You are getting good advice here; if you don't go beyond the default AI aesthetics, your implicit communication will be that this is low-effort AI-slop. Regardless of your true effort.
Much appreciated. There's a lot to work on, and we initially chose to spend a bulk of our effort on the engineering work itself as it's the moat and the foundation to everything else. Everything else we can fix in time.
Having said that, I personally designed the logo and visual aesthetic and it serves a purpose. We believe in firmware freedom and hardware hackability, just like it was the norm in 70s and 80s. Of course it could have been executed better, but the current form is a specific choice after many iterations and certainly not low-effort. Too bad it reminds people of AI-slop, for an older generation it reminds other things.
