Nice designs.

I can't tell the difference between a and b but I like them: they are
simple and clean and the circle of friends pattern at the bottom says
"Ubuntu" to me.

c is a bit top heavy, with this big blob of colour on top and a large
empty space below.

d is OK but the white text on light orange background at the bottom is
difficult to read.

f, g and h feel a bit boring: even though the design is shifted to the
right, all elements in the block are centred; and the dots don't have
any obvious meaning, apart from filling empty space (and possibly making
you feel that it's a big heavy manual that you don't want to read).

Generally speaking, I prefer the flush left design of a and b to the
centred design of the others. I also feel that in c, d, e and f, the
logo is a little too large compared to the rest of the design.

But all of this is subjective, they are all good designs.

Bruno
