   While I congratulate @Fairphone their new logo, I cannot help but notice that they could have said "we got a new logo, here it is" without all that completely unnecessary and opaque verbiage:
   https://www.fairphone.com/en/2025/01/13/fairphones-next-chapter-starts-now/

   Just say "we have a new logo". Seriously. That's enough of an announcement. No need to go on for two pages about nothing at all really.

   I mean, come on:

   > No gimmicks, no noise—just purposeful design done right.

     @ujeenator no problem, but can they at least not tout "no gimmics, no noise" in a unnecessarily gimmicky and noisy announcement? :blobcatwink:

     @nblr @Fairphone it's also a brand of solid hardware, I am using one and I am very happy with the device.

     @rysiek @Fairphone Expected. It’s a lifestyle brand.

     @duxsco @ujeenator #CalyxOS works great on Fairphone 4, and gets frequent security updates.

     @rysiek @ujeenator I read somewhere that the new logo fixes #fairphone's security update delays and their kernel that came last in a security review some months ago:
     https://www.heise.de/en/news/Researchers-test-the-security-of-smartphone-manufacturers-Android-kernels-9838381.html

     So, yes. We customers cannot live without a new logo.

     @rysiek @ujeenator I use #CalyxOS, too, But, it's January 15th and the patch levels are as such:

     • Platform: 1 December 2024
     • Kernel: 5 December 2024
     • Vendor: 5 November 2024
     • Firmware: 5 November 2024

     I would say the 3rd and 4th are due to FairPhone's lack of motivation.

     Bugs fixed by January 2025 patch level:

     Pulling out my logotype book because there is something very familiar about those squared off counters in the p and o
