A quick and easy idea. Using the same concept used in U1 brand for the USC. http://ubuntuone.com/30SgZIkoCLbxKWGhS2CUpY The similarity with the U1 icon gives it coherence (as a Canonical service) and the color change makes it different enough to avoid confusion. The arrow pointing downwards is a very familiar icon for downloads. When it comes to getting software is probably more familiar than the shopping bag and avoids the "commercial" aspect (a shopping bag is a recognisable icon for purchasing goods, but it doesn't work well with the idea of getting free of charge goods). It is woth to notice that the amount of commercial applications in USC is still (and probably will stay) pretty low compared to the number of free packages available.
Additionally, this icon has a good readability in any size, which doesn't seem to be the case with the current proposed icon. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
