[ubuntu-art] Ubuntu ISO Testing Team Artwork
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Troy. Hi everybody. As I've told on IRC, we at the ISO Testing Team are looking for branding for the team (i.e. an image, a logo, and an icon, which can be the same or not). We thought in CD's, flames (because we burn CDs to test theme), glasses (because we check the CDs carefully looking for bugs and problems)... but we're open to your suggestions, since you're the artists! The Launchpad page for the team is https://launchpad.net/~isotesting And the new images should be (Launchpad requirements): - -Mugshot: A large image of exactly 192x192 pixels, that will be displayed on the team page in Launchpad. It should be no bigger than 100kb in size. - -Logo: An image of exactly 64x64 pixels that will be displayed in the heading of all pages related to the team. Traditionally this is a logo, a small picture or a personal mascot. It should be no bigger than 50kb in size. - -Icon: A small image of exactly 14x14 pixels and at most 5kb in size, that can be used to identify this team. The icon will be displayed whenever the team name is listed - for example in listings of bugs or on a person's membership table. I think that's all! :) Best regards Emilio -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGL8czPHB1VjBTaKERAkdMAJ9iNGrbkpn19C1gopUE9dCuhwvz/gCeL+bD nV9Q4PQ3L1Z2HOztjnP40oE= =ya+i -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

The 'burning' suggestion in the K3b logo has always made me think of destruction (!) rather than a creation process (that is, burning a CD DVD etc), so I offer the thought that flames may not always give the positive impression you want. A testing situation puts me in mind of a question mark (?) and a strongly moving probing activity - in your situation - brings to mind an arrow or sharp point. Combined these could become a question mark (or more than one) each with a probing arrow at the end rather than a dot. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

What about some sort of laser to signify the disc burning and a magnifying glass for the inspection portion?

Guys look at the specs. 1) It is for Launchpad -- the audience doesn't really care about internationalization in this case. I fail to understand this - perhaps not internationalization in the narrow software sense, but the logo must still have meaning that can cross cultures easier than a rather colloquial metaphor in English (burn a cd) 2) The mugshot is 192x192 -- get out your pencils. 3) The logo is also quite large -- 64 by 64... I don't think size negates the need to consider all the important factors in a branding decision (no matter how small) before creating. Instead, I would suggest that the size means that people will actually be able to see the visual metaphors being used, and so smart decisions can have a long-term payoff. I doubt anyone wants to see some stale Tango icon. I take offense to this remark, as it implies that by suggesting an idea used by Tango (the simple specular reflection or lightburst), I was recommending a stale Tango icon. Personal feelings about icon sets aside, this kind of remark devalues small contributions by community members and can lead to a Not-Invented-Here mentality (for instance, the visual metaphor being chucked as stale Tango), not to mention seriously discouraging contribution. I have been debating continuing my read-only involvement in the Ubuntu Art team for a while, and comments like this that entirely miss the point of my message (to point out a potential design hole that may be considered) and make a blanket generalization certainly don't encourage me to increase my level of involvement. I appreciate the work you do for Ubuntu and the Art Team, but please consider that the long time lurker, rare-time poster may be easily discouraged at the point of contribution with comments like these. A hostile environment helps nobody.

I have been debating continuing my read-only involvement in the Ubuntu Art team for a while I do not think that Troy was being offensive in any way. In addition, I am not sure whether a read-only involvement is involvement at all. In any other community based effort this would be called lurking. Not that your opinions are not needed and wanted but if you haven't given either until now dancing around personal feelings (when as I stated the opinion given was not unfriendly or exessively negative) is also unneccesary in my opinion.

[ubuntu-art] Ubuntu-Art Identity @ 305
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Well we certainly aren't the '300' but we hit 305 members! That is a _lot_ of interest in Ubuntu artwork and design related matters. As a fun marker, and after having the ISO testing guys request some work, how about we do a little ditty up for ourselves? It's a free for all -- something humorous? Something serious? Whatever hits your fancy. If anyone is interested, ship the work off to me personally via email and I'll put it up on the Launchpad site. I'll take a scanned sketch all the way down to a fully finished SVG. In the exceptionally rare circumstance that we receive more than one submission, I'll shoot a poll up and we can decide which one we all want for our identity. Thanks go out to Etienne Bersace for his long standing identity branding work. Sincerely, TJS PS: The specifications for the Launchpad site are as follows: 1 SMALL ICON IMAGE: A small image of exactly 14x14 pixels and at most 5kb in size, that can be used to identify this team. The icon will be displayed whenever the team name is listed - for example in listings of bugs or on a person's membership table. 1 SMALL LOGO IMAGE: An image of exactly 64x64 pixels that will be displayed in the heading of all pages related to the team. Traditionally this is a logo, a small picture or a personal mascot. It should be no bigger than 50kb in size. 1 MUGSHOT IMAGE: A large image of exactly 192x192 pixels, that will be displayed on the team page in Launchpad. It should be no bigger than 100kb in size. Thanks for anyone who contributes. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGMAJ+ar0EasPEHjQRAmsoAJ9U+8UrzP7shD2TSRtlhKeyxeY8LgCghcx9 tg70EgljU6fC59V42syzQow= =b7vS -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
