I confess that I am totally ignorant of the corporate identity of Ubuntu and that I run Kubuntu -- which makes me a real intruder :) Sorry if my style is out of synch. Perhaps the idea can be "humanized", any resources I can go look over? (read: I'm too lazy to search the wiki. :) ) Here's a few more, trying to make it clearer so it can scale. /d bug2.png Description: PNG image bug3.png Description: PNG image bugreport.svg.tar.gz Description: application/tgz -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Yet more proof that our little artwork community is filled with some damn talented folks. Do you have formal training? It would probably be perfect for an application identity icon. For Human icon integration, we need to follow the rather 'breadcrumb-like' trail of style that we can piece together from the existing set. Once again, _wonderful_ work.

In the menus and dialog title bar it's just decoration, but in the panel tray it should actually connote the 'oops' meaning (a problem has occured).

[ubuntu-art] apport icons needed
Hi all, There is an open request for Apport icons. Apport is a system for automatic problem reporting. It intercepts crashes of packaged software, kernel oopses, and failures of package installations/upgrades (with update-manager at least), collects debugging information, asks the user whether or not to send it to us, and creates a Malone bug report with the information. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport has some more detailled information. Apport needs icons for various purposes: - panel tray if a crash happened while the user wasn't logged in, or a system process crash - 'Report a bug...' menu entries (both in the Panel and in applications) - icon in the Apport UI dialogs Right now it uses a bomb with questionable copyright for the system tray, bug-buddy's icon for the dialog frames, and the default Gnome 'dialog alert' triangle for the menus. But it would be uber-cool to get a designated nice and descriptive icon for everything. It should convey the meanings 'bug, problem, crash', but needs to scale well down to 16x16 (dialog headers and panel tray). Have Fun! Bye, Ken-- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
