I asked around on IRC a bit and mockup6yq9.png seems to stand out, 
people don't like the central search bar so much... I noticed that it's 
more logical to have the search bar before the "advanced search link", 
so I re-arranged that quickly.

So this is where I currently lie:

Another point is the logo question... I just used the one you can see, 
but meisok did a lot more proposals: 
<http://dicidailleurs.houbsi.org/uploads/file/su-pre.png> and 
<http://dicidailleurs.houbsi.org/uploads/file/SU-pre_2.png>

Concerning the writing, I'd keep it simple, using the classic ubuntu 
font, black or brown-ish... For the logo itself, I'm not so fond of the 
three layer version, like most of SU-pre_2.png, they look a little too 
odd I think... but I like the idea of having a world in the middle as 
well as the concept of ubuntu spreading out to other ubuntus... so my 
favorite is probably the one with the three classic logos around one big 
logo on SU-pre_2.png. It just needs some ajusting so that the little 
ubuntu logos fit nicely into the notches of the bigger central one.
Also, don't hesitate to give your point-of-view on this.
