(In forwarding this I need to leave out the attachments, because the
mailing list has an upper limit of 40kb.  However a Troy includes
clear instructions to get all from a bzr repository. Thanks, mouz.)

Here are the three identity elements.  The changes I made in the name of
polishing were:

* Increased typography dimensions.  Hopefully still falls on the
understated end of things.  Very difficult to get perfect with the
centre of gravity on the Ubuntu Circle of Friends needing to be offset.
 It is an extremely tricky shape to compose properly as you are always
either fighting the psychological composition (slightly offset to the
left) versus the physical centre (slightly offset to the right).  Text
makes it even more difficult.

* Adjusted tracking on the 'WOMEN' portion.  Needed to align the M, and
that required some subtle tracking adjustments.

* Condensed overall image for 192 size.  Hopefully optimize the limited
area without being claustrophobic.

* Augmented 64 and 14 pixel sizes by providing a secondary blur to
remove jagged edges at those sizes.  14 pixels is a complete silly size,
but tried to optimize it the best I can for that size.  A pixel twiddler
might be able to spend an hour twiddling on it, but it seems solid
enough for such a minute resolution.

* Polished the raised bevel edge.  Added a more central core to the
sheen and smoothed it out.

* Etc.

If you have any further requests, complaints, or other elements needing
work, don't hesitate to contact me.  Unfortunately, I am extremely busy,
so my output time may be erratic.

In particular, if you folks desire some merchandise design elements,
please let me know.  A jpeg of the element in question would greatly
help in providing some destination-oriented material for the printer /
embroidery house, etc.


Sincerely,
TJS

Individual files are attached.  I have also created a permanent Bazaar
repository with the elements.  You can get them onto your computer
simply by using Bazaar from the repositories.  The command to check out
