Spacing in that beta font version maybe isn't correct (and hinting certainly isn't). But it's perfectly usable to make rough design proposal of course. > I also used the official cmyk colours for this one.

I agree that the colours don't match too well, or it risks to make it look like a "colouring book" if orange or the dark purple colour are used too. > We have to keep it clean and simple.

I haven't changed my mind since then... Another option is to use a (dark) grey or maybe even black for the "be" part (IIRC that's what some other locoteams also do?). -- Jan Claeys -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:[email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
