Just as the prophecy foretold, the Ubuntu 23.10 Mantic Minotaur has been revealed!

Few creatures from mythology have captured the imagination of mankind quite like the legendary Minotaur.

The word Mantic is used to describe one’s ability to prophesy or reach into the future. Our lead designer, Marcus Haslam, pulled inspiration from the ancient past when creating our iconic Minotaur Mascot and new official wallpapers.

“The idea is always to create a compelling and memorable mascot, and now more recently to animate it. I used the maze and not a labyrinth. The maze was introduced in the Renaissance period by the horticulturists, this was visually more interesting. I liked the Minotaur being part of the puzzle keeping the same line thickness so there is a sort of illusion.”
