Aren't the three evenly-spaced vertical green bars with increasing length, the same thing as the standard wireless icon on most systems? I think they were blue in Ubuntu 10.04 and earlier, but they are green in Windows 7. White on Android. But the same concept remains: three or four increasingly-long vertical bars, evenly spaced. If that's true, then many people would misinterpret this icon as having to do with wireless :) Other opinions?

Re: [ubuntu-art] Introduction Request
Hey, Alexander, I really like rbpitch5 and rect3813-0! rbpitch7 looks kind of like a certain rude gesture ;-) I might consider swapping out the excellent tuning fork from Saleel for rect3813... but it would be great if you could use the same pattern as 3813, but with the little horizontal slices like rbpitch5. So, combine the slices style of rbpitch5 / 7 with the vertical bar sizes of rect3813. That would be great! I'll still include saleel's svg in the distribution since it is a small file and people might prefer it, but I could switch the default if you make the requested change. I'd really appreciate that!! :) Thanks, Sean On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 1:34 AM, Alexander King alexanderddk...@gmail.com wrote: Mk here are some more mock ups http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2869749/rbpitch5.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2869749/rbpitch7.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2869749/rect3813-0.png -- Kind regards, Alexander King Oxodise Media | ABN: 93 128 144 953 310 24 oxo (310 24 696) | enquir...@oxodise.com | www.oxodise.com -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

[ubuntu-art] Introduction Request
Hello Ubuntu Artwork Team, I am a community / hobbyist developer, who has written a plugin for Rhythmbox called rbpitch. It is not being included in upstream Rhythmbox, but I have plans to get it one day included in Ubuntu, when it's ready. I have developed it using Ubuntu tools, such as Launchpad, Bazaar, and the Ubuntu Forums for user feedback. The plugin's feature is to allow near real-time pitch, tempo, and speed shifting in the playing song in Rhythmbox. It is licensed under the same terms as Rhythmbox. Here are a few relevant links: Screenshots: http://tiyukquellmalz.org/rbpitch-0.13.0.png depicting the configuration and user interface for rbpitch http://tiyukquellmalz.org/sean/rb-main.png with a stock GTK icon as a placeholder, where the rbpitch icon shows up on the Rhythmbox toolbar (see the red rectangle outlining the icon; I edited this in with GIMP.) User Feedback: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1303297 Launchpad (code, etc): https://launchpad.net/rbpitch I am writing to the Artwork team to ask for someone to design for me an icon to go on the Rhythmbox toolbar. My only requirement is that it be a distinctive icon. By distinctive, I mean, that it would be difficult to mistake the icon for another icon that is already used on the Ubuntu desktop. The reason why I want a custom icon is that the existing icons that are even remotely relevant, are already used. For example: icons of a speaker, music note, etc. are already used somewhere. I don't want to confuse the user. I could probably make a very bad-looking icon on my own, but artistry is really not my forte; I am a programmer. :-) I desire to make rbpitch available across multiple distros, but I've always considered Ubuntu to be the showcase distro of rbpitch: the one where I develop the code, and the one that (hopefully) will package it first. So in return for my contributing rbpitch to the distro, I would be grateful if someone could design an appropriate but distinct icon for the toolbar. If you would like to help me, then please reply with any ideas you have about what the icon would look like. If you are then able to create an icon, I will most likely accept your first submission if it is at least decent. My eye for aesthetics is poor, so I will readily accept something that someone else worked on and thought it was good. Technical requirements: 1. PNG, XPM or SVG format 2. 32 x 32 pixels if raster (there will never be a need to have a larger or smaller icon than exactly 32x32) 3. Background should be transparency so that the icon gracefully sits on the background color of the Rhythmbox window 4. Must be licensed under terms allowing royalty-free, non-restricted distribution in open source software. Example acceptable licenses: Creative Commons, Artistic, GFDL, GPL 5. Somehow the idea portrayed by the icon should be relevant to some of the concepts of rbpitch. Here's a concept list, including a brief list of possible applications: Concepts: speed, pitch shifting, music, sound End-User Applications: guitar practice, dance lessons, singing practice, entertainment, novelty, karaoke, vinyl playback, transcription, dictation And last but not least, I would be willing to make a $25 USD donation to the artist whose icon I accept, as well as a $25 USD donation to the Free Software Foundation (above and beyond my yearly membership). PayPal is my preferred payment method. I am eager to hear your feedback. And please feel free to send me elsewhere if I have found the wrong list for this request. :-) Thanks, Sean -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Introduction Request
Saleel, That will work great! The icon is kind of nice because the default position of the sliders on rbpitch is almost that shape :-) That's just the way it works out because of the supported ranges of pitch, tempo and speed varying. I know it's supposed to be a tuning fork, though: that is an excellent analogy to the physical world of what rbpitch can do. How would you like to receive your donation? Feel free to send me your paypal info off-list. I'll make the donation to the FSF shortly as well. I've wired it into the code with a few changes and pushed a revision to Launchpad. Installable debian packages for 10.10 are coming soon.
