Just my tuppence;
If the podcast team have decided on a (quite frankly, awesome) design, then
would it not be a good idea to make the Ubuntu-UK website coherent with
that?
I mean, currently, the Podcast is run by members of the UK team, and is
featured prominently on the first page of the website,
I like #1 too :)

Why not have a list on the Wiki of places people can take pictures of local
landmarks (CC-BY or PD licensed, of course) and then have a community vote as
to the best ones?

This project is going to be fairly big in size therefore I think a bit of

around at the moment.

I agree with all of that.

The podcast team were sent a mockup for the podcast site by a listener
a while ago. In general we liked it, and the designer (without
prompting) went off and created an initial go at the html, css and so
on. I quite like it. He even redesigned our podcast logo, which is
pretty cool.

Right, I had a go. Not particularly good.. but since LoCo = community,

You could have a picture of London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast on

1 is by far my favorite, then 6 and then 4.
I agree with the idea last night of a focus group though. It should mean
that potentail suggestions and design ideas will be a lot more organised.
