I searched but couldn't find any that fitted my needs [07:02] gouki: There are svg versions there -- just pull the svg component out. [07:02] wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork [07:02] should be a good starting point [07:02] iirc its under 'official' [07:03] troy_s, ok. I'm gonna give it a try. Not too good at these things, though :) [07:06] I just made the logo. Selection editor from Gimp is fun :) [07:10] gouki: Inkscape is far superior for that sort of thing. [07:11] troy_s, I've been told the same thing. I'll look into it the next time I need to do something like these (I hope I don't have to in a long time) [07:12] gouki: You might want to enlist the help of others if it isn't your cup of tea. [07:12] gouki: There are quite a few willing and capable people out there generally. [07:13] troy_s, I've been searching for help for a long time. Posts fetched by Planet Ubuntu and IRC channels. No luck so far. I'll try and do it myself :) [07:13] gouki: Well what are you trying to do? [07:14] gouki: I have a very few short minutes here... I could probably do it for you rather quickly. [07:14] troy_s, first I wanted help for UbuntuWeblogs.org - I was able to do all I needed by myself [07:15] I'm now working on UbuntuBackstage.org - I only needed to change the color scheme (Drupal has a nice interface for that) and create a logo [07:15] Since I didn't find anyone to do it, I'm going with the Ubuntu logo [07:15] For the logo (which is the only thing I need now) I wanted to have one of those old microphones (used on interviews) on top of the Ubuntu logo [07:16] gouki: Unfortunately, for something that simple, your probably best to simply use the ubuntu pill. [07:16] gouki: And unfortunately there is no official palette, so you are left with guessy crap to get colours in the range. [07:17] troy_s, yeah! :( I tried doing by guess (didn't come out very good though) [07:17] Ubuntu pill?! [07:17] gouki: The 'lozenge' [07:17] troy_s, ohh, yeah. That's what I did (I'm uploading now) [07:17] gouki: If you want two simple things, _only_ use the ubuntu font on the word 'ubuntu' -- it is completely godawful ugly for anything else. [07:18] troy_s, some people use it for their whole desktop (menus, etc) [07:18] I searched for the Ubuntu font, but I read on several weblog posts that there wasn't one :| [07:18] BHSPitMonkey: There is no accounting for lack of ability to see poor fonts. [07:18] gouki, it's called continuum, and you can download it from the official artwork I believe. [07:18] That's why I used the one below the word 'ubuntu' on UbuntuWeblogs.org [07:19] no [07:19] it is called ubuntu-title-font iirc [07:19] sorry [07:19] or "Continuum" [07:19] ttf-ubuntu-title [07:19] sudo aptitude install ttf-ubuntu-title [07:20] it is really just an implementation of another pre-existing font, minus the proper typespace etc. [07:21] LOL [07:21] http://blog.eachday.com/2007/8/1/bubble-logo-insanity [07:21] troy_s, can you change the image located on UbuntuWeblogs.org? [07:21] whats worse, some people have managed to make speech bubbles with that horribly dated reflection shiny glossy shit in it. [07:21] gouki: I could if you want me to, [07:21] gouki: To what? [07:21] troy_s, RE: the official palette, is the Ubuntu Palette you can download on Artwork/Official not official? [07:22] troy_s, the logo now has 'Planet Ubuntu Users' written on some font I can't remember. I wanted to change that and write it with the official font [07:22] BHSPitMonkey: Well there _is_ a palette used in the logo -- but that isn't a palette. [07:22] BHSPitMonkey: The design palette is non-existent [07:23] troy_s, the original image: http://www.ubuntu.com/htdocs/ubuntuwebsite/img/u-headerlogo.png (without the Planet Ubuntu Users text) [07:28] gouki: hrm... hard for me to fake that [07:28] gouki: bar pill... [07:28] gouki: I can easily do something close, but you might need to adjust the header for the portion that doesn't have the logo [07:29] troy_s, I just want to add the text 'Planet Ubuntu Users' below 'UBUNTU' - Just like it is now, but with the official font [07:29] gouki: Again, I would advise against using the official font in that capacity, but if you want that, it is pretty simple. [07:29] gouki: The main problem is that the 'ubuntu' should migrate up if you want text below it. [07:29] gouki: Let me show you a sample. [07:37] gouki: Can you dcc get? [07:37] troy_s, sure! :) === PWill [n=paul@unaffiliated/pwill] has joined #ubuntu-artwork [07:38] gouki: The colour isn't probably spot on -- I used a sample colour pick from that blob. [07:39] troy_s, it looks pretty good! :) [07:39] gouki: That is what I meant by not using that nasty font on the text bits. [07:39] gouki: Anyways, if you want something like that, you just need to give me your banner requirements. [07:39] gouki: Obviously the 'text' portion is a left set chunk, the rest is a repeat? [07:40] troy_s, yeah. Exactly [07:41] gouki: Give me a second [07:41] gouki: You have the dimensions you want? [07:41] gouki: As in height? [07:42] troy_s, :| No. Sorry to tell you, but, it's up to you :) [07:42] gouki: I'll just use the same one. Hold tight a few. [07:42] troy_s, sure! :) Thanks [07:59] gouki: I'll give you a high resolution version and you can scale it. [08:00] troy_s, I think it's better if you give me the image with the correct resolution so I just replace it with the current one :) [08:00] ok [08:00] I may screw things up! Heheh [08:03] gouki: How big is the tile piece? [08:04] troy_s, tile piece!? :| [08:04] gouki: The part that carries on where there is no logo (repeated?) [08:04] gouki: That completes the banner. [08:04] troy_s, ohhh. Just a second. [08:05] troy_s, 10x90: http://www.ubuntu.com/htdocs/ubuntuwebsite/img/u-header.png [08:09] gouki: Ok try these two [08:09] troy_s, I'll give it a try [08:09] gouki: Not ideal, but a close variant on the pre-existing style. [08:10] gouki: They should be more or less plug and play [08:13] troy_s, howww! I replaced the image but it doesn't show up! :| [08:15] gouki: You will need to make sure that the two images I gave you match the image titles of the existing code set. [08:15] troy_s, they do. I just checked the .CSS [08:15] gouki: as in u-headerlogo.png and u-header.png [08:16] Yeah. Just checked and everything matches! :| [08:16] i don't know what to say, something is incorrectly named. [08:16] show me the images on the server in single form [08:16] as in the full uri's [08:17] gouki: Can you do that? [08:18] troy_s, it's permissions problems. Fixing it now :) [08:18] yeah that's the other thing I was going to suggest [08:18] lol [08:18] They were 600 and need to be 664 [08:19] as the page now stands, i also get "framebuster is not defined [08:19] http://ubuntuweblogs.org/ [08:19] Line 1" from firebug [08:20] Check it now [08:21] gouki: It works, but firefub still trips [08:21] Does FireBug have anything to say!? I have this love/hate relationship with him :P [08:21] framebuster is not defined [08:21] http://ubuntuweblogs.org/ [08:21] Line 1 [08:21] Framebuster? [08:21] [08:21] line nineteen of the skript [08:22] line 3 of the html? [08:23] I have no idea! :| [08:24] Ohhh! Think I found it. [08:24] Does he still complain? [08:26] troy_s, he probably does. I changed index.html.tmpl and the python scripts only runs in 4 minutes to generate the new index.html [08:27] I'm launching the script manually to see if it fixes the 'framebuster' error [08:27] New index.html generated... [08:28] gouki: I'll refresh [08:28] gouki: Firebug likes you again. [08:28] troy_s, LOL [08:29] gouki: Again, that implementation I gave you is far from optimal -- the composition of the banner the way it ends up in a web page is rather far off left. [08:29] gouki: But It works. [08:29] troy_s, yeah. And it actually looks good :) [08:30] gouki: Anyways, if you have any needs, drop me an email and I'll try to pinch them out when I am doing my other routine bits. [08:31] troy_s, thank you very much! :) [08:31] gouki: No problem. Just drop me an email. [08:31] gouki: And loosely restate that I bumped into you on IRC so that my old greymatter doesn't pull a 'wtf' [08:32] troy_s, sure thing. Just got it from your profile on Launchpad. Heheh!
