A bit of color depth is now added. So it's a bit darker overall now. I
think it looks more dynamic now, compared to last one. And a little
bit of noise effect is now added for those who requested it. :) But
it's only temporary playing. I think I will remove it in final
version. :)
Here it is:
I waited for someone to notice that small live CD addon. Cause I'm
burning all Linux ISOs to DVDs too. So actually there is no big point
in that, except I wanted it to be more officialish, cause Ubuntu
ISOs are always a CD releases (except alternative DVD edition which is
very rarely used I
Thanks for suggestions.
I will play with things you suggested, to see how it's gonna turn out.
About this Live CD thing, maybe it is better to remove it completely.
Content area will look more coherent, that's for sure. Somehow, it's
leftover from some old buggy OSs, to have that little 32-bit
I've attached a comparison of your current linux word and the same word
with manual kerning, so you can decide for yourself if you need manual
kerning or not.
So I guess I will have to play with manual kerning then. At least with
those bigger fonts in titles. Thanks for suggestion. I never had
@Thorsten step by step in short.
- Setting ubuntu in bold is much more effective to me, and it looks
totally contrary from what you said, much more polisfed and
sensitive. Should I say that I played a lot with standard Ubuntu
font, and I wasn't satisfied at all, at least considering title font.
And to add that I checked your blog before. I respect your work
highly. Don't want to transform this topic into flaming war. :)
Keep up with great work, anyway.

@Thorsten - I didn't want to insult you, but I see that you feel that
way unfortunately. It was a bit of joke.
And yes, I would feel better, if there was some IMO, here nad there,
especially if someone is criticizing you in strictly negative way. But
ofcourse it's not an obligation. :) I see
@Thorsten and Angus - Sorry guys if that turned out like that, but it
wasn't meant to be any rude or arrogant. If that was the case, then I
wouldn't be trying to answer all aspects of Thorsten's mail step by
step. I would just paste that famous statement, it's just your
opinion, and that's it.
And if you'll feel better, I'm already fixing some things you
mentioned, about the font, and back bullet tips misplacing. ;)

Thanks Angus.
I'm currently fixing some small things so I expect you'll be around
here today to give me some feedback. :)

New fixes applied. Back info text is now nicely aligned and not
floating around. Some small changes on side tab are applied too.
Considering optical vs metric font kerning mantioned before, optical
didn't provide any notable improvements.
Here is the result:
I made some small modifications on my last addition. Some color
changes, and now with more pictogram-alike look. Maybe a bit more
official-ish feel...

Ofcourse you can suggest anything you like. That's why we're here, right. ;)
And now, did you mean something like this?

I must say that I also considered leaving only white overlays, like on
Ubuntu official CD sleeves, but I wanted
This is the best I managed to do with back info text. It's a bit hard
to make it look more coherent cause the right colon contains much more
text. And when I change the line spacing on left colon then it looks
more outplaced, than it's with normal formatting. So i added one line
in left colon, and
So I guess I should stick with this one for now. :)
This is what next full pack will contains after some useful suggestions here.
- Two versions of this universal cover in standard PNG, 32-bit and 64-bit.
- Two versions of CD/DVD labels also.
- One psd version of CD/DVD label, so that anyone can
Ok, here's the deal.
@Thirukumaran K - I'm not sure that some organic shapes would fit
nicely in a design of this kind, with minimalistic and /as sleek as it
could be/ approach. I was experimenting with a lot of patterns,
textures, and different shapes to fill the background with, but I
didn't
Haha, maybe I should put GNU/Linux based open source OS on that
sticker, to let Richard sleep nicely. :)

Ofcourse, I will keep developing Ubuntu DVD covers in the future, but
I just wanted to make something that will last for a longer time,
without having to change the DVD cover every six months. Why not
having one DVD cover, and just changing the DVD labels when new
version is out. :)

@Tulio - I have it in psd format only, cause I'm still using
Photoshop, and I will upload it on SpreadUbuntu so I will send you a
link.
@Angus - It is quite hard to achieve timeless design, that will look
fresh and actual, today, and after x years. That's why I said before
that if we're gonna
A lot of offtopic posts here... :) Someone said that at least colours
should be changed from release to release. I agree, but I'm more
familiar with idea to create a special, different cover, for each LTS
release, and to keep cover for rolling releases, with maybe just some
color palette
I just fnished a new cover package for Ubuntu. This time I made it
universal, without version numbers, in a purpose of a long time
packaging, with just changing the CDs/DVDs with actual release every 6
months.
Here is the preview:
