Did we even get a mascot in the end

I mean they might not like it because it is "childish" or furbait, but cmon. Japs can use loli on her hard drive testing software and they prefer 30 min repainting of stock photo of octopus or other hummingbird.

>Did we even get a mascot in the end
Not as far as I can tell. Libbie got eliminated in the first round, a bunch of people got angry at TDF, and then the contest died quietly. The whole thing seems to have been managed incredibly badly.

Furfag thread? Just like old days of Jow Forums.

Jesus christ is this what only using freetard graphics editors produces? I'm not sure I can stomach seeing all of the entries at once.

>host mascot contest
>eliminate some entries because of some arbitrary reasons
>only remaining logos are ripoffs of corporate logos or just plain trash
>objectively the worst entry gets upvoted for laughs
>everything else gets downvoted into the negative hundreds
>document fagdation just decides to ignore everything and pretend the contest never happened
I honestly think whoever hosted the competition just wanted a specific entry to win and got butthurt that Tyson Tan entered and blew everything else out of the water (even though Libbie is objectively badly designed)
I mean, just fucking look at pic related and compare it to the "approved" contest entries
There's no fucking doubt whoever designed that banner entered the competition and probably influenced TDF
Wish I had the animated version, it looks like those malware PC optimizer extreme edition download banners on softonic

and then there's this faggot again

Why doesn't someone fork libreoffice and use Libbie as the mascot? Libbie was the fucking perfect mascot for this and they fucked it up.

Kiki a Qt!

Tempted to drop Libre Office now

> This great piece is the opus magnum of a Indian. Trully genious, see: The yellow represents curry, the orange represents curry, the blue is from the Gange’s water, which also goes into the curry. The gray is from the ashes of their ancestors, which are disposed in the ganges, so end up in the curry too. This Indian polar mammal is not only a mascot, but a work of art. Accepting it will be another step to LO demonstrating they embrace diversity.

The water in the Gange is not blue.

The gange is brown from shit and dead bodies. Its truly a wonder that indians bathe in it

>Tyson Tan entered and blew everything else out of the water
Fuck off, the birdie was by far the best mascot.
Libbie is shit.

to be fair "libbie" is pretty grotesque
I can only imagine it's fans of the "artist" that are upset that something this ugly was turned down, not that the final bootleg penguin as much better

whose hair is that? I cant recall

I think the Intel CEO? Not sure.

>Libbie is objectively badly designed
Why? She has a too much complexity and detail (especially compared to ), but other than that she is memorable and would be straightforward to adopt for new applications and promotional art. Her biggest problem is that she looks too furry.
>not that the final bootleg penguin as much better
>much better
No shit.

That parrot mascot is awesome

It's kind of obvious that Libbie was too similar to the Krita mascot

Gino Digiannantonio

He's right, though.

I fucking love Vatnik Polandball.
the edits are incredible, definitely some of Jow Forums's best work.

I agree with this, the company's target audience isn't just a bunch of edgy teenagers. Find something else to shove your furry smut on.

this, LO is used and sponsored by public offices

My bad
r/Pol
is that better?

Make it optional to enable then

I mean the boomer comment

>make it optional

god i hate faggots that ask for features to be added as optionals

why not do it yourself, faggot?

I know, im talking about his comment as well. Drop the boomer meme

In this case i guess even an icon pack would suffice.

>even though Libbie is objectively badly designed
the main complaint with libbie was that it would be hard to iconise but it was shown that it would be possible to do in a clean manner, however the competition explicitly stated the design was for a mascot that would be used more on merchandise and the likes rather than on the icon they already had meaning libbie would be fine, if anything it's a further testament to how shit the competition was from day one
>The Document Foundation has a unique branding with a clear and nice icon which cannot change.
>There is no restriction whether it’s a true mascot or just a symbol like Java’s Duke.

the birdie also got voted out too despite it being one of if not the best

the competition explicitly drew comparison to more anime mascots from kde and krita though,
>KDE is going with Konqui, Krita welcomes you with Kiki
it's hard to complain that a weeb furfag entered the competition when the competition gave two examples of his prior work
besides, microsoft has anime avatars, regional branding is a thing

Its a surprise that kde doesnt make their own fork with orynx

>wanting a mascot

This is why FOSS products will never work.

I'm imagining some absolute stinky faggot neckbeard with rotting teeth sitting in his dirty room drawing this garbage.
