Working within Ubuntu's Trademark Policy restrictions lead me to
developing Ubuntu Canada's logo, which is a) instantly recognizable as
 Canadian, b)recognizably Ubuntu-related and c) fully Trademark
Policy-compliant.

The Ubuntu Australia logo is also great, and inspired my thinking on
Ubuntu Canada logos. Check Ubuntu.AU's wiki page for theirs.

Now, we just need to get Ubuntu Canada's website from "utterly
useless, ugly and busted" back to "actually usable and themed" at some
point...
