[ubuntu-art] Without Submissions - We are Nothing

[j_baer]

Hello Everyone,

I am pleased to announce comments received off-line in reference to the
Artwork Team Logo submissions are very positive and thank you. However as
the clock ticks down on this task (2010-12-01) I would like to challenge the
Team to think out of the box. 

To quote Paul Rand (  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rand  ) ...



> If, in the business of communications, “image is king,” the essence of
> this image, the logo, is a jewel in its crown.
> 
> Here’s what a logo is and does:
> 
> A logo is a flag, a signature, an escutcheon.
> 
> A logo doesn’t sell (directly), it identifies.
> 
> A logo is rarely a description of a business.
> 
> A logo derives its meaning from the quality of the thing it symbolizes,
> not the other way around.
> 
> A logo is less important than the product it signifies; what it means is
> more important than what it looks like.
> 

In summary, it symbolizes who we are.

This team supports Ubuntu, but more importantly it supports the greater
community and the greater community does not have the resources available to
Ubuntu.

I encourage everyone who has not, to support this team/community with your
talent as without submissions we are nothing.

Best regards,

John
