You still haven't explained why it needs to be "related". Roots maybe, but both have long since gone their separate ways.

If it's simply that you don't like the font, fine, but I don't get why you keep using the above word.


Forgive me, Alan, but WHY is it necessary that he explain that to you? This is a public forum, not a court of law. It's enough to infer that he thinks it's important. I think I'd let it go beyond that.

Two cents.

I was asking, I was curious as to know where he was coming from on this.

Apparently one where if you dare to ask questions you get pounced on.


Perhaps, but your insistence that he explain it to you in light of a fairly obvious answer made it seem you were pouncing on him.

The Amiga legacy IS the checkmark and he merely wanted to draw a recognizable allusion between it and AROS.

Copyright issues notwithstanding, there really wasn't much more to it than that. :)

Since you wanna draw allusions to AROS's roots, maybe switch the bull's eye for a (red and white checkered) dart board? Just a thought. :)

Shooting an arrow at a dart board doesn't sound logical to me...

Neither does a black furry cat to represent the Amiga Legacy. :)

The point was to draw an allusion to the source of AROS's past. The only reason I suggested a dart board is because it implies an alternating pattern that better illustrates the image I was thinking of. Think bull's eye but with a red and white checkered surface. I.e. Looking down on the Boing Ball's polar north. This creates a strong allusion between AROS and Amiga.

Wow. I didn't know it was that serious an issue. :)

AngloSaxonUSA originally wanted to create a logo that tied AROS to it's Amiga past. I don't really see that Eric is a direct part of that past, and even if he is, the Kitty logo does not clearly represent it in a way that ASUSA desires.

You do realize that Inkscape is available for more than just Linux, right?

Just checking... :)
