[ubuntu-art] Re styling the Logo, Circle of Friends 2009
Hello everybody from Russia, Saint Petersburg! :) I'm not shure that's the right place to put my message, so I'll be glad someone to help me to post the idea in the correct place. I made a new Ubuntu logo, and we have just discussed it with our LoCo at forum.ubuntu.ru, and we like it!=) So, here is the link: http://itmages.ru/view.php?action=view&id=6613&key=ae9b8d I'm sorry because the image is black&white, I've made it by hand on a paper, 'cos I'm not expirienced with GIMP. Ofcource, the logo must be painted in traditional Ubuntu colours! I'd like to know your opinion about the restyled logo! Can it be used in 9.10 Karmic?=) -Vyacheslav Kovalevskiy (aka Phoenix Corleone) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Restyling-the-Logo%2C-Circle-of-Friends-2009-tp2430p2430.html Sent from the ubuntu-art mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

:-D ... It won't be goodlooking on small sizes (22, 16). Surely not.

That said, I think it is really nifty ;) -- Ken > This is just my opinion on the matter though :D > > That would be a good logo for an Ubuntu derivative though.

Ubuntu needs new, smooth, more round logo, and Anton has caught my idea clearly. I think "it's time") Official Russian LoCo is going to take the logo as it's official, and some non-official LoCos, too. I think it's a reason to think.

I don't think the current official logo is that out-dated... Breaking building is extremely dangerous for a big company, and the logo is the first part of branding. People, with the new logo, may think that this is _another_ Ubuntu and not give it trust. Also, even if the logo is damn sexy, its assymetry gave me the thought that every of the 3 humans on the logo was embrassing the one on his right but rejecting the one on his left. That's not really a "circle of friends" anymore ;) I hope your logo will be used, but i dont think the official logo should be replaced for a good 3-10 years. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] Karmic Impression
I've upload Karmic Impression to the wiki for testing. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Impression Highlights are as follows: * New and improved dark metacity! I found it interesting the Moblin desktop uses buttons very similar to Impression. I found their "oOo" design very usable and changed Karmic Impression metacity to match. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Impression/Metacity My desire is Impression is stable, usable, and unique to Ubuntu. After many false attempts I came upon the idea to brand the bottom of the form with an orange gradient. For the most part this is just bling as all of the work is occurring at the top. As far as I know this is the first theme to try this. I'm sure folks will line up on both sides of the fence but IMO it adds value in branding (dark & orange). * Refinements to gtk I wanted to move away from the bold menu highlights to something light and stylish. Ubuntu Netbook remix menus gave me the inspiration. Other refinements include small changes to the toolbar and toolbar buttons and fixing an issue with text highlighting. Cheers!

Hey all, I've made an SVG, please excuse me if I'm not supposed to attach it in a mailing list but I don't really have any other place to put it :) Unless I do and I just don't know it...? I've had to take some minor liberties in order to make sure it's a uniform and consistent design, with arcs that are actually based upon ellipses. I basically just did some cutting with some skewed spheres and rotated them to the approx. positions. the colours are official RGB ubuntu colours as per: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official Obviously this isn't my original artwork so I'll just say I converted to SVG pro bono ruski publico ;) the original artist has full discretion over the copyright. Let me know what you think :) -Chris <>-- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

While the current logo is very clear in 16px. Also... right now , Ubuntu is very rigid about not changing its logo. Maybe in future, when they are accepting new designs for logo you can pitch this idea again :) Any such announcements, for new logo designs, will be notified in this mailing list, so stay subscribed ;) Steve Dodier wrote: > Also, even if the logo is damn sexy, its assymetry gave me the thought > that every of the 3 humans on the logo was embrassing the one on his > right but rejecting the one on his left.

But maybe the big "O" can be used *only* for the prelight ,as in,it is the small "o" when normal & on hover it grows to the glowing orange "O". And the opposite for the maximized windows... :) Just my 2 cents... Anyway,I'll be ripping it off for my custom setup! ;) Cheers, mac_v -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
