The contest from last month had established five finalists:
The first row is the new logo that will be used going forward and in version 1.0 of the program!
They already settled with the first logo form the image. They use it on their site and on their Mastodon presence already.
From the available finalists this is the best logo in my opinion. It is recognizable in various sizes, in black and white, as outline, as silhouette, and looks different from the previous one but not wildly different, so the established CI stays intact.
They should update the lemmy community too…
Done. It should take a while to propagate to every instance.
Keep in mind tho, this is an unofficial community.
This is exciting. A much needed revamp of the FreeCAD icon.
The icon is modern and pleasing. However, I liked the late submission much more actually. Still great though.

I really want to love this software to break free of Solidworks and completely cut off Windows. That said, the UI needs some kind of overhaul to be a little more beginner friendly. I spent way too much time just trying to make a washer for a simple print. Are there any mods I can try to get it closer to work like Solidworks?
There’s a fork call Ondsel that is supposed to be quite good: https://ondsel.com/
While not being clear enough what it’s for, that last Rotom-Pokedex-esque logo looks very nice.
FreeCAD is amazing! I’ve used it to design and print several small parts for my car, and some other things.
I’m very excited to see developments in this, and I hope it reaches the Blender mythic for modeling. ❤️
Definitely would be nice to have a competitive alternative to softwares in this space that cost thousands of dollars per year.
