
improvement from what was before that and I think it has done a great
job over the years. But I think we can and should do even better. Now,
with 3.0 release it is a good time to do so.

It would also be nice to have a consistent look over alpinelinux.org,
wiki.alpinelinux.org, bugs.alpinelinux.org and lists.alpinelinux.org -
and before start doing that, we should figure out what we really want.

I have mentioned that I'm interested in a new logo to a young designer
I met, Tobias, and he sent me some mockups. I think those were pretty
impressive.

I have uploaded them to http://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/2882

We probably should simplify it a bit more and we should have a 1 or 2
color logo variant. Maybe even something that works as black and white.
But I really liked the concepts from Tobias.

If you have better ideas or strong opinions to keep our current, then
please speak up. (it is normally not a good idea to change logo too
often)

Thanks!
