Collaboration+Progress
At the core--these two put together usually become: "Reaching New Heights"
- This is probably far too close to FC7's "Flying High"
- I suppose this means we both have high aspirations?
Basic
Progress
- Sense of motion
Forward colours
- This very much implies warm colours--warm colors come forward, cool recede
- Use Nature like colours (idea: colour groups representing a piece of reality)
- Directional lines
All pieces should have a very distinct sense of directionality
- Perspective is a good tool to achieve this, and much better than the 'Wind' effect
Collaboration
- Things enjoined, intertwined
- Interlocking pieces
- Circular motifs
- Rather than things building up to make a whole--that would imply building/creation rather than collaboration
Harmonizing colours
- We need to answer the question: Where do WE collaborate? Then we need to ask ourselves some other questions: What is the atmosphere of that place? What moods it implies? Are we happy or sad when collaborating? -- when done we have to translate the answers to colors.
Motifs
The circular motifs of collaboration contradict the directionality of progress1
1Semi-offtopic sidenote: An image of DNA springs to mind, intertwining and yet reaching relatively infinite distances
Progress
- Arrows, timelines
- Artifical objects--avoid overdoing chrome (Very NA connotation)
An evolution of objects, shapes
Collaboration
- Pieces-swatches of color pieced together, different yet complementing.
A patchy colour look can contribute to the organic feel commonly associated with Ubuntu
- Puzzles
- Gears in sync
- Synergy
Building, directional energy?

Do not use the glass effect where it's not present! Example is glass like paper. It's just not natural.
