Spreadubuntu Logo 2
2010-10-02 25 Comments
After reading comments and looking at the drafts with fresh eyes, I decided to drop the designs from the first set that are based on combining the Circle of Friends with a globe. They feel too heavy and have this touch of seeking world domination 😉
From the remaining, 5 and 8 are the strongest, but 8 is too thin, out of style.
So here are my (hopefully) final proposals:
BTW, if you enjoy my work and would like to increase the chances that I can continue doing this, you can help me by recommending my professional services. Also don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss a commission. Thanks!

I think we need to have a little bit of the globe in there 😉
From my previous edit : http://www.foopics.com/showfull/0990f45cf5843a7deaacbcbea579a5ce
Made a few subtle changes to the first one > http://www.foopics.com/showfull/a7b051971e62f1aeaa8a7470a9a98fbb
Oh! Another alternate idea : http://www.foopics.com/showfull/70e4204929c3318eb3e143aafd4cdd9e
The first one with the globe seems to present the idea of spreading around the globe .[might it be a bit closer to the full circle logo? but i think the globe gives it the difference or is this already used by some other logo? and did i have a deja-vu]
The second one is just a minor variant, like a pulsing.. still like the globe there ;-p
Interesting. I liked original proposals 2-4 the most, but out of the current two, I have to say the second one is definitely better. Less intrusive and much more related to Ubuntu’s official logo.
I like Vish’s »running around the globe« proposal – #1 from http://www.foopics.com/showfull/70e4204929c3318eb3e143aafd4cdd9e
#2 of yours looks like a great new logo for Ubuntu brainstorm! 😉
I’m not sure about the arrows. They seem more like making a choice or going into separate directions (parting ways) than spreading.
Thank’s a lot for this article, i prefer the second

World domination is the goal! 😉
I agree with the fact that the globe thingy is too heavy, but I still think we should show that our aim to reach the world by fixing bug #1 – A balance can be achieved I guess?

#2 by a long shot
Number teori is awsome!!!
number 2
Thorwil, you should consider setting up a flattr.com account. It seems to be all the rage these days.
Wait, you are NOT seeking world domination? 😮
Great work, #2 definetly!
Ok I seen to be the only one who likes number #1 more… but they really are both great.
Why not combine the two? I think the globe setup would look great with arrows coming out of it.
2 is perfect 🙂
#2 is amazing!!!! Great job!
I liked the concept of number 8 from your previous post but didn’t like it as much aesthetically. This post’s number 2 fixes that, and is perfect IMHO 🙂
Thorsten,
No. 2 is superb…No. 1 is for me a bit too hard drawn. It also reminds me of something else, but that’s eventually just me. No. 2 is soft, elegant, and using “waves” is all about “viral marketing”, especially that what the Ubuntu Community does.
Regards,
\sh
the second one is very nice! congrats
Thorsten, #2 is gorgeous, let’s make it official! May need some final perfectionist tweaking on spacing / tracking but the concept, and the visual device, are *awesome*.
Thank you! Could you pinpoint the need for tweaking? “ubuntu” is taken from the official logo and I adjusted “spread” to match it. Guess I could have another look at the circles.
Great then! Let’s move further with #2.
Could you please send a post to the SpreadUbuntu list once this is done so we can ask people to test the new branding of the site?

The 2° Logo is just sensational.
Hugs. 😉
