| thorwil | good morning! | 07:45 |
|---|---|---|
| thorwil | anybody got links to the kubuntu, xubuntu and edubuntu logos at hand? | 08:48 |
| thorwil | got kubuntu and edubuntu via https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official | 08:52 |
| thorwil | except edubuntu has a new logo, too | 08:53 |
| thorwil | xubuntu down thanks to http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=3231 | 08:55 |
| thorwil | kwwii: the updated edubuntu logo uses the old CoF geometry. maybe your or a colleague should have a talk with them? :) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/Artwork/LucidBranding?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=edubuntu+_150.jpg | 09:03 |
| thorwil | good morning iainfarrell, vish | 09:18 |
| vish | thorwil: morning :) | 09:19 |
| iainfarrell | morning thorwil and vish | 09:19 |
| knome | hey iainfarrell, thorwil, vish | 09:20 |
| thorwil | knome: hi! why is there a complete mouse in the new xubuntu logo svg, instead of just the part in the circle? | 09:22 |
| vish | thorwil , the logo updater! | 09:23 |
| vish | :D | 09:23 |
| thorwil | vish: i'm ... troubled by this comment: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2010/08/02/full-circle-magazine-logo/#comment-3155 | 09:23 |
| vish | :( | 09:25 |
| knome | thorwil, because that's a draft originally | 09:25 |
| vish | thorwil: until recently the xubuntu logo didnt get approved , doctormo's recent svg blog kinda finalized it ;) | 09:26 |
| knome | thorwil, i probably should give the team a hand and fix it, in addition to tweaking the colors a bit | 09:26 |
| vish | svgs of logos* blog | 09:28 |
| thorwil | vish: i'm a bit torn between only presenting work that i would be fine with if used and following "client" ideas and requests. well, i'm about to recreate the full circle clusterfuck logo in the modern way :/ | 09:28 |
| thorwil | in the hope everybody will see it's the lesser option | 09:29 |
| knome | vish, until recently, nobody was trying to get the xubuntu logo approved | 09:29 |
| vish | knome: true ;) | 09:29 |
| thorwil | knome: i don't have to expect changes to that mouse? | 09:30 |
| knome | and as we can see, it still slipped out too early | 09:30 |
| knome | thorwil, you have all the rights not to expect anything ;) | 09:30 |
| thorwil | heh | 09:30 |
| knome | thorwil, but ugh, yes, i'll probably tweak the mouse before maverick .P | 09:31 |
| knome | +another eye | 09:31 |
| * thorwil still thinks his mouse could beat that mouse even if blindfolded | 09:31 | |
| knome | that's now out of my scope - i wasn't involved in the selection of that logo over the others even the slightest bit. i just heard this is now official | 09:32 |
| knome | that's why it also slipped out unpolished | 09:32 |
| knome | didn't know of the process | 09:32 |
| thorwil | knome: i don't blame you. what a sad case of failure to talk | 09:34 |
| knome | it's sad i didn't know, but i also honestly think the chosen logo is not as bad as you think it is | 09:35 |
| knome | i understand that your version was more compatible in small sizes, but you have to get over the attitude your work is always better :P | 09:36 |
| thorwil | knome: i don't have the attitude that my work is always better. if you want the charm of a kids drawing the xubuntu mouse is ok. | 09:40 |
| knome | the mouse is the xfce mouse | 09:40 |
| thorwil | it's pretty much both now | 09:40 |
| knome | you're free to convince charlie-tca, the xubuntu leader, of that | 09:41 |
| knome | i am not deciding on anything about that anymore. | 09:41 |
| thorwil | useless now that the given logo has been presented as official | 09:42 |
| knome | you can always change that. | 09:43 |
| knome | xubuntu is not as stiff as ubuntu is. | 09:43 |
| knome | especially now that it's not yet been in a release yet | 09:43 |
| knome | or the xubuntu website | 09:43 |
| vish | thorwil: "presented" , was just since doctormo thought it was official , and once it was blogged , charlie just said , ok lets use it | 09:44 |
| thorwil | heh, the kubuntu logo svg is not 3 shapes on one circle. the implied inner circle _is_ another circle | 09:52 |
| * thorwil hugs boolean ops | 09:52 | |
| thorwil | not that i would want to influence people, but i wouldn't mind comments especially in favor of not using the last option presented at http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2010/08/03/full-circle-magazine-logo-2/ :) | 11:51 |
| cjohnston | kwwii: ping | 15:09 |

| thorwil | vish: seems like actually creating that hodge-podge logo for comparison worked out: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2010/08/03/full-circle-magazine-logo-2/#comment-3184 | 19:55 |
| vish | thorwil: \o/ | 19:57 |
| vish | thorwil: gonna to add some spears along with that ? ;p | 19:59 |
| thorwil | vish: no, as i replied there, it would look like a recycle or reload symbol :/ | 20:00 |
| vish | thorwil: yeah , 1 is seems saner , wonder why he wants it to /not/ be about a circle :) | 20:01 |
| vish | thorwil: actually you did a pretty decent mashup for 3, but it wont make sense if it is smaller ;) | 20:02 |
| thorwil | vish: mashup is a nice work. btw, i found out that the kubuntu logo is full of unintentional asymmetry | 20:04 |
| thorwil | if you take one of the segments and flip it around to compare it with itself, you see it doesn't match. the halves are not identical. | 20:05 |
| thorwil | varying length of the gaps between the teeth can be seen with the naked eye, if you just zoom in enough | 20:06 |
| vish | thorwil: i think some one from the kubuntu team did that , seems to be not design's team work.. their splash too | 20:07 |
| thorwil | vish: isn't it sad that someone who clearly does not know how to do it would not ask for help? | 20:07 |
| vish | thorwil: :) , one reason might be that they didnt have time before release and after release they didnt care much ;p | 20:08 |
| vish | thorwil: didnt have time to call out for help .. | 20:10 |
| vish | thorwil: they are lucky to have decided to go with most of the artwork from upstream :D | 20:11 |
| thorwil | well, lets hope the kubuntu projects spins smoothly, even with a broken-in-more-than-one-way cog as logo :) | 20:14 |
| thorwil | i guess some would call be obsessive, anyway :) | 20:15 |
