I dont think Oliver meant that it would be ugly :)

*Its a lovely design* , but the 16px is almost like a circle where the
individual curves merge.
While the current logo is very clear in 16px.

Also... right now , Ubuntu is very rigid about not changing its logo.

Maybe in future, when they are accepting new designs for logo you can
pitch this idea again :)

Any such announcements, for new logo designs, will be notified in this
mailing list, so stay subscribed ;)
