[Ubuntugnome-artwork] [Artwork] Ubuntu GNOME - the new logo by Patrik Bubak

[Xen]

Perhaps the most obvious choice is Gnome logo + Ubuntu colours.

You cannot use the Ubuntu roundel without transforming the entire logo  
into a combination, which Ubuntu does not allow. But if Gnome does not  
allow standalone use of the Gnome logo, yeah..

Personally I feel this new roundel is devoid of significance (the  
form). The colours are not Ubuntu and the logo is not Gnome. I like  
the colour but the logo is very clinical, it might be the logo of some  
medical technology supplier. I'm reminded of disinfection ;-).

Well good luck with it. I just feel Gnome is 90% of the identity of  
Ubuntu Gnome, there are not many distributions that focus on a single  
desktop exclusively, so Ubuntu is like the context (the  
environment/frame) while Gnome is the essence (or interior). Another  
logo for "gnome" is a 'thumb' or even a 'hat', a 'pipe', a  
'toadstool', a 'tree' as long as it's something organic or natural.  
Ubuntu Gnome - lots of little footprints together ;-).

Anyway, good luck with it.
