Everyone who wants to participate can put PNG files up on http://www.foopics.com/ and post a link to the uploaded image here (replying to this mail). Tools ===== Start with pen or pencil on paper, don't hesitate to present rough sketches. Once you go to the computer, Inkscape is the preferred tool. In any case, we will need an SVG file as final result. Goals ===== Focus on an idea/concept for a symbol, first. Ignore type, as we will just set "Artwork Team" using the new Ubuntu font. Primary goal is to express that this is about artwork/creativity. Secondary that it is related to Ubuntu and derivatives (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Lubuntu, ...). One way to express the relation to Ubuntu is to pick up the basic geometry of the Circle of Friends logo. But don't just modify it, rather play with the circle divided by three or equilateral triangle concept. Style ===== Looking at the visual identity of Ubuntu as executed on http://www.ubuntu.com/ we should prefer filled shapes and a 2-tone approach (orange/white). However, we could consider another color than orange and/or an extended palette (3 or 4 colors) for our own sub-identity. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
