pentesilea_Does somebody know where i can get a description about how to create an own iconset?09:49
Ronniepentesilea_: http://design.canonical.com/brand/8.%20Pictograms.pdf09:49
Ronnieand more information can be found here: http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/09:49
Ronniechaotic, 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
iainfarrellhey Ronnie09:53
iainfarrelllet me have a look09:53
iainfarrellthe guidelines we produced were more for people using the CoF referring to us09:53
iainfarrellso if someone in the press was talking about Ubuntu09:53
iainfarrellthen we don't want them using the logo incorrectly09:53
iainfarrellyour loco team should be allowed to play with it09:54
iainfarrellfor your own identifying graphic09:54
pentesilea_Ronny: thanks! But there I  ould not find anything about the names and directories of the icons.09:54
Ronnieiainfarrell: 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
iainfarrelllet me go talk to Marcus, our brand guardian09:56
iainfarrell2 secs09:56
pentesilea_Ronnie: I will have a look on this documents.10:01
iainfarrellhey Ronnie10:02
iainfarrellso I chatted to Marcus10:02
iainfarrelland one thing we were thinking about your graphics you've made10:03
iainfarrellis that there's a lot going on in a very small area10:03
iainfarrellit's quite hard to see the country in there10:03
iainfarrellI was thinking maybe using some detail from a flag10:03
iainfarrellmight be a nice way to go10:04
iainfarrellbecause it would scale a bit better than the outline of a country10:04
iainfarrelland it's more in keeping with the graphic style we use in pictograms we commission10:04
Ronnieour 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 horrable10:05
Ronnieif i leave the colors out, there isnt much left10:06
iainfarrellRonnie: see what you mean10:06
iainfarrellwell to look at it another way, what is there that says "netherlands" ? :)10:08
Ronnieiainfarrell: 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 water10:12
Ronniewe have a lion (the shape of out country)10:12
iainfarrellmills and shoes seem like a good place to start if they resonate10:12
iainfarrellbecause they are quite distinct10:12
iainfarrellI think the Mill would be nice10:12
iainfarrellvery obvious shape10:12
iainfarrelldistinct arms10:12
iainfarrelland would still be easy to make out when small10:13
Ronniehmm, ill have a look10:14
dashuachaotic, What is the expected design of the memenu entry box?  Is this proper -> http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-kHITyalj.png15:25
chaoticdashua: hi, I'll need to check. It's been a while since I looked at the Me Menu designs15:36
chaoticdashua: although I think originally we used a light background to make it feel more like a field15:37
dashuachaotic, Ok thanks, there are a few usability bugs reported on it and was trying to get it fixed.16:07
