[ubuntu-mythtv] Mythbuntu Artwork subteam

[David Johnson]

Sorry for the duplicates, but I wasn't sure who all joined the list as of
yet.

Anyway, I made up an Ubuntu-style logo with the color wheel idea.  Obviously
we'd have to make it into the style you guys have for the usplash and such,
but this is just to demonstrate the idea.  My hope is you guys can do a bit
more with it.  I'm including copies with and without Riku's TV.

I really like the addition of the "powered by MythTV" bit on the desktop.
If anything, I'd say it should be 2x as big.

Cheers,
David
