Sorry for late reply, I hope it's not too late because I can't see this cover on SpreadUbuntu now. I like the idea of Tux in "certificate" icon, I don't remember if I said it or not (can't find it in logs now). Ubuntu is powered by Linux after all, and it's one if its major pros, so it's perfectly

I think I'm done with this one. Some new fixes are applied on the side icons, and it is left for considering till tomorrow, what will I do with front Tux and side Gnome icons. Some people suggested it's not that much related to Ubuntu itself, so, I don't know... I will upload this tomorrow or day

Thanks for suggestions, but I think I will leave mirrored circles, cause without them, the front side looks quite lifeless, compared to back. And too simple, even for this kind of flat and sleek design. I'm still considering what to do with Tux. Maybe I'll leave it maybe I'm not... About the "most

Hi, in my opinion you should remove the mirrored circles ( the lower ones) on the front, as that makes it look too complicated. Furthermore Tux doesn't have to do anything with the Ubuntu brand, so I'd remove that, too. And, most important to me would it be to use the Ubuntu logo without the w

Thanks for suggestions. I will play with things you suggested, to see how it's gonna turn out. About this Live CD thing, maybe it is better to remove it completely. Content area will look more coherent, that's for sure. Somehow, it's leftover from some old buggy OSs, to have that little "32-bit" m

I waited for someone to notice that small "live CD" addon. Cause I'm burning all Linux ISOs to DVDs too. So actually there is no big point in that, except I wanted it to be more "officialish", cause Ubuntu ISOs are always a CD releases (except alternative DVD edition which is very rarely used I thi

I can't see the point of the little "live cd" label. I store mostly alternate CDs or 2-in-1 DVDs, so that label is simply not true for me. And its location also seems unnatural to me. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

A bit of color depth is now added. So it's a bit darker overall now. I think it looks more dynamic now, compared to last one. And a little bit of noise effect is now added for those who requested it. :) But it's only temporary playing. I think I will remove it in final version. :) Here it is: http

Subtle noise is over used IMO. And this is print design, so once it's printed it won't really add anything, it might even make it look like it's been printed badly. On 14/02/2011, at 1:07 PM, Alexander King wrote: > maybe appy a subtle noise effect :) heaps of people use it, it makes it look >

Looks good, I like the color scheme going on. I am a new user to Ubuntu and I like your overall design. You should add a texture to the background to give it a real pop. Try using a color other than orange that will contrast with your background color, with a low opacity. On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 3

New fixes applied. Back info text is now nicely aligned and not floating around. Some small changes on side tab are applied too. Considering optical vs metric font kerning mantioned before, optical didn't provide any notable improvements. Here is the result: http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/6773
