Re: [ubuntu-art] alpha wallpaper and icon needed
Wow, I really like thorsten's 2nd version of the brown jackalope. I think this will be my wallpaper (on ibex) for quite a while. :D ~Dave -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Great job, Thorston!

I updated it with "more pronounced" antlers, but I think it was a failed effort. What do you think? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Jaunty/AlphaBackgrounds -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

I really like yours, Thorsten. ("Jackalope Sketch (Inverse)"). The
sketch style is a good metaphor for this being a development release.
Then again, Oblivian516's 2nd one is pretty awesome, too... Can we
have both? :P
It would be nice to have this kind of early wallpaper for every in
development Ubuntu, to keep people on their toes. (And those
"screenshot tour" media outlets confused).
I think the less pronounced antlers are a good idea. I've never
envisioned a Jackalope of having really significant antlers, since
that would defeat its cuteness. The first mission of any rabbit,
bizarre cross-species hybrid or not, is to be cute. I guess that's
where the monocromatic ones are again the least likely to stir
controversy.
Bye,

I like Miffan a lot - great work on it. The only "problem" is that the colors don't look Ubuntu-y. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] alpha wallpaper and icon needed
I've looked through all the submissions so far, and here are my opinions: *Jackalope Sketch:* Great job, Thorston! This has the best perspective of all six submissions. With a little editing to make the lines a little finer (not as rough), and this would be my favorite. *Oblivians Jaunty Wallpaper:* This one doesn't fit with what I consider the Ubuntu branding as far as wallpapers go. Plus, I never really liked branding on the wallpaper level. Seems too much like an advertisement at that point. *Miffan:* The colors don't really say "Ubuntu" too me. The rabbit's legs also look a little weird. When I think of a rabbit, I usually think of it as fluffy, this looks a little scrawny. *Miffan Edited:* Same problems as above. *Miffan Mod:* In this one, the rabbit's colors look washed out. Colors fit better though. *Miffan R3:* This one is also very good. With no Ubuntu logo, perhaps move the rabbit to the corner a little. Maybe some color adjustments as well (looks a *lot* like Feisty's wallpaper, imo). That is my opinion of each entry.

Re: [ubuntu-art] alpha wallpaper and icon needed
In addition, there is an app that needs an icon :-) The hardware and software testing app/suite needs a panel icon so that a user can intiate a test. At this point there aren't any really good ideas for the metaphor (a computer with a check on it was the latest and not so greatest idea) so feel free to innovate and suggest something different :-) As it is shown in the panel and the menu it needs to work well at small sizes. this makes me think of a clipboard with a couple checkmarks. x] -Brian -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Perhaps some text on the backdrop in the corner - in the same way you see the build number of a Windows pre-release system, as well as having a nice funky image to talk about / oggle at? > In addition, there is an app that needs an icon :-) The hardware and software > testing app/suite needs a panel icon so that a user can intiate a test.

Other suggestions from around the office include "gears/cogs" of some kind - wihch I know in GNOME is already used for launchers on the panel. Alternatively some kind of medical testing - taking the metaphor too far - test tubes or flasks. Cheers, Al.

[ubuntu-art] alpha wallpaper and icon needed
Hi all, Wouldn't it be nice to offer a wallpaper for the Jaunty alphas? People working on a test system would immediately know it and it might spur interest as well (or rants, etc). I don't want to put any restrictions on the design, the point is just to get something different in. If it helps to test out any ideas or work towards some goal that is an added bonus. All entries should go on the wiki. In addition, there is an app that needs an icon :-) The hardware and software testing app/suite needs a panel icon so that a user can intiate a test. At this point there aren't any really good ideas for the metaphor (a computer with a check on it was the latest and not so greatest idea) so feel free to innovate and suggest something different :-) As it is shown in the panel and the menu it needs to work well at small sizes.
