Re: [ubuntu-uk] Vote Results!
To all those who are not happy with results, remember that we all had a chance to vote. Although the design I voted for did not win, I am happy that I was given a chance to vote. Companies like Microsoft are not likely to do something like this. But in the free software community we can all have a say, and those who put in more will get more out of it. Those who submitted designs are probably happy that their design had some votes, even if it did not win. And as Alan Lord wrote, we had 2 weeks to submit ideas for designs. I think that there was quite a good choice of designs to choose from, they all looked professional and of a suitable standard. And because we could all contribute in some way, either by making a design, or voting, we are all winners here. We contributed to something worthwhile. Most large software companies do not bother to ask people for their ideas or votes, they just create stuff and hope people will buy/use it. So I will finish by thanking those who organised this and for giving us a vote. And remember, the most popular design was chosen.

David King Thanks very much David, we have been working on this for a while, more than two weeks, in fact the first concept was put up on the second of July just after the font first became officially available to ubuntu members. http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/uuk/logoconcept.png this first design did in fact have capital UK, but scaled down to the height of the ubuntu lower case letters. I kind of liked that as a subtle design trick, it takes a couple of glances to work out what is going on. It has been knocked about on the IRC channel several times and was discussed on the mailing list and in several meetings: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/MeetingNotes/20100707#MichealH - Update on Website https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/MeetingNotes/20100804#AlanBell [[Micheal_Harker|MichealH]]: update on Maverick installfests https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/MeetingNotes/20100819#theopensourcerer - review of action items from last meeting and as a result of these extensive discussions it evolved to the set of designs we ended up voting on, some with upper case UK (my favourites) and some with lower case uk (I can live with it). Some were drawn by me, some I tweaked based on suggestions received on the mailing list, some were drawn by other people, this was a totally open process. We had the vote, the preferred design direction was established and I have submitted it for trademark approval.

David D LoweI voted lower-case on purely typographical grounds. The upper-case U inthe 'ubuntu' font doesn't have the same shape as the lower-case u, so anupper-case UK looked disjoint next to the multiple, distinctive u's in 'ubuntu'.If 'ubuntu' in the logo was capitalized, or entirely upper-case, it would havebeen very different.I'd ordinarily go with an upper-case UK on technical grounds, but in a logothat's almost entirely typographical, type considerations are unavoidable.Your position is also entirely valid, I just thought I'd illustrate the other sideof the fence.Regards,Shaun-- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

There were 85 voters and the results in order of the options are: 1) 35 Bold UK scaled down to the height of the lower case ubuntu 2) 21 Bold UK with a circular hyphen 3) 10 Normal caps UK scaled down to lower case height, circle of friends between ubuntu and UK 4) 23 lower case uk 5) 25 lower case uk with short ascender on k 6) 40 lower case uk with ascender of k in line with b and t of ubuntu 7) 48 UK with Union Flag texture. The texture might be repositioned a bit if this is the winner, probably more like the current logo. 8) 58 full height k with hyphen 9) 20 full size caps UK in the Ubuntu font 10) 8 caps UK, but with the lower case u scaled up to the size of caps U. This might be redrawn a bit more precisely if it is the winner 11) 37 Waiting for the image on this one, the logo of #8 but with the round hyphen of #2 and the circle of friends a bit bigger so it lines up with the top of the k 12) 43 circle of friends between ubuntu and uk so in order of popularity that is: 8) 58 full height k with hyphen 7) 48 UK with Union Flag texture.

Colin -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ I have the same issue, both firefox and chrome display different fonts and the position of the ubuntu logo in top corner is among the uk text in firefox and extended far right in chrome. although the vote page is correct as its displaying the png version although linked to the svg version. So is the official winner actually http://pollka.libertus.co.uk/pics/thumbs/logo14.png ?

Colin sorry, that is the svg with the font name in it, I will do a version converted to paths so you don't need the font. It looks like http://pollka.libertus.co.uk/pics/thumbs/logo14.png the svg version is scalable, the .png is a bitmap.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Vote Results! SVG logo
here it is, as paths so should work for everyone http://people.ubuntu.com/~alanbell/uuk/uuklogopaths.svg http://people.ubuntu.com/%7Ealanbell/uuk/uuklogopaths.svg with the Circle of Friends the regulation distance from the text and with the serifs at the top of the b and k in the frame Alan. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Ulster is the old region of Ireland which contains all the counties of N Ireland but also others, like Donegal which remained part of Southern Ireland on Partition. I hope Wales will never separate from Ubuntu UK, but is probably needed to deal with special local issues like the language, Tony (member of Ubuntu UK and Ubuntu Wales) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
