I did a mockup. No colors or photos yet. Here it is: http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/8274/ubuntuwallmockup0qz.png The white text are explanations, the black text should come in the wallpaper (don't really think it's a good idea, but it's already there). Oh, about the 'isotype' thing, that's because in design school we were taught 'logotipo' (logotype in spanish) was the "text" part (like the ubuntu title text), and 'isotipo' (that I tought was 'isotype') was the graphical part (like the ubuntu three-people device). It's just a word to make the difference, I think. Thanks for answering, Paul :D
