It seems that we have a palette here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=ubuntu-palette.png
BTW, where can I find informations on who's doing what, the state-of-the-artand plans for the next release? Thanks a lot, Gianluca 2006/11/23, Troy James Sobotka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I would suggest that it is indeed an important and vital discussion to have. Currently, however, I don't believe that Ubuntu's design capacity is able to integrate the level of detail you are referring. I could very well be incorrect, but remember, we don't even have an official palette yet, a set of design motifs, etc. I would not for a minute suggest that anything is a lost battle before one attempts it. In fact, last cycle, the emblems were changed based on a single email. That said, what sabdfl would consider acceptable is subject to his personal approval. With the amount of effort involved, I might suggest waiting until sabdfl delivers Cliff's work for Feisty. > > > Colors > The palette has never been used to the best of my > knowledge.

The palette one key foundational elements to building solid design. Clear style guidelines regarding linework, color value, and such details are mandatory to achieve any degree of successful design. Unfortunately, Ubuntu's design thus far has been a complete reverse of this traditional approach. Perhaps at some point someone might be able to reverse engineer the design and create such documents -- despite being a rather backwards approach to design. > Yep, it helped.

Not exactly, but we as a team need to make certain that new faces can join in and get 'up to speed' via our paper trail of documentation. If you have noticed an area that is weak, please attempt and address it through the documentation at the wiki -- it will help future participants.
