It definitely needs a more artistic touch. I feel like it suffers from the lingering open source dullness.

No hate for FOSS, but many of its brandings could use some more expressive color pallettes and dynamic designs. Tux is literally a black & white penguin sitting around. Lol

Erm actually.... it is comprised of 'black' 'white' and 'yellow' and 'grey' wich appears in the 'beak' and 'shadows' inhales mucus i use Arch gnu/linux btw.

Tux is just meant to be the logo of the kernel, which is not supposed to be exciting consumer product branding. Distros can and should improve their brand to be more exiting though
