About

The artTeam is a community of individuals who support the larger community of Ubuntu by contributing themes, icons, background images, and other appropriate submissions of art. The desire of the team is to create high quality graphics for use by the Ubuntu community and advocating for and supporting the creative tools included with Ubuntu.

There are basic rules and guidelines that all artwork in Ubuntu must follow. We have outlined many of them below:

• Submissions should be made in formats that can be read by software available in the Ubuntu Package Collection. Preferred image formats include SVG and PNG. Preferred sound formats include WAV, FLAC and OGG Vorbis. Master files, which may be further edited, should be maintained in non-lossy formats. Preserving vector graphics, raster layers and channels is important for such materials.

• All contributions must be covered by an appropriate License agreement such as Creative Common Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License. As adding value to the Ubuntu community is core to our purpose, we encourage contributors to agree to the Ubuntu Code Of Conduct.

• Submissions must respect artwork licensing. If your submissions consist of artwork created by other people, please make sure the license of the original work you incorporate is compatible with Ubuntu and that you are not violating any of the provisions of its license. Just because a work is licensed with a Creative Commons license does not mean it is free to use (make sure you provide attribution to artists that license their work with a CC Attribution clause.)
• No version numbers. Some individuals may desire to use an older theme, or use the latest theme in their older version of Ubuntu. To permit that choice, do not use any version numbers within the Ubuntu artwork.
• No text or logos should be used in the wallpapers. They are not easily translatable and we want Ubuntu to be used globally and the themes to be used by derivative distributions without extensive changes.
