[ubuntu-art] Nuak's Proposals

[Who]

Hi all,

If you haven't already seen them on the wiki, then Nuak has some great
Lsplash proposals here
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/EdgyProposals/LSplashProposal
He doesn't seem to have posted them to the list - and I would like to
discuss them - so I have taken the liberty of doing it myself - I hope
Nuak doesn't mind...

I think these are really great!

AICs (and Mark, if reading):
Is there any chance of Edgy + 1 looking like this (or Edgy, but I
guess it is a little to late for that)? I am aware we are comitted to
Gloss as a result of Human - but I think this clean look 1)allows us
to use the more warm, friendly browns (for gloss I find I tend to have
to use orange or caramel, but that could just be me), 2) is divergent
from Vista, XP and OSX and 3)is easier to convert to a
wallpaper/GDM/Usplash (I.E _large_ things) than a completely glossy
design.

They prompted me to post my (5 minute composition - don't judge me!)
honey/liquid lsplash as a way of trying to use a _few glossy elements_
with a cleaner main design. http://tinyurl.com/gejt7
Any opinions would be appreciated - AICs: is this 'allowed' or do we
need things to be _all_ glossy?

I will try and outline what I like about them so we can incorporate it
into other glossy proposals in order to keep true to direction we seem
committed to for this release...
*Cleanliness - not cluttered or too busy
*Warm, earthy browns as opposed to brighter oranges
*The fading line - just looks cool :P
*the simplicity of the logo (yes, I _know_ I am one of the people
making complex, glossy logos :P...I can like both

Just for the record, I like the middle one best
