etneg_so is there any new project ubunbtu needs artwork for?17:59
kenvandineetneg_, what kind of artwork?17:59
* kenvandine would love to find someone to do a new icon for gwibber :)17:59
etneg_icon?17:59
etneg_i can17:59
etneg_!17:59
etneg_what size17:59
etneg_http://gwibber.com/ this?18:00
kenvandineyeah18:01
etneg_what do youb have in mind and what size18:01
kenvandinewell a 256x256 svg whcih we can create smaller ones for18:02
etneg_you want an icon based off the logo?18:02
kenvandineyeah18:02
etneg_ah 256, that should be a breeze18:02
kenvandinewell, actually not that logo18:02
etneg_that globe logo in a 16x16 would have aliasing issues if you're looking at smaller18:02
etneg_oh18:02
kenvandinemaybe a fresher looking one18:02
kenvandinethat logo is kind of hacky18:02
etneg_you need a new logo and an icon?18:03
kenvandinei guess that is really what i was asking18:03
kenvandinethe current logo needs a lot of work... and it is our icon18:03
etneg_if you like i can do this18:03
kenvandineawesome18:03
etneg_spome of my other works are at, check your notice18:04
etneg_if you still think i should, gimme a day or two:D18:04
kenvandineit would be nice to have something that would look nice in mono as well, to fit nicely in the unity lens18:04
etneg_ye no issues18:05
kenvandineetneg_, no rush... that logo has been bugging me for a while18:05
etneg_do you have any ideas in mind?18:05
etneg_how aobut somthing like a book?18:06
kenvandinei kind of like concepts that revolve around groups of people18:06
kenvandinesince it is all about your friends18:06
etneg_ok18:06
kenvandinesocial networking and all18:06
kenvandineso like outlines of some heads together18:06
etneg_how about this concept18:06
kenvandineor even a play on the ubuntu circle of friends18:06
etneg_a paper sorot of folded but on the lines of the paper there's lil figures on it18:06
etneg_like k18:07
etneg_i'll sketch something up and update you in an hr or two18:07
etneg_whats your mail?18:07
kenvandineken.vandine@ubuntu.com18:07
etneg_do you want this in RGB or CMYK?18:08
kenvandinedoesn't matter to me18:08
etneg_k18:08

etneg_http://i44.tinypic.com/120i99s.png19:25
kenvandineetneg_, thank looks pretty cool, but probably too similar to the ubuntu logo19:30
kenvandinebut i like the concept19:31
etneg_oh19:35
etneg_we dont want the ubuntu logo in there at all?19:35
kenvandineright, i was really referring to the concept of the circle of friends19:37
etneg_so k19:38

kenvandineetneg_, pong20:29
etneg_http://i41.tinypic.com/2rz7u6h.png20:29
kenvandinethat is very cool ;)20:29
etneg_the grapevine red, orange and yellow in the font to give it some ubuntu feel to it20:29
etneg_the blue to represent gwibber20:29
etneg_the faces are basically a G20:30
kenvandineetneg_, can you give it 4 faces to help differentiate it from the ubuntu logo more?20:32
kenvandineso the basic shape is different20:32
etneg_the 4th being in the centre osmewhere?20:33
kenvandineon the circle20:33
kenvandineright now it has the same shape as the ubuntu logo does20:33
kenvandinea 4th would change the shape20:34
etneg_where would yu like the 4th though20:34
kenvandineplus it is always better to have more friends ;)20:34
etneg_sure20:35
etneg_:D20:35
kenvandinemove the left one down and to the right and the top one down and to the right and put it between those20:35
etneg_let me try to understand this20:37
etneg_that would look uniform though what you suggested20:37
etneg_wouldnt*20:37
etneg_i could just make a square if thats fine with you?20:37
etneg_4 faces in each corner or something along those lines20:38

kscloudQuick question (if it can be answered): Are modal sheets going to come back for Precise?20:56

thorwilkenvandine: if i may suggest a different direction: http://www.foopics.com/showfull/5b5370a06385148aa95674ea7741677e21:07
kenvandinethorwil, thanks, but i think that is putting to much emphasis on the "G", I would rather focus more on being social21:11
kenvandinethorwil_, i think in an ideal world users won't even really know they are using gwibber, they are just being social21:14
thorwil_kenvandine: a million other projects are focusing on being social. that's no base for a recognisable logo21:15
kenvandinesure21:15
kenvandinelogos are tough21:16
thorwil_time to log off for today. hopefully tomorrow sees a more stable internet connection :)21:18
kscloudAnyone know? Because I'm planning a sort of overlay for a content area and don't want to mix metaphors21:24
etneg_kenvandine: ping21:42
kenvandineetneg_, pong21:42
etneg_just a sec21:43

etneg_k21:43
kenvandinei am liking that!21:45
etneg_heh21:47
etneg_for an icon we could squeeze all that too, specially if it's at 25621:47
etneg_at 16 or 32 we might have to tone it down a bit21:47

etneg_do you need another concept?22:04
kenvandineetneg_, mind if i blog to ask for feedback?22:16
etneg_kenvandine: sure22:19
etneg_feedback always helps22:19
