Artwork?

[MoonRise]

Posted this elsewhere and got no response. Figured this would be a better place to ask:

OK. For Hardy Heron I'm trying to update the look of my CD/DVD disk labels. Does anyone know if there are any Hardy Heron Kubuntu Art Work available yet? Looking for not only any KDE4 but also Kubuntu specific.

Re: Artwork?

What kind of artwork are you looking for in specific? If you could shoot me some idea's, maybe I could make something up in photoshop for you

Re: Artwork?

Well, the biggest thing I'm looking for is the Kubuntu Logo - the Ubuntu Human Wheel, but with the KDE touch. I actually saw a good picture of that logo at KDE-Look.org. but it was embedded in wallpaper or something and I just need the logo on a transparent background. It had a 3dish look to it (metalic in away). The metalic look would look great with the Label gradient I'm using.

Re: Artwork?

Here's one I did just as a reference, so you could point out what exactly you like and want. I know it's not Hardy Heron It'll give me an idea as to what you like/want on the CD label

Re: Artwork?

Cool. I like that.

What I'm looking for is a logo like I have here, but more up to date. I mean, the resolution is OK. It a little rough around the edges and doesn't do Transparency to well. Also more metallic and 3dish in appearance.

How's this?

Re: Artwork?

That's great. I never thought of using the animal along with the name and version. I'm still in need of the Kubuntu Logo as I described. I can get the CD Label fine enough, but can't find the right artwork. I do like the idea of the animal though. Below is a link to a post containing my current label.

Did you create that silhouette?

Re: Artwork?

Yes, I created the silhouette using InkScape. In fact, as far as the logo is concerned, you can get the SVG file from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Kubuntu_Logo.svg

Using InkScape, you can resize it however you like without losing any of the detail/clarity. You can then export the logo as a PNG to use in GIMP or other image editing software (though GIMP will open SVG files itself).
