[ubuntu-art] Ubuntu Jersey's

[Trey Ethridge]

Hello Dea,

That's fine. If you want to just use the Lynx, then that's fine too. I  
think Canonical would approve of you doing your best to match the  
colors and designs if we don't get the official SVG images in time. We  
are under a deadline. :-)

I appreciate your help!

Trey
