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.
Yeah, I almost didn't install 9.10. I did anyway. I guess I was looking at it from the POV of people like Melissa Draper, rather than the big giant head.
I'm one of those people who didn't even know that the logo was supposed to be a 'circle of friends', but like I said in a comment to someone else, I use Kubuntu and its logo is even more difficult to make out as a 'circle of friends'.
Luckily, there are lots of different Linux distributions out there, for everyone's tastes and needs, but I can sympathize with you for your frustrations with the 'Ubuntu Powers'...
