[UBUNTU-ART] Breezy Badger Logo Contest? / Medicine Mask / Hi!

[Nicholas]

I think there are one or two problems with 'medicine mask' that strike 
me first of all. One is the format. The width/height ratio makes it too 
incongruous with the name to work in many applications. The other is 
the African implications. Ubuntu is African by name not usage. When I'm 
using Ubuntu there is nothing African about it. The term is African, 
yes, but thats where it ends. I certainly wouldnt push the African 
theme any more than just the root of the word. The original icon works 
as a derivative of an illustration of community, which is more what 
Ubuntu is about.
