New Banner - Call for propositions

[mongolito404]

Hi,

At tonight meeting we decided on the following process to finalize the
work started here and to get a new Ubuntu-be banner matching the new
Ubuntu branding. Everybody has until next meeting on 16/06/2010 at
21:00 (UTC+2) to send their proposition to this mailing list. During
the meeting a selection of 5 (or less) propositions will be
shortlisted. Then I'll create a poll (on Launchpad) opened for two
weeks the let everybody vote. The poll result will decide of the new
banner/logo for Ubuntu-be[1].

Two important notes:
 * The new font has not been released (yet) by Canonical. The only
letter for "Ubuntu-be" you can't get by copy/pasting/resize from the
existing logo is the "e". In order to get things done, we can decide
on a incomplete design using inappropriate sources (the Ubuntu logo in
bitmap) to be refined using the new font and proper source once
available.
 * I don't think anybody will have the courage the crawl though the
mailing list archive to pick everyone's last/best submission. I known
I won't. So please, resend your best/favorite design (done by you) in
reply to this mail.

PS: See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.region.belgium/4513
for the original discussion

[1] Unless we are overwhelmed by an army of trolls hijacking the
meeting and the poll.

I prefer version 2. The first one kinda  links us to the Belgian government. It looks ok, But the 2nd one I like the most.

Mijn bijdrage aan de banner:
De look van andere nieuwe logo's gevolgd: 80% zwart voor ubuntu en 60 %
zwart voor 'be'. Het blijft wachten op het officiële lettertype om de
'e' definitief te kunnen voltooien.
In plaats van 1 circle of friends zijn het er drie geworden: we hebben
dan ook een nationale vlag bestaande uit drie kleurtjes ;-)

Origineel is in svg.

De banner van Koen is origineel en 'crisp'. Die draagt momenteel mijn voorkeur weg.

Quite strict!
This would mean some of the propositions won't fly, because the circle of friends' colour was changed. (e.g. Koen's design or the first three designs from Steven.)
But at least you can find a proper 'e' when they talk about the file names on page 18 of the Ubuntu Brand Guidelines.

Hi folks,

According to the Visual Identity guidelines, one cannot change the shape
or colour of the circle of friends.
I also read that there has to be a "registered trademark" sign when the
ubuntu logo is being published in a size over 3 cm wide.
Yesterday there also leaked a beta version of the ubuntu-font on the
internet. Only the internationalisation of the font isn't finished yet.
The beta version is complete for our language, it works well, and I used
it in this version.
I also used the official cmyk colours for this one.
Personally, I think that the Belgian colours don't work well with the
orange of the Ubuntu logo in any way (trust me, i tried to make them
work), and logos with Belgian colours give a rather cluttered impression
(except for the ones where the circle of friends have the colours, but
as we said earlier, we can't).
Furthermore, using both the belgian colours and the "be"-text seems
double, as everyone understands "be" stands for "Belgium".

We have to keep it clean and simple. That's the only way to keep things
highly recognisable, and true to the minimalistic direction and the
decluttering actions both Canonical and the distribution have taken
recently (eg. Ubuntu Light and the Unity desktop).

When I created the current posters (Ontketen je computer), I took a
minimalistic approach as well, because I thought it was the right way to
go. I haven't changed my mind since then...

But that's just me...

Regards,
Steven.

Spacing in that beta font version maybe isn't correct (and hinting
certainly isn't).  But it's perfectly usable to make rough design
proposal of course.

No, you didn't, PNG can't do CMYK...  ;)

I agree that the colours don't match too well, or it risks to make it
look like a "colouring book" if orange or the dark purple colour are
used too.

Another option is to use a (dark) grey or maybe even black for the "be"
part (IIRC that's what some other locoteams also do?).

Steven,

To keep it simple and as suggested by Jan, could you present another
proposition using use a (dark) grey or maybe even black for the "be" part ?

Hi to all,
Hello Jean,

As asked by Jean, I added 2 proposals with black and grey "be" parts.

@Jan: designed using linux software that can handle cmyk and converted
to png :-D . Indeed the spacing in the beta font isn't correct. I
noticed that as well and made small adjustments to the text.

Kind regards,
Steven.
