new visual identity in lucid

 

*I just red on slashdot today:
"Canonical has launched a new visual
identity<http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/03/ubuntu-dumps-the-brown-introduces-new-theme.ars>for
the Ubuntu Linux distribution. Ubuntu is shedding its previous brown
look and adopting a more professional color scheme with purple and orange.
The colors will be used in a new GNOME theme and boot splash for Ubuntu
10.04. According to updated design documents that were
published<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brand>in the Ubuntu wiki, 'light' is
the underlying concept behind the new visual
identity. It displaces the 'human' concept that has been part of Ubuntu's
theming and brand vernacular for the past five years. Ubuntu community
manager Jono Bacon has posted a
screenshot<http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/03/03/refreshing-the-ubuntu-brand/>and
additional information."

Question: is it a goal to have all *buntu variants use the same character
set or to have common/similar look? Just wondering if the lubuntu splash and
other logos have to be changed? (saw the xubuntu as sample on the site
that's why I raised the question)

Thanks
Zoltan
