What if the 'logo' was a little less prominent. Perhaps a bit smaller but still centered? I'm sure you thought of that, so put up the other versions! :) Arjuna -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] ibex idea
Hmm, I couldn't see the circles in the background until I tipped my laptop LCD downward. That's a bit of an odd effect. In addition, is it just me, or does the curvature on the spiral seem a bit... off? It seems to change sharpness, rather oddly; ideally, it'd be a smooth spiral.

That's pretty cool, Kenneth! An issue I find with a lot of the ibex wallpapers is that they look like decapitated animals, which Will Not go over well. (Stuffed animal heads pinned on walls. ...Anyone remember that scene in Ace Ventura?). This one cleverly avoids that by showing the distinctive part of an Ibex people actually notice and leaving out the bland bits that people can't figure out what to do with. Also, while there is no Ubuntu logo, the palette and shape hints at Ubuntu's branding pretty well, which is how things should be. As for the background, I am not a fan of the additional circles. Now that my screen brightness is higher, I see that it kind of repeats the same pattern in the background as in the center, which hurts your otherwise very striking effect. Perhaps it would be useful to look at an Ibex's environment for some inspiration as to what can be done with the background. Alas, just rocky probably doesn't help much... Straight lines, small amounts of vegetation and sharp edges may get somewhere. For some reason my rather hopeless imagination is now being invaded by the Ford tough logo. I'd better get out of here before I say something dumb :) Bye, -Dylan -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

all I can say is wow, that's amazing, but it reminds me of the debian logo... -- Ubuntu FTW! -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] ibex idea
actually, i like it especially because it reminds me of debian logo. sort of like tipping a hat to debian while having its own identity.
