Serge, That's a great icon! I like the orange version too. Now, in terms of getting it included in the distro, the gwibber package page [1] shows the maintainer as the Ubuntu core developers. So either ask the question via Launchpad (you have a link on page [1]) or send an email to the ubuntu-devel mailing list and someone should be able to tell you what the procedure is.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Title Page Design on the Planet

I decided to show the next round of the Ubuntu Manual title page design to a wider audience, so please have a look at: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2010/03/13/ubuntu-manual-title-page/ Nice designs. I can't tell the difference between a and b but I like them: they are simple and clean and the circle of friends pattern at the bottom says Ubuntu to me. c is a bit top heavy, with this big blob of colour on top and a large empty space below. d is OK but the white text on light orange background at the bottom is difficult to read. f, g and h feel a bit boring: even though the design is shifted to the right, all elements in the block are centred; and the dots don't have any obvious meaning, apart from filling empty space (and possibly making you feel that it's a big heavy manual that you don't want to read). Generally speaking, I prefer the flush left design of a and b to the centred design of the others. I also feel that in c, d, e and f, the logo is a little too large compared to the rest of the design. But all of this is subjective, they are all good designs.

I would go one step further: does this imply word processing document to the average user and does it tell him how it will be handled when they double click on such a file? Only if they can associate it with MS Word, know what MS Word is, understand that it is a word processing package and that on Ubuntu word processing is done by OpenOffice Writer. So you rely on quite a few associations. I think the icon should convey two things: 1. it is a word processing document that will be handled by OO Writer 2. it is a different file format from a .odt file and for those who know and are interested in the difference, it is an MS Word file So what about something like a customized .odt icon that uses the MS Word blue colour scheme and has a superimposed W on top?
