First Logo Suggestion

attachment:xubuntu_logo.png

One potential problem is the similarity in color scheme to the Kubuntu logo. However, the colors are true to the Xfce logo. A gzipped SVG file of this logo (produced in Inkscape) is available here: attachment:xubuntu_logo.svgz

A funny animated GIF with the Xubuntu logo suggestion

  • Warning /!\ IIRC, gif work is not Free as In Freedom, is it?

  • (User comment: I'm pretty sure that GIF is free now)

  • That's really awesome! That's exactly what I meant (maybe not animated, but that looks even better!). -- Vincent DateTime(2006-01-01T16:07:40z)

Viper 550's idea

attachment:xubuntulogo2.png

My idea is a bit different, the mouse kinda looked ugly inside the Ubuntu device, so I made a new logo, greyscale with a screw design on the dots which looks like an X.

AbelChiaro's idea

attachment:xubuntumice.png attachment:xubuntu_mice.svgz

I decided to go for purple and replace the round heads with mice heads.

Comments

  • It looks good. I've one concern, however. If you scale down the logo the fine details regarding the face of the mouse get lost. A good logo should be recognizable, as much as possible, at any resonable magnification. Because of this, I still prefer the first logo proposal, perhaps with different colors.
    • Regards, J. Mak

  • Hmmm... so far this one maybe is the most good looking, but still maybe not the best. Wink ;-) Why?

Because it's scary or at least a bit freaky... maybe because it reminds me of Art Spiegelman's cartoon Maus. Smile :-) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0679748407/

Derick's idea

http://penguin.agrid.usm.edu/~deisenhardt/xubuntu_x-circle.png

I wanted to make something clean and simple, so as a variation of the original ubuntu logo, I split it into 4 people so there is now an X formed where they meet. I also chose to go with a blue-steel type color scheme as it's easy on the eyes and different enough from the Kubuntu scheme to not clash. I tried putting the XFCE mouse in the middle and it looked pretty good too, but that might be too busy. I also thought about tilting it a little so it's not quite so geometric, but I decided to just go with this one for now. The SVG file can be found here if anyone wants to play with it: http://penguin.agrid.usm.edu/~deisenhardt/Xubuntu_x-circle_Derick_Eisenhardt.svg -Derick Eisenhardt (2005-11-31 @ 3:32am CST)

Variation on Derrick's idea

by ["Andi2"]

I really liked Derick's idea and played with it a bit. So here's what I came up with

attachment:Xubuntu_mods.png attachment:Xubuntu_mod4.png

The second and fourth are my personal favourites.

Get the svg and play with it if you like this. attachment:Xubuntu_mods.svg

OK, so here's a little banner based on my mod of Derick's logo.

attachment:xubuntu_banner_1.png

and here the svg. attachment:xubuntu_banner_1.svg

OK, here's an animation based on one of the logos.

attachment:Animation.gif

PD: Let me know if you want the svg for this, it's not really clean, since this was just a quick hack.

Ubuntu X logo idea

  • I love this idea. Simple, pure, coherent with Ubuntu/Edubuntu logos. Someone pointed out that blue is xfce's traditional color... but it's already taken by Kubuntu. So why not stay with regular Ubuntu's colors? If I was asked about my personal view, I'd say orig. and green are very nice. -- ["Muszek"]

  • Looks a little rushed to me. - BrianStevenson DateTime(2005-01-30T02:16:21Z)

  • I love it! Very clean, and polished. - -- CarlaHufstedler DateTime(2006-02-09T18:34:02Z)

Xubuntu Hybrid

by Eric Hewitt

The banner:

attachment:xubuntu_banner.png

The main menu logo:

attachment:xubuntu_logo_3mouse_small.png

I made a hybrid combining the the original idea and Derick's colors. The mouse is a little enlarged to scale, so that it's discernable at smaller resolutions. The x in xubuntu is closer to the logo in the standard *ubuntu logos to create an arrow effect with the logo, so that the mouse is (subliminally) moving foward. In essence, it's the best of both worlds, as it steps away from the Kubuntu color scheme and still has a strong connection to XFCE. You can get the SVG here: attachment:xubuntu_banner.svg

  • This is my favorite yet
  • Really nice... good colors and still simple! Best with "Neko4/Eric Hewitt's USplash" -- Misery

Xubuntu Three Mice

by Christian Hartmann (Berlin)

I've just grabbed shameless the idea from somewhere above and made a quick'n dirty mockup:

attachment:xubuntu_logo_three_mouses.png

Mice should be bigger and have differential colors?

If someone is out there, who is able and willing to make a real nice SVG from it, (s)he is very welcome.

I liked the idea from the three mice logo above and expanded it a little.

Neko4/Eric Hewitt's USplash

This is my USplash, based off of Eric Hewitt's logo. Very few of the other USplash images listed here were formatted correctly, so I decided to make my own. This conforms correctly to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USplashCustomizationHowto attachment:XubuntuUSplashByNeko.png

  • It's the best for me... there is no ugly color glitch or something like that. It's simple and professional. -- Misery

Vincent's Usplash

Edit: It didn't work because it had more than 16 colours, I now cut it down to 16, however, it doesn't look as good as it used to do. The 16-colour-version is the attachment "XubuntuSplashByVincentCorrect.png", however, if you want to see the good-looking one, you'd have to take a look at "XubuntuSplashByVincent.png".

  • This USplash will not work very well. The text/loading bar colors were not set correctly. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USplashCustomizationHowto

  • It should work now, only the OK's aren't visible. Problem is, I have no idea how to set Indexed Palettes, it just worked after I edited something... It still doesn't use the colours I'd like, but anyways... If this one doesn't work you should try the one at DapperXubuntuUSplash
