-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Perhaps a few questions and you can evaluate it yourself:
1) Do you feel gloss is contemporary? Can you site any contemporary trend from a designer / art / photography magazine that would suggest that glossy / shiny is heading back into mainstream? Are there perhaps other styles that might be not only more fresh but more evocative of a potential Ubuntu 'identity'? 2) Does green feel close to Ubuntu's lineage considering its brown hues of past? 3) Does grass seem distinctive and innovative considering the operating system landscape? Leopard pre-releases and Vista have both featured grass wallpapers. Is duplication and imitation something that you wish Ubuntu to forward as a trend? 4) Ubuntu has strict rules regarding the presentation of its official logo. Were you aware that there are rules governing the colours laid out in the official logo? Do you think that Mark Shuttlworth would be willing to stray from the default logo colours presented in the past three to four years? Do you think it would be wise for a company such as Coca-Cola to stray from their brand logo of red and white? Pepsi to stray from their brand logo of blue, white, and red? 5) On a technological note, is the mock you presented viable? Does translucency currently exist as you have it presented? Is the visual styling of the menu etc. currently attainable with the codebase? 6) Having considered the audience you are designing this for, do you believe it helps to create an emotional attachment to the Ubuntu identity? Does it have a clear voice or tepid delivery? Does it have enough body to create a full fledged motif from for marketing and further material? Is the palette rounded out enough to support such a presentation? Hope these questions help to illuminate possible future direction.
