Re: artwork
Hi guys
I'm not yet clued up with Gimp and other graphics tools on Linux, but
I'll try making a revision later. I like the idea. Here a description
of my variant and why....
Starting with the original Ubuntu log, keeping the main circular parts
and the "heads" (small circles). Then add the "bricks" (rectangles from
your idea) and put it in between the gaps of the circular parts.
It then resembles three people passing bricks to one another... building
to gether, hence working on the community effort theme of Ubunty.
I also like the "troth" (triangle) in the middle.
It's a small change and slightly more complicated logo, but I like the
message it portrays.
Regards
Charl

well, actually i didn't think much about the turn. it's a very rough
sketch. but i think our logo should resemble ubuntu's one (like
edubuntu's or ubuntu studio's). i've attached an improved variant (i
added some color just to better distinguish different parts of the
logo). what about "Letting the circular parts touch the blocks" - you
may think of the circular parts as some glue (cement maybe). my idea was
to make a geometrically simple logo so i didn't add any gaps between the
circle parts and the blocks. feel free posting your own variants so that
we'll have more choice.
best regards,
jay
