You refer to: The theme of this release is Natty Narwhal. Inspiration can be taken from the colors of the Narwhal and the environment in which it lives. I think those 2 sentences shouldn't be there. The narwhal has nothing to do with what Edubuntu (or Xubuntu) are about and this would be in conflict with palette choices of Edubuntu in the past, too. Offering release-codename inspired artwork to the community is fine. It's even something to consider for alpha releases. But it's only acceptable for the default artwork of any flavor, if the animal artwork happens to support the desired message and tone. Otherwise it's just a random topic, where you could go with mellow mushrooms as well ;) Also, could someone offer an example of what they are meaning with this statement The desired result will be an image which embraces the light Ubuntu design concept? See http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/308 I would drop the statement. It's not clear enough what it is about and why should Edubuntu care about the Light scheme of Ubuntu? -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] LibreOffice Logo Submission
Hello, To tell the truth, I have no idea what these logos represent. The first one shows some text... with what? And I can undertand that it's text only after I know that it's related to office. The second one shows a gear and something unrecognizable for me. Gears usually scare away non-technical users, and unknown symbols scare them even more. I'd rather use some symbols of ideas, skills, craftsmanship, maybe ease of use. Actually, all LibreOffice logos I ever seen seem to be from 199x to me, and the one currenly used at http://www.documentfoundation.org/ is the best because it's self-explanatory at least for people used to icons of Win2k/WinXP/Vista, Mac, GNOME, KDE, etc. I guess it's a nice logo for the foundation, though. For the logo of the suite I'd prefer something like the bird from thishttp://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Libo-Splash-merged.pngdesign because it's modern and symbolic. And this bird could also serve as a mascot. Respectfully, -- Sergey Shnatsel Davidoff -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

The inspirational image IMO has the right mix of colors but if this is not good we can certainly find a better image. :-) I wouldn't mind knowing more specifically what they want for the pallet. They suggest that we can use colours from images of narwhals, then there is a small pallet of three colours, I made a pallet from the inspirational image using http://www.degraeve.com/color-palette/ and then another pallet that is called the Edubuntu pallet. That makes a very wide range of options. Also, could someone offer an example of what they are meaning with this statement The desired result will be an image which embraces the light Ubuntu design concept? What exactly is this design concept? Thanks. Hrafn Hrafn, First of all I love the Color Palette Generator site. Thanks for sharing that as I was using Color Hunter. The attempt of the first palette is to simply box in the colors used by the GTK theme or colors of the community ( viz. Orange = Ubuntu ). The inspirational image is to provide a greater breathe to the palette. I am transparent to the light Ubuntu design concept. :-) If it doesn't make sense to the Edubuntu community then let's drop it. I would suggest the same argument can be made with Natty. I modified the wiki to reflect your comments.

Focus on 'A' is secondary to the relationship. Too much emphasis on the 'A' will make it necessary to redo the logo for a team 'B'. As the plan is to add more teams if the team 'A' works out.

I made the assumption the primary goal is to support the Launchpad site and if my memory serves me correctly the correct image size is 192 x 192 px. Actually 64x64 is the icon used on the lp team's main page, but lp has an option to add 192x192 and 14x14 images. 14px icon is used in a few places, But I have *never* seen the 192px image used anywhere. So i would suggest we concentrate on the 64x64 icon plus the 14px icon and not worry too much about the 192x192 icon, which we could just do as a banner for the team and not as a logo. -- Cheers, Vish -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
