First draft of new Kubuntu Branding

[claydoh]

Here is the first "draft" of the new Kubuntu logo and branding

This will be out for Lucid Lynx 10.04 in Beta 2, and will be a trial of sorts to see how it looks in the real world.

The text is not 100% yet, as they still need to make a "k" in the new Ubuntu style.

Also, the default font for Kubuntu will be Liberation in the next release

I'd like to see a cool boot screen like ubuntu's but with the Kubuntu gears animated - like rotating...

What is the "new" style. I'd like to mod my CD/DVD labels to match.

"Liberation" -- Is that the "new" style?

UPDATE:

I was incorrect in having Liberation by default

but here is an updated graphic, with some work on the "k"

remember, this is still work-in-progress

No, the logo uses a new ubuntu font (which so far includes only a few letters)

Re: First draft of new Kubuntu Branding
