Hi, everyone and Vishnoo
First of all, I apologize for not participating so actively in this discussion. Not only because my English is not good enough to develop full arguments, but mainly because I've had a season with many shows (I am also a musician in a blues band). Back to the question of the logo, here in Brazil, in November, I proposed the same issue for debate. I believe that our artwork team (as well the other teams) do not exactly need a logo, but a generic pictogram that is capable of representing the idea of community in which we could insert a picture to distinguish the teams. So far, we are inclined to abandon the logo idea (that I posted here before), in favor of some kind of stylized speech bubble as the base pictogram. We are still studying alternatives, but you can see how far we come, here: http://wiki.ubuntu-br.org/BlauAraujo/Artwork (the text is in portuguese, but you can jump to the pics, which are self explanatory). Now, even being a discussion of the Brazilian team, I do not discard these ideas as a submission to this team. In a sense, a universalized system of pictograms can be very useful since it gives a visual unity to all community environments, despite language, that Ubuntu users have access. That's it! Sorry Google translator, please. :) Blau On Fri, 03 Dec 2010 16:44:21 +0530 Vishnoo <v...@ubuntu.com> wrote: > On Fri, 2010-12-03 at 10:07 +0000, Ivanka Majic wrote: > > There is something about this one that I like: > > http://www.flickr.com/photos/55752...@n05/5166498982/in/pool-1507...@n25/ > > but fear that a compass is an outdated idea.
