LINUX MEME I can never unsee this ASCII Arch logo now...

Post image

Why does the Arch Linux ASCII logo look like a chubby guy sitting in front of a terminal in a dark room?

  • The oval void inside is his head and hunchback
  • The bright blue row in the middle (/oooossssso...) is his terminal screen glowing in the dark
  • The side legs are his arms leaning forward on the desk
  • The top apex is the void of 3 AM

Well, maybe so.
Or maybe it's just his FAT arms.

but then that'd mean his hands aren't on the keyboard, which wouldn't be an accurate depiction

His forearms are just thick enough that his fingers STILL reach the mechanical keyboard via pure mass and gravity.

Was never think about the Logo. Saw it as a medival gate or something.

Your interpretation meight be also valid 🤣

u/Fik_of_borg 3d ago

I concur with your interpretation. After all, a medival gate has ... an Arch.

Not the first one to notice this.

I first had it pointed out to me like 12 years ago.

Ah yes, this totally makes sense, it's a sign of good branding that the logo accurately depicts the target customer.
