Oh, I definitely did not create this. It is an official canonical mockup made before oneiric (hence the old icons) as a target for the release. You can find it here on sabdfl's blog: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/717. It is also shown in the design draft for 12.04 settings: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ILTJDiDCd25Npt2AmgzF8aOnZZECxTfM0hvsbWT2BxA/edit?hl=en_US. I really like it and would love for it to implemented in 12.04. Looks alot better imo.

The current BFB (Dash Home Button) does not match the original reference design. I know this isn't anything major, however it looks much more visually slick/professional and shouldn't be hard to implement. What do you think?

Dave,

For the comparison images, it appears that the new "Ubuntu BFB Button" image was a Natty clone. The old Ubuntu Software Centre icon is visible, which gives away that this was from Natty. But how did you do that? Did you use the GIMP? I can never figure out how real some mockups like yours looks. By the way, I do like your new BFB button mockup. It looks more professional and just better all around than Oneiric's. Thanks!
