GNU and terrible looking web pages and logos correlate still :D

• davexunit 9y ago
  For the record, this is not a GNU web page. The logo is the real GNUstep logo, and yeah plenty of GNU logos aren't great, but bashing the work of volunteers is really mean.

    Maybe you're right. Sorry. It was just my initial reaction based on that this GNU design issue has been raised to my attention before.
    • davexunit 9y ago
      It's all good. GNU has traditionally lacked volunteers experienced in graphic design/marketing.

        https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ and https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ two good looking (IMHO) GNU project websites that I know of. There may be others.

          Nice to see Guile so improved lastly. Also https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/ https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/ is nice.

  At least not standard three-column landing page with huge fonts, cheesy icons and "testimonials", like most of corporate opensource.

    And best of all, no explainer video with ukulele and glockenspiel music

    I hope https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ and https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ don't disappoint you :)

  The Gnu Octave page looks pretty good. I was hoping they'd start copying that look everywhere.

  How often do you need to look at these web pages? The vast majority of the time these things get installed from package managers.
