I discussed these icons with Sam yesterday. While a shopping bag is the existing metaphor for USC, it would not be appropriate for Software Sources or Software Updater. The latter two have very little to do with shopping. And while it would be good for the icons to look like a family of three, tha

[Bug 510212] Re: update-manager: no branding. Is it legit?

I think in the past Ubuntu has generally tried to "debrand" software because it can also used across Debian, other distributions and other derivatives (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, ...). Things like the Ubuntu Software Centre are starting to get branded to help enforce to the user that they are official, and

The problem (as reported) seems to be that it pops up without warning, but doesn't identify itself as a part of the Ubuntu system. To anyone who's used to annoying or harmful Windows or Web pop-ups, it looks like another one of those, trying to scam the user into something. "Upgrade the system fo

[Bug 510212] Re: update-manager: no branding. Is it legit?

One problem I see of using an Ubuntu-branded icon instead of the usual brown box is that it uses the "update-manager" icon in the gtk icon cache. So, depending on what icon theme a user uses (eg, the Ubuntu default or Faenza or whatever), the image on the main window will change. The only way to

This would be even better if it said something like "Ubuntu Software Updater". Changing the name to include the brand would insure it's legitimate even before we look at the logo. -- update-manager: no branding. Is it legit? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510212 You received this bug notificat

[Bug 510212] Re: update-manager: no branding. Is it legit?

I believe this to be paper-cut worthy, as a simple branding could be just applying an obviously Ubuntu type icon for the application, or adding a "What's this?" button somewhere in the application. The "What's this?" button could direct to either a webpage or some installed help explaining about t

[Bug 510212] Re: update-manager: no branding. Is it legit?

No no, that's missing the point. *I* know it's legit. But it needs some extra branding so as to be more transparent for folks who aren't as "in the know." Asking folks to change the updates setting is not reasonable. The bothering isn't the point. Branding is the issue. It's the look and feel

Yes, the update-manager software is legit. Update manager has nothing to do with viruses or anything, it just is a graphical application for Ubuntu's package manager.
