| pentesilea_ | Does somebody know where i can get a description about how to create an own iconset? | 09:49 |
| Ronnie | pentesilea_: http://design.canonical.com/brand/8.%20Pictograms.pdf | 09:49 |
| Ronnie | and more information can be found here: http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/ | 09:49 |
| Ronnie | chaotic, iainfarrell, ivanka: i have some questions about the guidelines. Our loco team is creating a new logo, i've made some mockups here: http://wiki.ubuntu-nl.org/Artwork/Projecten/Logos/Ubuntu-NL#Ronnie . It contains a modification of the COF, while its against the brand guidelines, do we get into trouble if we use such icons ? | 09:52 |
| iainfarrell | hey Ronnie | 09:53 |
| iainfarrell | let me have a look | 09:53 |
| iainfarrell | the guidelines we produced were more for people using the CoF referring to us | 09:53 |
| iainfarrell | so if someone in the press was talking about Ubuntu | 09:53 |
| iainfarrell | then we don't want them using the logo incorrectly | 09:53 |
| iainfarrell | your loco team should be allowed to play with it | 09:54 |
| iainfarrell | for your own identifying graphic | 09:54 |
| pentesilea_ | Ronny: thanks! But there I ould not find anything about the names and directories of the icons. | 09:54 |
| Ronnie | iainfarrell: thx!. Are there any limitations to the extend we can play with it, for example colou use restricted to one color (and white) ? | 09:55 |
| iainfarrell | let me go talk to Marcus, our brand guardian | 09:56 |
| iainfarrell | 2 secs | 09:56 |
| pentesilea_ | Ronnie: I will have a look on this documents. | 10:01 |
| iainfarrell | hey Ronnie | 10:02 |
| iainfarrell | so I chatted to Marcus | 10:02 |
| iainfarrell | and one thing we were thinking about your graphics you've made | 10:03 |
| iainfarrell | is that there's a lot going on in a very small area | 10:03 |
| iainfarrell | it's quite hard to see the country in there | 10:03 |
| iainfarrell | I was thinking maybe using some detail from a flag | 10:03 |
| iainfarrell | might be a nice way to go | 10:04 |
| iainfarrell | because it would scale a bit better than the outline of a country | 10:04 |
| iainfarrell | and it's more in keeping with the graphic style we use in pictograms we commission | 10:04 |
| Ronnie | our flag does not have much details http://www.engelsehoeve.nl/images/NL-Flag.gif and the colors really do not match, orange with the flag is horrable | 10:05 |
| Ronnie | if i leave the colors out, there isnt much left | 10:06 |
| iainfarrell | Ronnie: see what you mean | 10:06 |
| iainfarrell | well to look at it another way, what is there that says "netherlands" ? :) | 10:08 |
| Ronnie | iainfarrell: thats very hard. there are typically dutch things, but there all from the year 1900 (mills, wooden shoes). We have tulips, but thats not dutch specific. and we have a lot of water | 10:12 |
| Ronnie | we have a lion (the shape of out country) | 10:12 |
| iainfarrell | mills and shoes seem like a good place to start if they resonate | 10:12 |
| iainfarrell | because they are quite distinct | 10:12 |
| iainfarrell | I think the Mill would be nice | 10:12 |
| iainfarrell | very obvious shape | 10:12 |
| iainfarrell | distinct arms | 10:12 |
| iainfarrell | and would still be easy to make out when small | 10:13 |
| Ronnie | hmm, ill have a look | 10:14 |
| dashua | chaotic, What is the expected design of the memenu entry box? Is this proper -> http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-kHITyalj.png | 15:25 |
| chaotic | dashua: hi, I'll need to check. It's been a while since I looked at the Me Menu designs | 15:36 |
| chaotic | dashua: although I think originally we used a light background to make it feel more like a field | 15:37 |
| dashua | chaotic, Ok thanks, there are a few usability bugs reported on it and was trying to get it fixed. | 16:07 |
