Ok, this might cause some bemusement and confusion, so apologies in advance. Iโve decided to change the logo again.
Why?
The answer here is relatively simple. Itโs mostly because the more time wore on, the more I hated itโs overall look and feel. To me, it looked โcheapโ and put together quickly without much consideration for the overall statement and services that this site offers.
Sure, itโs consistent with development, writing code, etc, but Sudonix has become so much more than just a support site for NodeBB. Admittedly, itโs still very much the main content of this site as it has never forgotten itโs roots, but I have ambition beyond NodeBB itself as the main topic focus. If you look at the services page, youโll understand what I mean.
You can very easily see the justification here, and also notice that โDevelopmentโ is only a portion of what Sudonix offers.
So, without any further interruptions, hereโs the new logo
Great, but what does it represent?
Good question. If you look, itโs simple once you understand. The round circle in the middle is you - the user of this service. The lines around (which look very Japanese, but it wasnโt intended) is a wrapper around you - meaning that all the services and facilities here are designed for, and accessible to you - effectively, you should be able to find everything you want here, and more. Someone else made the comment about a strange sort of Turkish Eye, but itโs not
Ultimately, itโs a symbol of โcommunityโ. Somewhere we can all co-exist and learn from each other.
The โcompleteโ version of the logo, which incorporates text etc is below
Now, I personally think that looks โhotโ (probably the orange colourโฆ) - I might be wrong here, but it looks catchy (and not cheap). Youโll also notice the intentional division of the words โSUDOโ and โNIXโ - itโs always been pronounced soo-don-ix
and that wonโt change, but SUDO and NIX both have special meaning in the IT world as you probably know.
This is the logo, and itโs not going to change I also own the copyright for it, so it is protected at least where the jurisdiction extends to.
If youโd like to know where I got this logo from, itโs below.

The platform uses AI to generate suggestions for your logo. Itโs not necessarily โcheapโ, but not expensive either in my view, and you can amend it as many times as you like. The only thing I didnโt like was the lack of Google Fonts, so I used the .eps file and made my own version using the fonts I wanted rather than those I was forced to use.
Iโd love to get feedback on the new logo!
