Public bug reported: The visual metaphor for the current Ubiquity icon caused some confusion (e.g., see https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/03/ubuntu-installer-icon- strange). Also, IMO, the design with lots of small particles doesn't map well to the Yaru icon style, which requires an outline at smaller sizes. The upshot of this is that neither the idea nor the execution are universally popular.
Over on the Yaru side, we've just merged a new design into Master, which hopefully makes it clearer that the icon writes Ubuntu to hard disk: https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/pull/2340. This "bug" could be fixed by backporting the new icon to Focal Fossa before 20.04.02 - are we able to proceed? Thank you! EDIT: 1) Version of Ubuntu = 20.04 and 20.04.01 live disk 2) N/A 3) Expected a clear and well-executed icon for the installer when using the live disk 4) Got the current icon which (see above) is sub-optimal. ** Affects: yaru-theme (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: The visual metaphor for the current Ubiquity icon caused some confusion (e.g., see https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/03/ubuntu-installer-icon- strange).
