Re: [ubuntu-art] .doc, .xls, etc icons in Humanity Update
I deliberately didn't do perspective because I didn't want it to look too much like the Mac OS X version. I was thinking of highlights and/or outline, where is the svg for the icon stored as that was a quick mockup from the png.

[ubuntu-art] .doc, .xls, etc icons in Humanity Update
So I see a lot of nice changes with the humanity icon update. However the icons for .doc, .xls etc are really bothersome. The icons are blatantly ripped off the OSX version of Office. Why? I can understand having a W be pronounced in the icon for .doc like all versions of word, but why make the W exactly like that in the OSX version? Most people coming to Ubuntu would be coming from Windows if anything. I removed the Mac OS X Word W and replaced it simply with the Ubuntu Title Font and already find it an improvement http://old.nabble.com/file/p27613841/humanity.png Current Humanity .doc file http://old.nabble.com/file/p27613841/humanity2.png Slight change to Humanity .doc file -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/.doc%2C-.xls%2C-etc-icons-in-Humanity-Update-tp27613841p27613841.html Sent from the ubuntu-art mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
