I am sorry to say this, but this one looks soulless to me.

Couldn't quit put my finger on it, but soulless might be it. Doesn't capture Tux's personality.

There are some buttons to change the details. I like the "big-eyes" and "sitting" version.

It has the corporate letterhead vibe. I guess for some that is a feature.

Can we bring this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Crystal128-penguin.svg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Crystal128-penguin.s... version back instead? I hear Apple has decreed that glossy/glassy design is cool again.

  Testament to it's appeal is when it's used by businesses to promote their ice creams/slushies.

  I'm a fan of the 2nd revision myself, it's sooo Web 2.0 https://seeklogo.com/vector-logo/492036/linux-tux https://seeklogo.com/vector-logo/492036/linux-tux But the OG Tux remains undefeated I'm afraid

    That's the one (besides OG Tux) I liked most. Though the "glassy" original Tux wasn't bad at all. https://seeklogo.com/vector-logo/274040/tux https://seeklogo.com/vector-logo/274040/tux

  There were times when Crystal was even "ported" as Windows visual theme and later as package that swapped resource files: https://archive.org/details/crystal-xp-3.0 https://archive.org/details/crystal-xp-3.0

    Wow what a flashback! I think I used to use this back in the day.

      I had tons of these "visual styles" and I remember how MS liked to patch themeui.dll and uxtheme.dll often rendering theming broken. There were also attempts at customizing XP booting screen to achieve the perfect "it's not Windows" effect but that could easily render installation unbootable

I don't think Tux is perfect by any means, but that was my first impression too. It's the eyes. They look dead inside.

It looks a bit better with Tux's face: https://pmarks.net/posted_links/tux-weeble.png https://pmarks.net/posted_links/tux-weeble.png

  lol. That looks like some haunted playground toy found in a backrooms level. The eyes follow wherever you go! It’s all good though. Most of the “Linux logos” don’t look very good to be honest.
