I think you are on the money. This is exactly the kind of tool we require. The process needs to show a more evolutionary progression. Diverse artwork in a plethora of different styles / looks isn't that useful to a product that seeks a more polished look.

The problem is the nature of the logo. It's essentially a torus, which means there simply isn't any surface to add the trademark curved glossy highlight to. By using only the top part of the logo, I have a much larger surface with which to showcase the highlight. I feel that perhaps by using the same style that's found in most other elements, we might be missing out on the full effect. I'll try anyway.

It _really_ has come a long way. For the consistency with the rest of the distribution, and a hope that sabdfl would pass it, could you try polishing it in the following directions. Again, these are optional, but I would love to see the cycling spotlight make it into Edgy. 1) Matching the logo curve style with the style that Frank offered up. It ultimately would need to match the final decisions based on sabdfl's / Frank's direction. The current curvature does not match any motif / element in the distribution. 2) Try a brown background. There are zero things in the entire distribution that are black, with the sole exception being the text logo. It would be wise to keep the black contrast of the logo as the singular black focus point now that we have the black restriction removed from the Edgy Usplash. I believe Dennis could clarify this ultimately -- once he gets some sleep. I think we could manage to convince sab to pass it assuming we can coerce it into the mainline look.

I would like that too, but a background might not work well for the same reasons it couldn't be anything other than black in the old usplash. I was thinking of shining a big spotlight on the logo that revealed a brown radial gradient-like background underneath it, but that doesn't work well with 256 colors.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Workflow management
Well, of all content management systems, I'll name the easiest first: -MediaWiki -Plone I've never used Plone. MediaWiki is very nice wiki software that actually uses a database as opposed to a flat file database (like our wiki). It's reasonably fast and feature-rich, and familiar to anyone who's used Wikipedia. There, now that these two have been mentioned, we can begin to suggest CMSs for the specific purpose of _artwork_ collaboration. I'm sure there are a few!

[ubuntu-art] Workflow management
The thread on shifting to the Forums made me think a little about the value of good supporting tools. The wiki is absolutely not optimal for a lot of what the artwork team needs to do. For example, there is just no support for revisioning *images* over time. I would like to be able to watch a collaborative "thread" of work, with people publishing their art and being able to review the history of a particular piece. We can't do this in the wiki. Does anyone know if there is a free software (or even proprietary!) web based CMS for artwork collaboration?

I'll see if I can ship you some Blubuntu stuff to make :) Thanks for the offer Thought, it occurs to me you should probably sleep first :P Just to confirm - we get an animation basically just for fun, a progressbar to show how far along loading is and a background image..anything else? Do we need to have certain colours from the palette in the 'right place' - like we used to have to have the fail text colour, etc? Do we need to worry about black borders for some cards too?

The radial light animation is just a black and white radial gradient tracing the contours of the logo while being blended with it.

I'm no artist and won't be deciding which artwork will be in there. I'm interested in creating themes though. Images need to be in .png format, for animation either each frame must be easy to generate using only square image primitives or each frame must be available as image.

It's good to hear something from the usplash front.

Tonight is this week's developer meeting, at 23:00 GMT, so if you are able to join in for a bit that would be great (it's at 01:00 in The Netherlands). Thanks for the progress update, I hope we're able to properly work around feature freeze limitations on the artwork for usplash. With kind regards, Frank Schoep -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
