The Ubuntu logo was made by the same person as the font Ubuntu Title,
Andy Fitzsimon, unless I'm mistaken. Only the 't' has been modified
between the two. Nothing prevents you from keeping the 't' as in the
original logo.

Your 'r' and 'm' are better than in Ubuntu Title. But there's
something strange about the 'a', and the 's' is very distorted.

The problem is that if each Ubuntu artist start making new characters
to match the official Ubuntu title for every new project, we'll end up
with many typefaces. If there's something wrong with Ubuntu Title, why
not fix it there so every one can benefit from it?
