Re: [ubuntu-art] [Breathe] Translation help needed.

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. I'll let some chat happen before I commit these. 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. 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
Re: [ubuntu-art] Artwork Deadline One
John Baer wrote: I am not sure the desire, but 2.19.2009 is the deadline one for artwork. IMO we should have our submissions to the point they are submitted to the wiki for comments. To satisfy that desire I submitted a customizable Jaunty background to the wiki today. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Jaunty/Impression/Background Yikes! thats only 10 days away! which means one weekend. 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

Similar comments have been made on the forums so far. -Cory K. 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*)... -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] [Breathe] Power option icons (help wanted)

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

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

They look fake? What are they supposed to look like? They're glyphs!

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.
