[Touch-packages] [Bug 1367696] Re: spinning Ubuntu logo on update boot feels frantic and not very classy
Actually, those don't cover all the issues. One issue is the consistency (or intentional inconsistency) of the activity notification. The other issue is the use of a spinning logo at all (regardless of size and speed). I believe the spinning logo is overly simplistic, not very classy and doesn't live up to the standard of design elsewhere in the product. I think we can do better than that (and have done so in the desktop start up/shut down images as an example). Un-duped, and original description edited to reflect the design question rather than the implementation of size/speed. ** Description changed: - There is a large spinning Ubuntu logo during updates and a small spinning Ubuntu logo during the boot process. I think there are two problems with this: - - whatever the progress indicator is should be consistent (not one large and one small), - - more importantly, this progress indicator feels frantic, cheap and off brand to me. The desktop has the word Ubuntu with dots which change colour to indicate progress. That feels classier to me. Is there a specific reason we have diverged from an existing (and excellent) solution?
