And, once again, I have to ask, how much different does it have/need to be? It is slightly different already, in Ubuntu's normal scheme for spinoffs - if you look at Xubuntu's logo its a solid circle with the XFCE mouse inside in relief, Kubuntu's is a solid circle with KDE's logo inside. This is the standard Ubuntu flavor logo.
