Hi,
in my opinion you should remove the mirrored circles ( the lower ones)
on the front, as that makes it look too complicated. Furthermore Tux
doesn't have to do anything with the Ubuntu brand, so I'd remove that, too.
And, most important to me would it be to use the Ubuntu logo without the
Thanks for suggestions, but I think I will leave mirrored circles,
cause without them, the front side looks quite lifeless, compared to
back. And too simple, even for this kind of flat and sleek design. I'm
still considering what to do with Tux. Maybe I'll leave it maybe I'm
not...
About the most
Tux and ubuntu logo now have the same color technically, but not visually.
Ubuntu logo is larger and is surrounded by darker background, so it looks
lighter than Tux. Still inconsistent :)
Ubuntu and GNOME logos on the side also have different shades of aubergine,
it also looks inconsistent. One

Heh... A lot of dislikes this time. It turned out that I'm going backwards.
No, you are not. You are moving forward. I just can't notice or enumerate
all glitches at once just looking at an in-progress version. For all
previous versions I thought OK,
Things you mentioned are fixed now, if this could be called fixing.
I tend to call it that way since I mess with code more. I know design basics
(revising them right now actually) and that's all, I don't belong to the
design culture.
I played with Tux color, and I think it looks more slick
Check your inbox.
I don't know, cutout on the side icons seems to be only alternative to
current shade. And I played with Tux placement already, for the sake
of balancing white area of the pictogram like you said, but to me it
doesn't look that nice, when it's not placed perfectly in the center
A bit of color depth is now added. So it's a bit darker overall now. I
think it looks more dynamic now, compared to last one. And a little
bit of noise effect is now added for those who requested it. :) But
it's only temporary playing. I think I will remove it in final
version. :)
Here it is:
I can't see the point of the little live cd label. I store mostly
alternate CDs or 2-in-1 DVDs, so that label is simply not true for me. And
its location also seems unnatural to me.

About placement, it is placed exactly on the upper virtual edge, like
side Ubuntu logo, and back tab. And on the right side, it is lined
with main title tab edge too, so if someone have some suggestion where
to place it, I'm open for it. To me
Thanks for suggestions.
I will play with things you suggested, to see how it's gonna turn out.
About this Live CD thing, maybe it is better to remove it completely.

I've attached a comparison of your current linux word and the same word
with manual kerning, so you can decide for yourself if you need manual
kerning or not.
So I guess I will have to play with manual kerning then. At least with
those bigger fonts in titles. Thanks for suggestion. I never had

have to do manual kerning. Users don't seem to care about it,

- Setting ubuntu in bold is much more effective to me, and it looks
totally contrary from what you said, much more polisfed and

The kerning is off. I think if you're using Photoshop, you can fix it by
changing the kerning from 'metrics' to 'optical' and that should fix it. :)

Yeah, after lining the two up, the orange adds a nice definition.

This is the best I managed to do with back info text. It's a bit hard

A lot of offtopic posts here... :) Someone said that at least colours
should be changed from release to release. I agree, but I'm more
familiar with idea to create a special, different cover, for each LTS
release, and to keep cover for rolling releases, with maybe just some
color palette
As I said. I use GIMP 90% of my time, but some specially things, maybe there

you are correct - it saves valuable time if the design is generic.but
what if some guy has two ubuntu CD/DVDs that are different verions (say

Hi,
The DVD cover looks great.I've one suggestion though, the many number of
rounded edged squares/rectangles in the cover(especially the front) makes it
kind of still /action less/boring??? can there be some flowing lines or
other shapes(Organic perhaps, not just the basic shapes)?
On Mon,
The tux logo seems completely irrelevant to me, and I'm not sure how relevant
the gnome one is, either. I would try using less effects (gradients, shadows,
etc.).
I think it should also be more visually relevant to the Ubuntu website.
Just some thoughts, great work, though.
On 07/02/2011, at
IMO the covers are very nice, but the previews look cluttered and scary.
It's hard to understand where is the cover and where is the info about it.
