Damn is that just of SVGs or of built PNGs as well? Is it using git-lfs?
I think only the latest release logo is natively an SVG file. All of the older release logos are PNG and/or XCF files which account for most of the size of the repository.
$ du -hs releases/
488M releases/
The other big source is the wallpapers.
$ du -hs wallpapers/
250M wallpapers/
Looks like I hadn’t pulled in a while. The repository contents are 765MB. 1.4GB if you include the git objects.
No, it is not using git-lfs.
Are we firm on having gaps? Without gaps it looks great and won’t have any issues when scaled down.

i also think no gaps looks fantastic.

Yeah and it avoid the short lambda neck! (I do like having them to when the logo is used in bigger size, but there is no real reason behind it, which in design is quite important)
Thanks to @zmberber and @djacu for their work on a new NixOS logo.
I’m currently more favourable of the geometrically perfect design by zmberber.
On a small-ish side-note: When searching in the Matrix room of NixOS Marketing team, there is no message about djacu’s draft. Some about release logos (which are kinda gone by the new branding-repo as previously mentioned) and some more about users not wanting the logo be seen in pride colours. Meaning, I agree there was no real way for zmberber to get to know about djacus work, which now kinda appears to be set in stone.
Would all parties, mainly djacu and zmberber, be available to find a way to combine their crafts in developing the perfect rework of our beautiful logo? Thanks again to you both.
It has at least been mentioned here: 2025-04-04 - Branding Redesign Minutes.
I mean if I would start working on a logo I probably get in touch with the marketing team first.
