Congrats on the release. VLC, or "the cone", as some non-technical people call it is a household name. We have not been able to use it as a verb yet but when you can answer so many questions with "just use VLC" you know you have an amazing product. Thank you for the hard work and keeping VLC relevant.
- redial 9y agoThe cone. Whomever came up with that icon deserves way more credit and recognition.
- labster 9y agoI love the Santa hat on the icon, too. More projects should be playful with their logos. I hope VLC constructs additional pylons for many years to come.
- wldcordeiro 9y agoHere's the story http://nanocrew.net/2005/06/23/vlc-cone/ http://nanocrew.net/2005/06/23/vlc-cone/ One day, people from the VIA association (VIA is a students’ network association with many clubs … amongst those is VideoLAN.) came back drunk with a cone. They then began a cone collection (which is now quite impressive I must say). Some time later, the VideoLAN project began and they decided to use the cone as their logo.
