[ubuntu-art] Suggestion

[iceman snowman]

To be honest, I would be OK with just a graphical enchantment to the booting screen. Not to take it away from the logo + looping loading dots concept, but to make it visually more pleasing to look at. After all it's a process where the user is required to wait and just look at it, so it might as well be good to look at.

I would design something myself, but I need the new Ubuntu logo. Can anyone provide me with a high-resolution .PNG, or similar with the new Ubuntu logo on it? Speaking of which, the artwork wiki should also provide the new logo.


Thank you
Iceman

Speaking of "not knowing progress", I find the current Plymouth behavior 
looks like a "deranged" progress bar, rather than like an "undefined" 
boot progress indicator.  See my comments here:

(Since top-posting seems to be the norm here, I shall follow that trend.)
