i think it would be a bad idea to see the Ubuntu logo replaced by
the stock gnome foot in this location; a regression where branding is concerned.
this is a widely anticipated release of Ubuntu and so the logo should be
resolute and it's graphical presence strong.

IMO i think it still looks good with the shadowing - though is definitely softened
by it. regardless the Ubuntu logo is well designed and so it robust enough to take 
this sort of treatment. blocks of strong colours will mean it survives small
sizes and shadowing well. 

if push came to shove i'd rather roll back to the unshaded version than see a gnome's foot there.
