Re: [Artwork] Logo redesign

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next
Yup, the header, because of the colour and shape of the icons, since the concept features the same colour tone. There should be a clear distinction.

Are you refering to the header? (Home, Download, Join, etc.) If so, that's no problem at all. Ali (from his experience in Lubuntu) made the header into a separate page and every page inherits the header itself from that page. We modify the header [1] and every page is changed automatically.
I personally think the problem would only be the adoption of the logo by the users and bloggers (man, there are still websites that use the old Ubuntu logo [2] while making Ubuntu-related articles), but that's an issue we just can't avoid (in fact this even happens with big corporations, so not big deal). 

Thanks for the feedback, Patrik.

    It's really unique. What I see as a potentially minor issue is the
    blending on various pages like the Wiki page
    <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Artwork> with the topmost
    icons, but that I believe can be remedied.

            It does look nice. I think after a few tweaks, it'll look

                Hey guys,

                The logo redesign is something we have had in our
                basket of "/things to do in the future/" for a while.

                The design approach has been very difficult, as we
                have to come up with something that says reminds of
                GNOME but doesn't say literally "GNOME" (I assume you
                are all aware of the trademark problem we've been
                causing).

                The main problem here is that the GNOME foot is
                perfect, I really mean it. Any kind of
                anthropomorphic foot design looks just like a
                fan-made version of the GNOME logo. So, I thought
                *why an anthropomorphic foot? Let's play with the
                /gnome /metaphor.
                *
                I've tried several iterations of gnomes and beards
                and stuff; they looked horrible, hehehe. Eventually I
                said, what the hell, let's combine both ideas: a foot
                that uses a a beard-like shape as a the foot itself.
                *Please, have a kind look at this:*
                http://cl.ly/image/253V2f1r121s

                It's far from perfect, but I think it's a good start,
                as it has some good points:

                  * It's not a GNOME logo rip-off.
                  * It plays with the gnome idea.
                  * It looks like a paw, which is cool in the Ubuntu
                    world, as every cycle is represented with a new
                    animal.


                Please, let me know what you think guys.

                PS. /If everything goes according to the plan we will
                have: new logo, new website, and new ubiquity this
                cycle./

                Best regards,
                Alfredo.
