Framework Fan Art 🎨🖌️

@P_bark

Wouldn’t this look nice on the screen when booting the computer?

I have created a plymouth theme (Linux only) with the animations from @sniss. If they allow me I will link back my GitHub repository for it. If no special license is requested by @sniss, I would like to publish the whole theme under the MIT license.

@noname i uploaded every wallaper and the blend 3d files on my github repo:

You can’t just literally call the laptop “Framework Laptop”, right?

Why not? Framework hasn’t announced model names; so far all the branding is for ‘Framework Laptop’.

[Xavier_Jiang]

@lthemick

model names

It would be nice to come up with names. If they plan on releasing multiple different models.
And even then, you can still name things. Intel famously made a reference design called a XPG or something.

The “Principle” 13 inch
The 15 inch could be “Evo” or something of that nature. “The step toward size, weight, cost and performance”.

So next time, when the 13 inch is referred, we would say “Framework Principle”. Instead of saying “Framework 13 inch Gen xyz”. If we get there, that is.

Thought I’d share some of my framework pixel art ^^
Can’t wait for my framework laptop to arrive!

[Duy_Bui]

Touch Sensor is not as clear as Fingerprint Reader.
Otherwise great retro art.

@httphantom

pixel art ^^

“I recon I could do better on that logo.”

Which one’s better?

@pixelforest

Right is final result.

You guys please remember who were using this fist in the past. It brings me bad memories… Raised fist - Wikipedia

[Mariusz_Chrobak]

Exactly. It’s like swastika - positive symbol used by political agenda, ruining it.

[Shiroudan]

Umm, the fist is largely used for activist motions fighting opression? While there are bad use cases, I think you all are overreacting? Comparing it to a swastika is pretty ridicuolous…

Also it’s the standard symbol for right to repair…

[Luke_Oliver]

I’m gonna side with @Shiroudan here, if you don’t like the fist, that’s totally fine, but it’s such a ubiquitous symbol that it’s unreasonable to assign it a purely negative meaning.

I don’t think I would ever use it, but there’s really no reason to come to a fan art thread and go “your art makes me uncomfortable”, if it makes you uncomfortable, just ignore it.

It’s not even the fist alone either, it’s the fist with a wrench, which is a different symbol, and one for right to repair to boot, which is kinda the whole selling point of the Framework laptop

[Mariusz_Chrobak]

Just be careful what signs you are using… I “feel uncomfortable” because people using these signs destroyed my country. I am ignoring this art, no problem, but I want to give my 2 cents, consider it history lesson. It’s important that we remember so we don’t fall into the same trap as X years ago.

Be aware. That’s all.

@Mariusz_Chrobak

You guys please remember who were using this fist in the past.

The fist part do have eerie resemblance to the fist that was shown in the wikipedia page.
HOWEVER:

1. Upon closer inspection, the fingers are made more angular, the area near “thenar eminence” is also slightly more angular, and the palm “crease” is also different.
2. Perhaps more importantly, the hand is holding a adjustable wrench, which, perhaps, have more meanings than the hand itself.

Because a wrench – by and of itself – does not mean anything. It’s just a common tool in a shop. Perhaps we can understand the fist to be a symbol of “the people”, which I don’t think is a stretch.
Also, this movement is literally called right to repair. It’s not about if you are able to repair or not. It’s to put regulations in how companies should support the " repair and modify their own consumer products in ways that would help increase their lifetime and/or performance".

And also, this same graphics (albeit, without the ring, and maybe slightly rotated) is present on effectively every iFixit product. If there is a problem with said graphics, then iFixit would probably have faced a much bigger issue.

It’s simply a symbol, yes, not unlike Swa[_]ka. However, the latter is related to, well, (mostly) crazy people, but the former isn’t.

TL;DR

It’s like how if your car tire had a puncture you don’t have to go to your car dealer to get it fixed, taking three weeks, and all cars effectively use the same wheels. You can change them out yourself or at a local tire repair shop. And attempting to apply this idea to other consumer products (including John Deere tractors).

And locked cellphones tied to a specific carrier’s networks.

I think we have had enough discussion on this matter, and we are getting way off topic and approaching “extreme discussion” territory.

[Fraoch]

This is getting very off-topic and could become inflammatory. Let’s get back to the fan art please.

“I recon I could do better on that logo.”

Which one’s better?

Bottom left’s my favourite!

[TheTwistgibber]

Agree! I dig the bottom left as well! It’s the BOLD version of the one on the bottom right.

[Fraoch]

Discussion around the swastika was moved to its own thread to keep this thread on topic.

Religious, cultural, political discussion about the swastika

In order to keep this thread on topic, we are moving all discussion of the religious, cultural and political significance of the swastika here. Please keep the discussion respectful.

[Xavier_Jiang]

The top “row” is just showing the process I went through to smooth out the pixels.

@TheTwistgibber

BOLD

Technically the one on the right is closer to the framework logo, but the smaller hole on the left make it look more cute
