The logo is perfect for an audio/video distro. It includes the three people from the Ubuntu logo and an audio/video reel. It's an open circle, it isn't closed. The open part also shows something that could be interpreted as sound waves or as a symbol for the computer, a similarity to the IEEE 1394 interface logo. It also has similarities with a speaker, slipmat, record, CD, DVD, record player ... The colouration stands for technology, engineering. What's missing are hints to art, independence. If covers the technical aspect of music, but doesn't represent art, let alone photography and other arts, even while you could claim, that it has got similarities to a lenses, airbrush nozzle ... What I usually see in the logo is the same as Len does see. And I agree with Len's "under the hood" argument. If you are young and start your first band, you like to think about the band name without being able to perform a single song. A band without a name, but able to perform 15 good songs likely will become famous as "The band without name", while nobody will care about the band with the hip name, but without songs. IOW the logo is good, just not independent from Ubuntu. If you make a new distro (while Linux audio already sucks regarding too many audio distros ... please read the link on Robin's website ;) you anyway shouldn't care too much about the logo, just become the disro without a logo and without a name, known for what's under the hood. There are many examples, such as the famous "Silk Cut" https://s3-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http:%2F%2Fwww.independent.co.uk%2Fmigration_catalog%2Farticle5244553.ece%2Falternates%2Fw620%2FPg-10-saatchi-2.jpeg&sp=d9d07f4bdf4c76b0e8cbf320a87fc496 The brand has got a logo, but they advertised without and even without a health label in the 80s, so some people didn't know that it has to do with cigarettes, but those who were aware about it gave them self a pat on the back. Logo's and names are less important. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
