Hi, everybody!
I first encountered Free Pascal in 1998 or 1999, when browsing everything Pascal on the net. I've used Turbo Pascal since 2.0, on CP/M, in Orwell's Year, 1984. (In 2000, I switched to D (aka Dlang).)
The first time I saw the Cheetah logo I thought "How cool is that!" -- But ever since that day I've had a hard time accepting how it moves unnaturally. I wished I had the know-how and tools to do something about it. And ever since, when checking the site, It's been a pet peeve of mine.
During the years I have converted quite a few people to Free Pascal. (D is not for every use case.)
-----
Now, the other day it occurred to me that I now have the tools and skills to do the job.
The thing you notice when watching a real Cheetah run and hunt is that it keeps its head still and level!
I fixed that, and tried to otherwise not change the logo.
-----
Legalese: I give the Copyright to my changes to the logo to the Free Pascal Community.
Also: I fully understand there are a ton of reasons to /not/ update the logo. But just in case, find my file attached to this post.
Thank you!
