| thorwil | julian: good morning! i have to talk with you about the countdown banner. have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/JauntyCountdownBanners#White, please | 09:15 |
|---|---|---|
| julian | thorwil, hi there! how are you? | 09:34 |
| thorwil | julian: i'm fine except for being very unhappy with the white text | 09:35 |
| julian | unhappy? | 09:35 |
| thorwil | julian: i hope that you see that it rips the design apart | 09:36 |
| julian | not at all :-). it's right on brand | 09:36 |
| julian | i'd keep the 9.04 in orange thoug | 09:36 |
| julian | though | 09:36 |
| julian | this way, it matches the new cd artwork perfectly | 09:36 |
| julian | i love your design | 09:37 |
| thorwil | it might match the cd art, but it is very unharmonious inside my design :( | 09:37 |
| julian | how about you change the 9.04 back to orange and see how you feel then... | 09:38 |
| thorwil | julian: if you want that sort of consistency, you should offer a guideline at the start of the countdown call for entries. or you have to doit internally | 09:38 |
| julian | we will in the future - we're currently working on brand guidelines as we speak as we havent had any up until now | 09:39 |
| thorwil | i'm pretty sure making the 9.04 orange will only introduce even more unrest | 09:40 |
| thorwil | julian: if you insist on white, i will have to try to adapt the colors of the rendering. as it is on the wiki, i can't stand with my name for it | 09:42 |
| thorwil | colored logo and white text work very well with the background, i have to admit. but i miss the connection to the rendered text | 09:45 |
| julian | i think you're being hard on yourself. your design is really good. it's classy. introducing the white makes is right on brand which only enhances it | 09:46 |
| julian | this isnt a personal thing - its a keeping the brand consistent thing | 09:47 |
| julian | if we introduce an orange colour to the brand, its like were saying its ok for others to do this which dilutes the brand | 09:47 |
| thorwil | i do understand that point of view, but i think the logo and type are so strong shape-wise, that i wouldn't be so restrictive | 09:49 |
| thorwil | julian: ok, then. i will try to adjust the rendering. if that doesn't work, i'm ok with going with what i have now | 09:50 |
| julian | you should be proud of your work. i've noticed your other contributions since i arrived at canonical and we're delighted with what you do | 09:51 |
| thorwil | thanks! | 09:51 |
| julian | try making the 9.04 orange and see how you feel then... | 09:51 |
| thorwil | julian: to be sure: you mean the color of the left dot of the logo, righ? | 09:54 |
| thorwil | julian: can i have peek at the cd artwork? | 09:57 |
| julian | not quite - i mean on your 'white' proposal, keep the circle of friends brand as you have it... | 10:00 |
| julian | keep the 'ubuntu' in white as you have it... | 10:00 |
| julian | but change the '9.04' from white to orange. | 10:00 |
| julian | i cant release the artwork yet i'm afraid as it isnt fully signed off yet :-( | 10:01 |
| thorwil | julian: what i meant: shall i use the orange from the left dot of the Circle-of-Friends for the 9.04? or any orange i see fit? :) | 10:05 |
| julian | ah - sorry... | 10:06 |
| julian | yes - use the orange from the c-o-f dot | 10:06 |
| thorwil | ok | 10:07 |
| thorwil | puts a lot of emphasis on "ubuntu" between logo an 9.04 | 10:08 |
| thorwil | julian: mayne my last question for now ... what font and relative size are used for the 9.04 on the cd artwork? | 10:10 |
| julian | were keeping the font the same - no change. the 9.04 is the same size as the ubuntu label | 10:27 |
| thorwil | julian: besides the obvious need for color correction, how do you feel about http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/485382/1_desktop_test.png ? | 17:09 |
| thorwil | damn | 17:11 |
