I don't like the JPG one, but it's just to trigger conversation. The idea was to symbolise the differences in the different image formats (png has alpha transparency, GIF has a limited palette , JPG has a larger palette with no transparency.) Interesting idea. I would use fewer color fields for the GIF them though. The brighter fields for PNG do not manage to get transparency across. How about - landscape photography, smooth with gradients, for JPG - just a few colors in a grid for GIF - some kind of poster with a cut-out shape in front of a checkerboard (like used by GIMP and PS to show transparency) ?

Re: [ubuntu-art] Breathe generic/blank + image emblems proposal
Din A series format, nice :) Yes, I gave it the exact dimensions of A4 so hopefully it will look accurate. Interesting idea. I would use fewer color fields for the GIF them though. - landscape photography, smooth with gradients, for JPG - just a few colors in a grid for GIF - some kind of poster with a cut-out shape in front of a checkerboard (like used by GIMP and PS to show transparency) Good ideas, I'll try them out. But where do these actually appear, instead of image thumbnails? I think image thumbnails are the only place for this type of icon. Most people probably wouldn't see them because they have nautilus set to have image previews (I know I do!). Just playing around really :) -- - Danny King of Gleaming Pixel Web Design.

This shouldn't stop us from developing our own later but I don't wanna get hung up on it now when we should just get the base files together. But where do these actually appear, instead of image thumbnails? Locally one will always get the thumbnails but on network connections I think the default turns 'em off. But there's also alot of image types that aren't thumbnailed. -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] Breathe - Major BZR update.
So after some chat and consideration of previous opinions it was decided that the large format icon be changed from 256px to 128px. This will provide enough hi-res detail for the future as well as simplify using parts of the Oxygen set. Please redownload the updated template as well. * Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/breathe-icon-set * WIKI: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet If you grab the trunk branch you will see I have started to populate the Breathe folder. This will allow someone to symlink that folder to ~/.icons and keep up-to-date with changes. (you'll still have to pull the updates though) The set falls back to GNOME only so it should be pretty easy to see what needs done. Things still need work for sure. We'll get there. Everyone is encouraged to test. -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] Breathe - Start-Here image.
So we need a start-here image. It's the one used in the Applications menu. Here's the example of the one for Oxygen: http://img359.imageshack.us/img359/5602/startherebd7.png Ours obviously needs to be the Ubuntu logo.
