• Big thanks to Axxium from the LouisianaTeam for our first design!!

• Not sure if I like the "California Ubuntu" or if "Ubuntu California" would be better. Also, question about what font to use for Ubuntu.
• I think that "Ubuntu California" is a bit more traditional sounding, as the Ubuntu should be first. What are the rules about using the Ubuntu font again?

• Here's something I cobbled together after talking on IRC.

• Forum post and SVG located here

4

• Here's an idea that someone mentioned during last IRC meeting.

5

• Here's what I was thinking with the Ubuntu-California design. I'm not sure which looks better. I think they lose something in the thumbnails (too subtle) but for our team icon (on Launchpad) we could simply use the California outline by itself.
