    From Joshua Allen@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 5 16:10:02 2021
    Dear debian,
    I was wondering if the logo was inspired by bdale garbee's tie dye shirt?

    Thanks
    Josh

    It was subject to a Debian vote in 1999 - https://wiki.debian.org/DebianLogo

    "The chicken" was used for a period before that.

    The version with the bottle appears to have been more or less unused - the
    Open Use logo - and almost everyone has used the Debian Official logo - the swirl.

    The swirl is also very close to one of the demo outlines in a commercial graphics application - I forget which.

    All the very best, as ever

    Adobe Illustrator. And not a demo thing but the default settings for an built-in drawing effect.

    Well, no, the swirl is the Open Use logo, and the bottle is the Official
    logo -- see https://www.debian.org/vote/1999/vote_0005
