Ubuntu GNOME new logo concept (preview)

Wed Apr 29 08:35:49 UTC 2015

Yeah, that's a serious problem. We can't use a logo that can only be used
in a very specific way, and even if we did, we cannot guarantee that
external people are going to use it properly. But yes, you are technically
right.

BTW, what do you think about Patrik's concept?

Cheers,
Alfredo
