And I never even knew that logo was supposed to be a "circle of friends". It makes sense now that I look at it, but I just saw "circle with dots" and never gave it a second glance.
To whom it may concern: According to this, some of what those screenshots show is customized, and so not a true representation of the new default look.
I'm not really sure what I think of the new logo font - I didn't feel the old one was dated already, and I wonder whether the new one may date even faster.
Anyways, screenshots look pretty, and I appreciate they had to get rid of the brown colourscheme, since it's been complained about a lot for years.
I'm no fan of the brown and orange color scheme, but the biggest thing I notice from the huge logo is that the "circle of friends" has been minimized. I'm sure there were marketing and focus group considerations to take into account there, but I can't help but feel that it's symbolic of something.
I'm probably still turned off to Ubuntu after the Ubuntu One episode. There are a lot of idealistic people in Ubuntu (I was one of them), but it just feels like the Ubuntu Powers That Be are taking advantage of them. To me, anyway.
Gnome (and KDE) have come such a long way in 5 - 10 years. They used to be so blocky, clunky.
I remember wishing the developers would settle on one place for the OK button and one place for the cancel button. Never was in the same place app to app.
The new colors look pretty good. Most people swap out the default for the preferences anyway.
Honestly, being a person who is actually brown, I always liked having the brown color schemes, since the orange and brown were meant to represent Human.
I'm not sure what I think about that purplish; it seems generic.
