BR With the Hardy version of Ubuntu Studio we're hoping to really do something different. This is a idea we couldn't quite do justice with for Gutsy so we decided to wait and open it up to everyone for Hardy.
This page and guidelines will continue to evolve over the next few weeks or so as we're starting this process really early and will still need some time to clearly convey what we're going for. Once they are a little clearer we will post to various mailing lists and Ubuntu Forums. Anything that's felt to not stick to the guidelines will be removed.
Concept
We want to create a D.I.Y. punk/indie/metal/whatever feel with Ubuntu Studio-Hardy. That kinda distressed, show flyer look. Attached are examples of flyers and a show pic to try to convey to you the feeling/emotion that goes into this scene. Anyone "in the scene" I feel will get this concept right off the bat.

Here's a video for Jet's "[http://youtube.com/watch?v=R7HkXI70t88 Rip it Up]" that is a good reference. WARNING Flash Video.
General Rules/Guidelines
In my head it doesn't use gradients. Solid colors. (but I'm totally open to some use. just have to see it.)
- Final art will be chosen by a 3 member panel. 1 member of the Ubuntu Studio dev team. 1 from the Ubuntu Art team and the final position coming from a vote by the community via a Ubuntu Forums poll.
All submissions must fit the design concept. All submissions that don't will be removed.
Submissions are preferred to be licensed under the CC-Share Alike license but can be anything that fits the [http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines DFSG].
NO GLOSS!!

- Thanx to troy_s for work on the logo.
Art in the OS need not contain the (R) mark but submissions for DIY Packaging/Marketing should.
Color Palette
I'm looking to add 2 or 3 colors to use along with the blue. Here is a "paired down" version of the Feisty/Gutsy palette (various, close grays removed) to use as a starting point. BR attachment:u-s_pallet_hardy_.png
