Even if these designs are never used, you are showing that open source
software can be used to make very professional-quality artwork.
Thanks. Yeah, I used to work in Freehand a few years ago and that was an
awesome application, but inkscape is now equally powerful imho.
Actually, there is a

Hello out there,
For some reason I found myself designing symbols to express the ideas in

Great work! Looks really nice.
I have never seen apport (besides some screenshots) and I use Kubuntu, so I

The bug icons are very cute and very well done. However, before they are
used to represent the concept bug-report I would like to argue that
the images map to the concept through the polysemy of the word bug in
English (insect and defect in a program), and so they won't work

Hi,
Thanks for your great feedback.
I've tried the icon on my boyfriend, and he was totally clueless; he
offered possibilities such as notepad, or drawing, but he did not
guess what the bug meant in the first place. It is not a statistically
meaningful experiment, but he's an architect used to
I think that Nacho's put an important point. Here in Brazil the icons would
work well, because we don't translate a lot of the computer terms, for exemple
we say bug, and created the verb bugar, and I think that anyone who uses
computers knows at most a little of english (like me!). But I
Well, taking the comments so far I had time to try a new approach. This one is
very simple and does not rely on specialist words/memes.
I thought about error and bug and report and the one word that stood out
was broken. From there I asked myself how would I portray a broken
application; the
We could re-use the icon that's used for the Force Quit GNOME Panel
applet, the picture of a window with a big crack down it. I think that
signifies broken program as well as anything else could.

This is heading down the route
We really need to quit grasping and simply accept the fact
that the language barriers are symptomatic of the word
'universal' being completely a foolish puff of smoke
to even _attempt_ to pursue.
Aye. Agreed.

Have you a link for me? I have found the artwork links on the wiki to be

Well there aren't any ;).
Ah right, I walked into that one :)

In Unix, a traditional icon for a command
shell is ... a shell! Unfortunately, it reads as clam or snail in
other languages.
I always thought the literal shell image was corny, but visual puns are easy
to use and easy to learn -- as long as you speak the lingo...

Hi all,
Some of you may saw the new feisty artwork arriving. This artwork is not
stamped alpha. So, let's discuss about it :).
As of today, only usplash and gnome wallpaper has been updated.
First, i really like the new wallpaper. Even if i find it too pinky, i

In short, concepts are culturally based.
The idea of locale-based icons is great, but of course it would be a
