If the podcast team have decided on a (quite frankly, awesome) design, then
would it not be a good idea to make the Ubuntu-UK website coherent with
that?
I mean, currently, the Podcast is run by members of the UK team, and is
featured prominently on the first page of the

Hi,
Of these I liked 1 best. I don't think you should use 'interesting' menus (3

1 is by far my favorite, then 6 and then 4.
I agree with the idea last night of a focus group though. It should mean
that potentail suggestions and design ideas will be a lot more organised.

The podcast team were sent a mockup for the podcast site by a listener
a while ago. In general we liked it, and the designer (without
prompting) went off and created an initial go at the html, css and so
on. I quite like it. He even redesigned our podcast logo, which is
pretty cool.
Hi Guys
Mockup 1 is in a different league to the rest. Far, far better.
I am inclined to agree that the London skyline does suggest big business,
because that kind of image has been used many times before to promote big
city corporations. The balance is to look professional, but without
