For me, the angularity of the new font vs. the COF is very striking. Might work better if we do something like the Ubuntu COF where it's a negative/cutout/whatever.

I have to admit that I'm not really a fan of the new font myself and furthermore, I feel that Ubuntu Studio should walk a different path than vanilla Ubuntu.

Getting community feedback can be extremely helpful but community "approval" is neither a probability nor a necessity.

I think that the "made with" could use a diferent Font thant ubuntu. Also have you tried the new Ubuntu fonts? Also you can give a little more space between the letters and the border. other than that i like it. 2010/6/19 Scott Lavender > On Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 7:22 PM, Chris Jones wrote: > >> Amazing.

Re: Ubuntu Studio artwork proposal
That was a really bad attempt at sarcasm I assume. I'm sorry if my comment(s) seemed a little harsh. I couldn't help myself and meant no offense to anyone. I no longer use Ubuntu Studio but rather vanilla Ubuntu (lucid) these days. But I still lurk around the Ubuntu Studio mailing list as an observer as from a developers perspective, I find its evolution and development interesting.

Re: Ubuntu Studio artwork proposal
I like the idea and agree that it could help show others what can be done with Ubuntu Studio. It would be nice if several different "*Made on Ubuntu Studio*" logo styles were available to suit the usage-scenario. If they were readily available, professional-looking, and easily accessed, I can envision people using them. Thanks for thinking of this! On Mon, Jun 14, 2010 at 15:51, C. F.

Ubuntu Studio artwork proposal
Greetings Ubuntu Studio Users: Forgive me if this issue has been addressed or implemented before. I'm still learning my way around the various communities and projects and might well have missed relevant efforts. But if I have the privilege of actually proposing a viable innovation... As I look around the coffee shop to see who else is availing themselves of the free and fast wifi connection, one thing becomes obvious; most of these folks are Mac users. I live in a town which is effectively a suburb of a major city. Most of my fellow wifi explorers are high school or college students or the occasional business person. I trust it's not too heretical to state my opinion that Apple designs excellent hardware and software. However, the thought of locking myself into Apple's vertical matrix is even more objectionable than the cost of acquiring a "premium" computer. So, I have become an avid student and user of Ubuntu Studio. One has to appreciate the rabid adoration of the Mac crowd as well as admire the integration of all things Mac into a fairly cohesive and persistent marketing effort. For example, scroll to the bottom of this web site; http://www.faculty.fairfield.edu/faculty/hodgson/Courses/so191/Projects2007/Stott/Site/Welcome.html "Made on a Mac" http://innovationfeeder.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/made-on-a-mac.jpg Simple, elegant, effective and memorable. Apple officially licensed this art for some time; http://www.theapplecollection.com/various/MacMade/AppleWebBadgesMadeOn.html and dictated a standard usage policy; http://www.apple.com/about/webbadges/index.html. Naturally, Apple users also crafted their own vision of this art; http://allaboutiweb.com/index.php/2008/08/free-custom-badges/. Apple no doubt condones if not outright supports such innovation resulting in some enviable endorsements; http://the-tech.mit.edu/Projects/Macmade/. So, my point; shouldn't we have a similar, and no doubt superior, item for our favorite distro? Personally, I've elected to include something along these lines in whenever I can; http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/files/Tabbed% 20Tearsheet.sla-page1_0.jpeg and http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7001421/Washington%20Ubuntu/Ubuntu%20Card.pdf, but I would really like to see as an OFFICIAL "Made in Ubuntu" type piece for marking our creations. It could be effectively deployed in print and electronic mediums. I believe that this item would help promote the Ubuntu Studio distribution and, as an added benefit, knock a bit of SMUG out of the Mac crowd. Just sayin... Ubuntu Studio developers and users; What say ye? -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
