Hi, in my opinion you should remove the mirrored circles ( the lower ones) on the front, as that makes it look too complicated. Furthermore Tux doesn't have to do anything with the Ubuntu brand, so I'd remove that, too. And, most important to me would it be to use the Ubuntu logo without the

Thanks for suggestions, but I think I will leave mirrored circles, cause without them, the front side looks quite lifeless, compared to back. And too simple, even for this kind of flat and sleek design. I'm still considering what to do with Tux. Maybe I'll leave it maybe I'm not... About the most

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 can't see the point of the little live cd label. I store mostly alternate CDs or 2-in-1 DVDs, so that label is simply not true for me. And its location also seems unnatural to me. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

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

2011/2/16 Pumpkin Lord eldis.des...@gmail.com About placement, it is placed exactly on the upper virtual edge, like side Ubuntu logo, and back tab. And on the right side, it is lined with main title tab edge too, so if someone have some suggestion where to place it, I'm open for it. To me

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

Subtle noise is over used IMO. And this is print design, so once it's printed it won't really add anything, it might even make it look like it's been printed badly. On 14/02/2011, at 1:07 PM, Alexander King wrote: maybe appy a subtle noise effect :) heaps of people use it, it makes it look
