[17:38] <qense> hello
[17:40] <newz2000> hi qense
[17:41] <thorwil> hello qense, newz2000
[17:41] <newz2000> hey thorwil
[17:43] <newz2000> thorwil: I like the third get ubuntu banner personally
[17:43] <newz2000> mostly because it took me a moment to see what you were trying to do with the spiral
[17:44] <newz2000> once I "got it" I liked 1 best but during that delay it was a bit disturbing. :-)
[17:44] <thorwil> newz2000: oohm, what am i trying to do with the spiral? :)
[17:45] <newz2000> make the logo look like a ram's head and the spiral is the horns
[17:45] <newz2000> arent you?
[17:45] <thorwil> not quite
[17:46] <thorwil> the logo is just the base of the horn
[17:47] <thorwil> yeah, number 1 surely has a "what's going on here" quality
[17:47] <newz2000> I guess, after looking at it a moment more, I do have a criticism or suggestion...
[17:48] <newz2000> the button calls people to action but I think it needs something that looks clickable
[17:48] <newz2000> either underlined text like a hyperlink or a button
[17:48] <newz2000> I had this problem with the download page. The green button didn't look clickable enough so people scrolled up and down looking for a button or link to click.
[17:49] <thorwil> i see. i was only concerned about continuing the series ...
[17:52] <thorwil> newz2000: btw, Arial is not just a knock-off of Helvetica, but one that is somewhat optimized to look good on screen. it is said to be of lesser quality than Helvetica specifically when printed
[17:56] <newz2000> that would explain why I liked arial better than helvetica, since I primarily use screen when viewing fonts.

[20:57] <newz2000> hi thorwil, I don't think that makes it more clear
[20:57] <newz2000> How about just removing the word get and making Ubuntu 8.10 look nice and pretty, then below that put (looking like a link) "get it now"
[20:58] <thorwil> newz2000: i don't think that will make a difference
[20:59] <newz2000> give me just a min to finish merging my code, having trouble doing two things at once
[21:03] <newz2000> thorwil: do you feel like the GET part causes the image to look clickable?
[21:04] <thorwil> newz2000: at least as clickable as dozens of other banners that seem to work
[21:06]  * nand likes 2A/C
[21:07] <thorwil> newz2000: well, guess i will have another look at it myself, tomorrow with fresh eyes
[21:07] <newz2000> ok
[21:12] <thorwil> good night!
