Re: akademy2008 logo sucks.

i just think there's nicer ways of expressing that than "the logo suck, it really does". that's pretty a demotivating way to express it, and i wouldn't be surprised if it hurt someone's feelings rather unnecessarily.
you mention that we've set our own bar very high due to recent pieces of quality work; so it would be ironic if by achieving success we self-destruct by being increasingly critical of other's work in the process =) a couple of years ago we'd be all "omg! a BROCHURE?! awesome!" ;) i think it's important not to completely lose our perspective here and raise the bar so high that few if any can realistically contribute.
so ... realize that not every piece of work is done by the same person or group of people. and even then there will be variance in quality (good days, bad days, medium days, etc0. and it's important that while we strive for Awesome Greatness, which we hit more and more often these days, not to get too freaky when we "only" hit Cool and Groovy instead.
and *most* importantly, if we see something that could be improved, the best way to see that happen is to improve it. if we can't improve that thing (e.g. in this case, we aren't an artist), use it as motivation to improve something else. because by improving anything, we lift the overall quality and Awesome factor of the project =) |

Andre was right on target - the logo sucks - and it really does suck. Its that simple - the logo sucks.
What is wrong in saying the obvious? It sucks and the rest of the brochure also sucks. It sucks just as much as the desktop zoom thing and the panel in KDE 4.0x. Just accept it or at least accept that some people feel like that - we still use KDE so it's not that bad; - at the moment.

The problem is that:
- the remarks are demotivating;
- they bring more problems, not solutions.

Well... lately KDE developers seem to get real sensitive with critique. They, especially Seigo, seem to only welcome yes-sayers and not accept any critique from endusers. It was not like this 9-10 years ago when i first started with KDE - of course this was pre kde 4 ;-)
The point - accept critique when things get to dilettantish.

This is not about critique, it's about whining. And lately the whining has increased, and yes the "sucks" comments are just whining. Valid critique from end users are always welcome, just at it was in the past.

Think about the difference in the wordings "critique" and "constructive critique".
About the panel: The first computer needed minutes to finish the easiest calculations, so all computers are metal scrap. This logic is (in my opinion) very similar to the critic about the Plasma panel.
