[Ubuntu Oregon] new logo awaits your approval

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Just to be clear if its using different colors especially green then it
doesn't use the branding guidelines and would not be appropriate.

The current logo I think worked for most of our loco members is there any
reason it no longer works?

The guidelines are here http://design.ubuntu.com/

I quite enjoyed the logo that James designed.
