[Gimp-user] GIMP ---> Pixi: suggested name change

[Joshua Coppersmith-Heaven <joshua feedbackfoundation org uk>]

Hi all,

GIMP is a great programme, but it is not a great name. Changing its 
identity to something more likeable will help to get more users, and 
potentially more developers.

There is a commercial image editor called Pixie (with an e), but not 
Pixi. This makes sense, as long as the software remains a pixel-based 
editor. I've thought about the name for a while, before google came out 
with their latest phone!

The logo could also feature some kind of pixelated pixi type character 
(think a stylised zelda character), to replace to paintbrush-dog, which 
seems to not have much in connection with the name gimp.... or am I 
missing something?


Be interested to know your thoughts,


All the best


Joshua
