There are a lot of logo submissions just after a day. The Ubuntu Eee/Easy Peasy community is really thriving! I thought I would show you a few to keep you in the loop :)

I reckon the name is a stroke of genius:
eeePC – Easy to learn, easy to work, easy to play.
Easy PC
Easy Peasy,
Lemon Squeezy (just because it rhymes)
As for the poor old lemon having negative connotations – whatever happened to the old saying “when life sends you lemons, make lemonade”?

Found this out there:
: : : Anyone know how this came to being? I was recently used in Austin Powers: Goldmember.
: : Found that it should read “Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy”.
: certainly “easy-peasy” has been around for 30+ years, I remember using it as a kid. the “lemon-squeazy” bit is less obvious – I think we used to say that as kids too. I’m almost wondering if it was from an old detergent advert.
As a british Chef explained to me this very evenint, “what’s easier than squeezing a lemon” — look, it all rhymes, why think about it too much.

Jon please reconsider the terrible name change! The community obviously has a great talent at making good looking logos (as seen on this page, and the wiki page), but I feel like their efforts are wasted when they are designing for such a rubbish name – like someone said previously “putting lipstick on a pig”.
What happened to the list of names that were suggested previously?.. Rune, ION etc. Any one of those names would be better than “Easy Peasy”.
As this is a community project, have a poll to see what the community thinks and THEN worry about making logos.
Many thanks

I’m very impressed with vinnipuhin’s design. Quite simple, but very professional looking.

Remember that these are only three of about 100 logos. Be sure to check them out: http://ubuntu-eee.com/wiki/index.php5?title=Easy_Peasy_logo_submissions

PMG pretty much said exactly what I think, the first one is way better for large communication and can be tuned/derived very easily.
I like the fresh lemon touch of the last one, but it’s designed for website’s banners or small logos.

I like the first one’s potential to be a good swag logo. On shirts, hats, decals, etc. But I think the 3rd has a more refined feel.

Sorry to jump to other things…how about new default theme in next version? I really like this theme

The third is the best.

In the American vernacular, LEMONS are only good for selling anything that is supposed to actually taste or smell like lemons.
In the States, a “lemon” is any defective manufactured product – usually a car – sold fraudulently.
Please, reconsider the word ‘lemon’ or its image when promoting an operating system.
By the way, impressive design work.

Wow! The 1st one looks pretty nice! I like the 3rd too… but I can’t get what the 2nd means… ?!
Jon, will you choose the winner yourself, or will you ask the community via a poll or something like that (maybe after a pre-selection….) ?

Third one is my favorite from this bunch. Long live easy peasy!
