Hi

Well, nice work you done, especially the "modern" variant looks good to
me! But I don't think it's necessary to change the Ubuntu logo. Because
of two reasons:

1. The current logo symbolises the human circle (imho!) And it's modern
and "stylish".
2. A mask as logo isn't a good choice for an OS/distribution (imho!),
cause if people don't even know the "way-of-ubuntu" they'll go scared or
something like that ;-)

But as I told, nice work anyway!

Best regards
Daniel
