I have always loved the transparent backgrounds, they are hard to get right, but I think TumbleWeed is very good. I am not sure that the jackalope should be so prominent... on lighter backgrounds it stands out quite a lot, and not all people will know the Ubuntu 9.04 has anything to do with Jackalopes. Having the jackalope in the bg is a cool idea, but I think it needs to blend in with the background a lot better. Maybe having the subtle contours of a jackalope made in the weed? The really tricky part is that people not "in the know" should not notice it, while people with prior affiliation to Ubuntu should notice it straight away. -- Cheers, Mikkel -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Artwork Deadline One
I uploaded two new images to the wiki for your consideration. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Jaunty/Impression/Background The first has a darker Jaunty to enhance the rabbit illusion. My desire is not to have a skeleton look but keep with the sketch appearance. The second image is an example of how the appearance changes completely by simply changing the background color. I like giving folks the opportunity to tweak their desktop to suite their personal tastes (Impression is the same). As far as Jaunty is concerned, I am transparent on whether he stays in the final product.

Good start, but I think they need some texture. They look VERY fake right now, though I do like the concept.

I think they will work. I'm iffy about the color strength. Maybe we should use something like the ones I showed in the 1st post? But I like the finish on them. Good start. :) -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

I really think the name would look odd translated... I agree with Steve
Dodier, this is good enough :
Name[fr]=Breathe
Comment[language]=Thème d'icônes Breathe
If we were to try to keep it consistant with the slogan (Because Humans need
Oxygen to Breathe), we could use a translation of the name... For example
"Parce que les Humains ont besoin d'oxygène pour respirer", but I think an
infinitive form ("respirer") is strange, an imperative could be better :
"Respire" (like "*Breathe*!", not like "You need *to breathe*")...

Still this is doable. Your background is impressive. I personally thing that the jackalope could be removed, and it would not take away from the piece. The user will look for it, and like most mythical things not find it. Ken: are you still doing abstract backgrounds for final release? if so this one minus the rabbit looks gorgeous. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

As said when I posted it, it needs some work. It's actually based on the Oxygen one. Generally I like it, target-like or not. ;) It's obvious I'm willin' to use something different as I've made 2 specific calls (and mentioned it in other threads) for a start-here so get to work. :) -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Hello people, Here are some proposals for the french name/comment. > * Name[language]=X > * Comment[language]=X a) with the Breathe word Name[fr]=Breathe Comment[language]=Thème d'icônes Breathe b) with a french word, i just can't use the accurate translation. Breathe means "respirer", but it really doesn't sound nice to my ears to use a verb. And if we use the noun for the action of breathing, it gives "respiration", which is pretty ugly. I would prefer using the verb "souffler" which also stands for "to blow". Which gives : Name[fr]=Souffle Comment[language]=Thème d'icônes Souffle I still definately think it's more beautiful to use Breathe. Something else, i'm sorry but i've to say i really dislike the icon Cory K. proposed. It looks like some sort of archer target. I'd actually prefer a logo based on Ubuntu's one. I can give it a try but i'm a total noob with Inkscape so i'm more than likely to fail.
