Re: [ubuntu-art] .doc, .xls, etc icons in Humanity Update
well, that is a lot better merk, definitly should be implented. the current logo is indeed a bit to... mac os X like. great work merk[?] 2010/2/16 Merk merkin...@hotmail.com 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.

Re: [ubuntu-art] .doc, .xls, etc icons in Humanity Update
well, merk. i can't look throught this thread tonight. (because im at work and my boss won't actually like it.) i think we should also need better icons for other docments, like pdf.

[ubuntu-art] Refreshing the Brand comments
As many of us will have seen already. Jono announced a brand refresh a couple of hours ago: http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/03/03/refreshing-the-ubuntu-brand/ As far as I can tell this art isn't finalized yet, so it'll be interesting to see what lands in Lucid and how the new brand evolves every release. I think on the whole I like it, it's a definite improvement, but still needs a lot of work. One thing that really grates me is the graphic in the logo is now superscript. It’s like a copyright circle or something. I think I much preferred it vertically centered on the left of the logo.

Why? I think it seems more dynamic, and may convey the idea of filetype better. The reason I say this is because a W fully contained within the document could give the impression of it just being a text file - letters in a document. Whereas, a W partially inside but slightly outside would, in my opinion, give the impression of it being part of the document and at the same time, _not_ part of the document, perhaps giving more meaning to the typical user - i.e. W being the filetype, which is in essence ephemeral to the end user. :) Just my attempts at logically laying out why I like the second one better :P Feel free to rip apart my statement. -Chris -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

How about the fact that I have to change it yet again once the new Ubuntu font gets finished? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brand Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2010 14:37:50 -0800 From: euxn...@gmail.com To: ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com Subject: Re: [ubuntu-art] .doc, .xls, etc icons in Humanity Update Thank you, if you look through this thread, there are a few other variations I did.

[ubuntu-art] Community Themes Too Hard To Find
As I installed community themes and I found the only way to locate the package was through Syntapic search. As Software Center becomes the desired software installation tool is there a way to add this package? I am willing to create a screen shot or other required artwork.

What if the community themes showed up in appearance, but faded and when clicked the user was prompted to install?
