Re: [ubuntu-art] We *will* create a new icon set for Ubuntu. (naming)
No one seems to have taken heed: Howabout Air or Atmoshpere? Breathe just sounds a little disgusting. Haha, disgusting? I have to say I disagree. There's nothing more 'human' than the concept of breathing. We can all relate to concepts like 'the breath of life' and a 'breath of fresh air'. IMHO it's a perfect name :) We can also relate to concepts like morning breath, being breathed on by some nasty guy on the subway, and don't panic, just breathe. That name is just begging to be mocked. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

The idea is to create a modern a set as Oxygen but with that distinctly Human feel.

Inhale makes me think of certain substances, but maybe that's ok, too :) = Ideas for the early stages = Define a set of background colours to make sure the icons will look alright against Ubuntu themes. This should also have the effect to set a certain tendency in the palette, without defining it directly. (It should be evaluated, if icons can be adapted to varying backgrounds simply by applying gradation curves) Create abstract icons like a sphere and a box to give an idea about perspective and lighting. Define the virtual environment: Lighting and surfaces that are hinted at in reflections. It seems Human and Oxygen assume light straight from above. This simplifies shadows. I think the default theme and the icons should assume the same light direction. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
