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



I am against changing the name of it.
Discussing about it is a waist of time.

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.
Because recursive acronyms aren't funny ?
GIMP
Gnu Image Manipulator Program
Or
Green Is My Pepper
What's wrong about that ?


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
