At first I said, "Why is a new logo so important just because they changed versions? Don't they have better things to do with their time?"
Then I RTFM'd and understood.

On what, the color cyan ? The Helvetica font ? The blobby rendition of Tux ?
If they have any humanity left in them, they will chuckle as we did, and realize 3.2 will probably be released in another two weeks anyway.

Slashdot sensationalism? (Score:1)
April fools is a bit late this year.
I do enjoy how the tongue-in-cheek posting by Derrick Wong has turned into a sensationalist /. headline.
Now comes the fun part -- waiting for other news aggregators to pick up the /. headline and spin it as "New Linux Logo!"

It uses the same pic as early Windows. That is a liability risk even if it was intended to be funny as people can confuse Linux with Windows 3.11.

Too late. Image is on the Internet now so nobody will ever take it down now.
And now my high hopes for Linux are all ruined.
