[ubuntu-art] New icon needed: Software Updater
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks We have a usability problem in Software Updater (formerly known as Update Manager). The problem is that when the updates dialog appears by itself, there's no visual clue that this is an official Ubuntu thing. In Ubuntu 12.10 and earlier, the icon is just a brown box with an orange arrow. And in Raring right now, it's an A with a progress bar and arrows around it - -- again, nothing obviously to do with Ubuntu, and a bit of a non sequitur too. So, it would help if we had a new icon, one which obviously communicates that these are official updates for Ubuntu. One possibility that I've suggested is an airdrop -- a wooden box being lowered by parachute, where either the box or the parachute (but not both!) features the Ubuntu logo. http://www.google.com/search?q=airdroptbm=isch Maybe you have other ideas too. Please post your proposals here, or DeviantArt, or Imgur, or wherever suits you, and link to them in a reply here. Let's get something really classy into Ubuntu 13.04.

Re: [ubuntu-art] New icon needed: Software Updater
If you search for update in Google Images you get mostly variations of spinning arrows. The parachute idea is nice, but maybe it would be better to stick to what the user is used to and try to get something nice using those arrows. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] The new ubuntu update icon submission.
Hi, I've come up with a very quick and dirty idea, which would need better attention to detail. I started with the idea of + A plus, in terms of updates, means extra. It's what it was before, but a little bit extra. In terms of shopping, the plus could be used to express getting more. Attached is the logo I created.

Airdrop idea rox. We should go this way. Imho those + or arrows are too usedup by others. I'll make some projects when i get home, which is about 3hours.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Self-announcement
Hi: Not really, but I'm creating one, see http://oicgallery.wix.com/gallery with some random works I've done long ago, I'll update it later. Right now I'm still working on improving photoshop skills. I guess I'm really not good enough to do the designs, I just like ubuntu a lot and try to see if there's anything to help.
