Voting for new logo

[lunny]

@qdbdbp @kolaente Let's vote for Gitea's new Logo. First reply is for @kolaente and the second is for @qdbdbp and other replies before that will be deleted. The vote duration is from now until v1.2 release (about 10 days) I think or we have to put this to v1.3.

Just a quick heads-up on both though... Using the Git-logo in our logo is actually not legal: https://git-scm.com/trademark ... And technically neither is using the term "Git" in the name 🙄

So before starting to use this logo, we should send an email to trademark@sfconservancy.org asking if it's okey...

But the SF are more or less nice people, they allowed the usage for gitolite, GitLab, but one should ask for the written permission

@strk please comment after that two vote replies. So I deleted your comment.

@agaida Both of those have been Grandfathered, and none of them use the git-logo in their logo (and never have)

Also from Gitolites website: http://gitolite.com/gitolite/index.html#license

Note:
GIT is a trademark of Software Freedom Conservancy and my use of "Gitolite" is under license.

So, I think we will have to rewrite the tea tag to remove the Git reference. Is there any other generic symbol that refer to VCS?

I would wait for the response from SF first.

I think VS Code changed git icon to this one because of license issues

[jhasse]

because of license issues

Do you have a source for this? I think it was because they added support for other VCSs, e.g. SVN.

@jhasse No I have no source of this icon 😞
