I'm open to *all* ideas here.

While I agree it's iconic, it's not needed to say "Ubuntu" IMO. It's a
design vs. brand recognition choice. It's something I'm willing to let
the quality of submissions decide. Right now, no proposed Ubuntu logos
have been up to snuff.

My original one was just based on the Oxygen "O" that is used in their
"start-here" image. So while the set is used for KDE (much like Breathe
hopefully will be used for Ubuntu) Oxygen still has it's own little
branding. ;)
