I think there are one or two problems with 'medicine mask' that strike me first of all. One is the format. The width/height ratio makes it too incongruous with the name to work in many applications. The other is the African implications. Ubuntu is African by name not usage. When I'm using Ubuntu there is nothing African about it. The term is African, yes, but thats where it ends. I certainly wouldnt push the African theme any more than just the root of the word. The original icon works as a derivative of an illustration of community, which is more what Ubuntu is about.

thanks a lot, andy!
as I've said before, its wonderful to have a proper "authority" now
for art-related causes, and not just have lots of "little guys" asking
the same question on the forums... the "authortiy" has enough weight
to put behind a query like this, and may therefore get an answer,
while us little people dont!
and I'll get to updating my medicine mask:D
have you seen the wiki?
