A New Icon Theme for Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10

This is a wiki page for the art team and who else to show off different icon designs as suggestions for the default icons in Intrepid.

I have discussed the state of the look of Ubuntu with Mark Shuttleworth, and he suggested using the following procedure.

Use the art team to develop wiki's displaying unified work towards three areas: 1) Fonts, 2) Icons, and 3) the Theme.

We will list several options on the wiki, along with guidelines. We will then discuss the options, narrowing them down to a few choices. These wiki pages will be used

to then show Shuttleworth the Art Team's work at the next Community Council.

Guidelines

As per Mark Shuttleworth's suggestion, you will create a folder icon showing how you think the icons should be redesigned.

1) It has to still be orange/brown.

2) Make it unique; Mark wants us to retain our identity. Therefore, start with the current Human folder and work from there.

3) Create the icon as a scalable icon, and make it available in editable formats.

4) Try to include a palette and concept art as well.
