Something I just noticed from looking at the orange emblems again, is that the the lighting on them, makes them become a bit harder to look at.. the example I posted before has a very faint gradual tint in the round forms, but the glare on the orange emblems is really fat, which makes it blend in with the white icons..
I agree with your concern on the shape and color of the emblems, but design-wise, I agree with the way they have made them.. It is part of the unified look troughout the whole theme.. However, it still lacks some useability I agree.. The tangerine theme is good in showing the icons in shape, but not in color, or in outline.. They are all not the same.. Maybe it's a good idea to get behind the 'drawing table' and keep this thread going with some ideas and propositions? -- Round orange emblems have lack usability https://launchpad.net/bugs/73023 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
