Hi Who,
I'm seeing your artwork and it has good ideas. Someone in ubuntuforums
said (as a comment to some splash images I posted there) that light
should come from top to get a 3D feel, as it's how it works in
landscapes. I would try that.
I like the border form the first six images. I suggest you to make the
big background ubuntu logo flat instead of lines. Another suggestion
is to make flat the ubuntu word, not the logo. It's hardly readable
with that glossy. Don't know if it is obligatory to make the word
black, if not, try with pure white and a subtle brown shadow to see if
it looks right. Maybe I will try later to play with the svg.

Hiya,
I really like your work, as evidenced by bringing it to the attention
of the list to discuss a while back - hope you don't mind :)
I tried to incorporate some of the ideas into the work I did for
Produce here -
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/EdgyArtworkPlan/Produce/Incoming/WhoLsplash
some of the earlier designs were done as a way of trying to reconicle
the gloss from MaG with your designs. The colours are different, but
your work was basically the inspiration...
I think gloss works well on those, but I think If I was to tone it any
darker brown then it would start looking worse - in my opinion you are
right that if we are using a dark brown then it must be flat and
smooth - silky, maybe.
I am not sure where the commitment to dark brown has come from, or
even if it is a commitment. I think the oranges that we were moving
towards for Dapper were too bright, but using caramels and the colours
from the Dapper GDM I think we can get a more professional look -
admitedly it is less earthy

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the list so I will introduce myself first. My nickname is
Nuak, I posted some images in the wiki and ubuntuforums a month ago
(after seeing in Digg an entry about the new Edgy look), and yesterday
I found by chance a discussion in this mailing list talking about the
splash images of the wiki:
http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com/msg02641.html
My opinion about this, is that while the current artwork is greatly
done, it does look wrong. I'll try to explain. When you don't have a
REAL glossy-transparent environment, using glossy effects doesn't look
professional. The art team is trying to copy Mac OSX, and Ubuntu is
not Mac OSX. Maybe when GLX and compiz jump into mainstraim and new
technologies are developed, Ubuntu could look like that, but now, all
that bump-glossy-transparent effects are alone in a flat environment.
Hum, It's difficult to explain... I think that the main theme should
be easy to the eyes. I mean simple while sleek. About the colors, I
like the warm browns, but that candy-bar orange looks very agressive
to the eyes.
And, last think I want to comment: Ubuntu logo looks way better in white ;)
I have attached an image with the splash that should look close to my
idea, using tango icons and a supposed GLX environment with real
shadows.
Greetings,
Nuak.
