I would like to see an updated Artwork Team logo for the Wiki that could
also serve as a badge on other sites (launchpad?).
I suggest we start with a Wiki page to capture submissions and provide
guidance to the effort.
Flat approach
=
I'd like to try a flat approach, instead.
Everyone who wants to participate can put PNG files up on
http://www.foopics.com/
and post a link to the uploaded image here (replying to this mail).
Tools
=
Start with pen or pencil on paper, don't hesitate to present rough
sketches.
Once you go to the computer, Inkscape is the preferred tool. In any
case, we will need an SVG file as final result.
Goals
=
Focus on an idea/concept for a symbol, first. Ignore type, as we will
just set Artwork Team using the new Ubuntu font.
Primary goal is to express that this is about artwork/creativity.
Secondary that it is related to Ubuntu and derivatives (Kubuntu,
Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Lubuntu, ...).
One way to express the relation to Ubuntu is to pick up the basic
geometry of the Circle of Friends logo. But don't just modify it, rather
play with the circle divided by three or equilateral triangle concept.
Style
=
Looking at the visual identity of Ubuntu as executed on
http://www.ubuntu.com/ we should prefer filled shapes and a 2-tone
approach (orange/white). However, we could consider another color than
orange and/or an extended palette (3 or 4 colors) for our own
sub-identity.

Thorsten,
Thank you for the guidance. I was not aware of foopics.com but I uploaded
an image to test the process and I support the tool as it is very easy to
use.
My Test Image (Wallpaper):

If anyone has an opinion why re-branding this team is a bad idea I would
really like to hear it. At the very least we need to come into alignment
with the new Ubuntu branding standards.
Otherwise, let's post some ideas to foopics and talk about it here.
John
