I'm actually not happy with the Aubergine in that context. But there are
enough things I have to try, still :)

Dots and the Band of Friends just don't seem to cooperate :/

It's kinda funny: On the one hand, we should stay away from those
elements of the new Ubuntu identity that are meant to express
commercial, as this project is clearly all on the community side.

On the other hand, we want to express some of the exact same things as
the commercial part of the Ubuntu message (competent, serious,
trustworthy ...).

There's still no SVG of the logo out there. Aside from that, I will not
combine our Biolinum font with the logo-type, at least not on a single
line. It would not work for "ubuntu" being lowercase alone.

Thank you!
