Ubuntu GNOME logo design

[Joseph Braddock]

I am not sure that the GNOME foot in a colored circle is enough to make 
people think Ubuntu-Gnome. The GNOME guidelines allow an image to be 
placed in the white space of the foot for a related project. On the 
guidelines page is an example of the GNOME Java project with the Java 
coffee cup in the white space of the foot.  Since this is the 
Ubuntu-Gnome "project" why not use the Ubuntu symbol in the white space 
(where they show the coffee cup)?  The image can be found towards the 
bottom of https://live.gnome.org/BrandGuidelines.

Of course, I would suggest blue or any other color than Ubuntu-Orange 
for the Ubuntu portion of the logo, but that is just my preference.
