Re: [ubuntu-art] Artwork Team Logo - Submissions due today!
Hi, everyone and Vishnoo First of all, I apologize for not participating so actively in this discussion. Not only because my English is not good enough to develop full arguments, but mainly because I've had a season with many shows (I am also a musician in a blues band). Back to the question of the logo, here in Brazil, in November, I proposed the same issue for debate. I believe that our artwork team (as well the other teams) do not exactly need a logo, but a generic pictogram that is capable of representing the idea of community in which we could insert a picture to distinguish the teams. So far, we are inclined to abandon the logo idea (that I posted here before), in favor of some kind of stylized speech bubble as the base pictogram. We are still studying alternatives, but you can see how far we come, here: http://wiki.ubuntu-br.org/BlauAraujo/Artwork (the text is in portuguese, but you can jump to the pics, which are self explanatory). Now, even being a discussion of the Brazilian team, I do not discard these ideas as a submission to this team. In a sense, a universalized system of pictograms can be very useful since it gives a visual unity to all community environments, despite language, that Ubuntu users have access. That's it! Sorry Google translator, please. :) Blau On Fri, 03 Dec 2010 16:44:21 +0530 Vishnoo v...@ubuntu.com wrote: On Fri, 2010-12-03 at 10:07 +, Ivanka Majic wrote: There is something about this one that I like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/55752...@n05/5166498982/in/pool-1507...@n25/ but fear that a compass is an outdated idea.

The type and symbol layout is a secondary concern, that can be dealt with after choosing a symbol. The paint brush on the 3/4 symbol needs an outline to separate it from the palette. As is, both build a single, confusing shape. Aside of that, it's a decent concept. Fastest way to get that outline is to duplicate the brush shape, give it an orange stroke, place it below the first brush and adjust the stroke width until it looks right. As a last step, if everything else has been tweaked, you can convert the outline path to a shape and subtract it from the palette shape. I wonder if we can find a symbol that has more to do with the design aspect, the planned and constructed approach. -- 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

I was not aware of foopics.com but I uploaded an image to test the process and I support the tool as it is very easy to use. My Test Image (Wallpaper): http://www.foopics.com/show/eb075ab70e77d410493634f856206380 If anyone has an opinion why re-branding this team is a bad idea I would really like to hear it. At the very least we need to come into alignment with the new Ubuntu branding standards. Otherwise, let's post some ideas to foopics and talk about it here.

[ubuntu-art] Artwork Team Logo
Hello Everyone, I would like to see an updated Artwork Team logo for the Wiki that could also serve as a badge on other sites (launchpad?). https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork I suggest the image embrace the possibility this team will support Ubuntu and the broader ecosystem. I blogged on this topic here: http://www.projblog.com/?p=1803 I suggest we start with a Wiki page to capture submissions and provide guidance to the effort. Thorsten, will you create a page for this purpose? We also need to put some structure around this effort (size, file type, colors, etc). This could become a part of the guidance displayed on the page. Perhaps the Count Down Wiki page can serve as a template or the Ubuntu branding guidelines can help. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/MaverickCountdownBanner http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/ I know we have the talent, so don't be shy. If you are new to the list here's a chance to make a difference! For the moment let's not get consumed on how we will decide on the final candidate. We can work that process on a separate thread. UDS is 10/25-29 - it would be great to have something to show by then. Thoughts?
