Hi!

Input from Vish (including a "computer" icon) and the new visual
identity of Ubuntu led to a row of test PDFs:

The Orange and Aubergine might have to change slightly, once there are
official values.

As Vish pointed out, having a first look at these, using much or any
Aubergine is problematic, as Mark Shuttleworth stated:
"The use of Aubergine indicates Commercial involvement of one form or
another, while Orange is a signal of community engagement."

But recalling
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual/Artwork#Tone%20and%20Message
huge amounts of Orange just appear too aggressive, while Aubergine hits
the tone rather well. It's far from the only option, if we don't tie us
to the official artwork that closely.

Giving feedback, please try to describe what you see, what works or
doesn't work for you and why you think either is the case.
