I have made another improved version of the logo (in SVG format here):
It looks much better and more like a rabbit :)
from skulls.
I know, It looks like Munch's The Scream and still not friendly but wanted to suggest ideas like the SOIC8 mouth or Coreboot logo used for the sinus cavity. As inspiration, what about a logo similar to that of Jinx hackware
EDIT: Here is a gist of an SVG with Inkscape layers along with list of sources. I tried to make it less creepy and failed.

Hi,
Since the coreboot logo is a rabbit, why not a rabbit skull logo for the project? Although this is the first time with a vector graphics editor, I have created the following logo that has a Thinkpad's red cap 😄 (in SVG format here):
With more design knowledge the logo could be improved (shadows, 3D effect...). There are many more examples on the internet.

Thanks to a post on reddit, I created a bootsplash JPG image to test . And another version in XCF (legacy XCF format) to edit it in GIMP (after editing, you have to export it to 1024x768 JPG as explained in the post).
Also, there is BOOTSPLASH_IMAGE
coreboot compile option that may be easier to integrate into the project than with cbfstool
.

XCF version 11 is not supported by my GIMP 2.8 -.- could anybody change the text to
Skulls
https://coreboot.org
Press ESC for boot menu
that'd be great

I have updated the above post with new files. I hope the legacy XCF version can be edited.

I was just wondering what the goal of project like this would be...
What do you want to do with it that coreboot does not do?
I saw this repository as coreboot config and flashing documentation....
from skulls.
Initially I really just wanted to save my config. It turned out to be more fun than expected. Now it's (almost) a coreboot distribution, just like libreboot or HEADS.
goals (if it's not obvious, our docs could probably improve):
- create the most basic and easy to use coreboot system (so that people don't stop using it because it's complicated to use). We use seabios, libreboot uses GRUB, HEADS uses, well, HEADS, but I think you can build Linuxboot or others with it too
- make it easy to install
- be a tester for upstream
Maybe it's as a starter-drug that encourages people to use HEADS later.

Just had some free time and implemented my idea...

ok, we can't steal anything and should probably remove the image from here too.

I like the rabbit idea. Would you change it a bit? And I'd rather have it black/white only. (we don't want to be thinkpad-specific actually; plus black/white is a bit more accessible and easier to print). And maybe you could improve the ears' (or head's) shape so that it's more obvously a rabbit... but I don't know how exactly :)
it's really nice that you drew that! thanks so much.
from skulls.
Yeah, he actually looks more like an alien than a rabbit 😄. I will try to fix it, perhaps make it narrower.
from skulls.
It reminds me of Frank the Bunny from Donnie Darko. Not a bad thing in my opinion..
from skulls.
I like most of the logos presented here! Can't we display them in the first boot stage on the screen, like the BIOS vendors do/did ? That would increase the visibilitz of this project/coreboot dramatically.
from skulls.
sure that would be nice. How? Does seabios support adding a background image instead of colour? At least there doesn't seem to be a config option exported in coreboot. So how would the patches / configs look like?
from skulls.
never done it myself but there's this: https://www.coreboot.org/SeaBIOS#Adding_a_graphical_.22bootsplash.22_image
from skulls.
I hope I find time to test... Thanks a lot for the graphics! I kind of like it and would happily use that as the logo.
So we'll add the jpg that coreboot needs for building, and update the photo on the main README page :) cool
from skulls.
@apraile Great, this looks really nice! Can't wait to have it on my device !
I'd propose to (somewhere/somehow) add the term "coreboot" to it so ppl recognized the underlying foundation of skulls and to give credits to the great work of that project. What do you think ?
"skulls + coreboot" also makes searching for the skulls project a lot easier, for ppl passing by and wondering what it is.
from skulls.
Maybe sth like:
SKULLS
based on coreboot
press esc for boot menu
?
from skulls.
so I tested this a bit and it works right away for the nonfree config. it looks awesome and I pushed the changes so you should be able to rebuild.
it seems like running an option rom is required, and I have not yet gotten it to work for the seavgabios version. Who knows more?
So, I added the mentioned image to the repo now, "temporarily", but I'd also like "coreboot" or "coreboot.org" to be in there somehow, so I'd happily change it (or you just do a PR).
In case we cannot get this to work for the free version, I think we should only add it to the nonfree version and do a release anyways; we can open a new issue for that.
from skulls.
Thanks @merge for the work! A pity that does not work with the seavgabios version (I use the nonfree version and I have no experience with the seavgabios version).
I agree to make a mention to coreboot, I leave it in your hands to make the changes.
from skulls.
thanks!! @apraile do you want to add the XCF to our repo, or are you happy when I just grap and add stuff from you?

Yes, you can grap and add stuff, no problem.
from skulls.
It seems like we have a logo. As soon as someone takes a photo for the READE, it'll be more visible. For the remaining problem I see, I've created #59
thanks again for all your help here!
from skulls.
@merge Can you please quickly summarize the state of this ? Will we get a skulls bunny image now using the release images ?
from skulls.
@varac you'll see the bunny skull logo as splashscreen image when you flash our "normal" image. the "free" one, doesn't include it.
but: the README should say it all. Directly at the top. have you read it? Should we improve it? how?
thanks.
