[ubuntu-art] Counting Down to Ubuntu 10.10

[Matthew Nuzum]

Announcing the chosen banners:

First, it was a very tough decision. The entries this time around were
fabulous! It took us a whole extra day to decide which ones to use because
there were so many great choices. But, we have to choose and so we did.

Our first choice was Martín Césare's "logo as a progress bar" shown at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/MaverickCountdownBanner#Mart%C3%ADn%20C%C3%A9sare%27s%20Mockups(he
has made some minor adjustments to this so the final version does look
a
bit different)

Great job Martin!

Our second choice was Thorwil's "circles" shown at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/MaverickCountdownBanner#Circles We loved the
way it progresses inwards, it really builds excitement.

Our third choice was a split decision, we couldn't pick only one, so we
chose:

Alejandro Rojas'

and
Koichi Akabe's
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/MaverickCountdownBanner#Koichi%20Akabe%27s%20Design

Congratulations to all of the winners!

I've received almost all of the final artwork and will be working to publish
it this week. Expect one more e-mail from me once these get to their final
resting place.
