A very 'moving' possibility: starting from a video type of idea (mentioned elsewhere in this thread), I wondered whether the Ubuntu hands holding picture format could be capitalised upon for a *multitude* of people - faces superimposed - in sequence and sequenced as a sort of simple animation. If faces were sent in a sort of standard format and size, they could be superimposed onto the hand holding picture in position for a brief time (1/2 second?) and sequenced around the circle once before taking their place in the (very very very long) queue of pictures - ther eare a lot of ubuntu users! This publicity web site picture would be in effect a pseudo animated picture. Each owner of a face (users) would be pleased to see themselves appear, but we would all have to wait a long time to see a particular face - the idea being we are legion! Human and humanity appears because faces will be international global. And the picture is strongly associated with Ubuntu. The more I think about this the more I like it. Each user only has to send a face photo. Central software with the hand holding picture (or similar) is organised and publicised, and the faces 'queue' is centrally held and managed. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
