Ohio LoCo Art
Archived thread 355960 from Ohio Team - US. Markdown source: Ohio_Team_-_US/thread_355960_Ohio_LoCo_Art.md
I planning on making banners in both animated flash and animated gifs for your personal blogs etc:
Banners must stick with this criteria (mental note to self) Sticking with "Circle of Friends" followed by "Ubuntu" in the Ubuntu-title font in black
Since this is also bringing attention to the LoCo Ohio team, throw me some ideas?
What should it have that makes it "stand out"?
Here's something to chew on and just post ideas, links to art work, something that you think is "cool"
Our pride in our local collage teams? Colors? State Flag? Linux community?
Shoot your ideas. I'll come up with results. Brady
a scrolling GIF always works good, Show ubuntu symbol spinning, then Ubuntu *text* from right to left slowly, then say Ohio LoCo team. Then flash the ubuntu logo in Negative color then fade back to that nice orange color.
I speak in fragments, my brain moves too fast for my fingers, sorry.
This is from the Bootsplash thread. Both PNG and XCF files attached. :)
Alrighty, this is what I envision: under 30 seconds for the flash
YOUR Picture : Every take a snapshot with your face on a solid background (with lots of light so there isn't shadow behind you) from shoulders up.
Scene 1:In the first scene of the animation: it shows one of us in a block with the words "individuals"
Scene 2:As it zooms back your photo, their is everyone's pictures, in random, slowly organizing with the words "coming together"
Scene 3: Now the photos are lining up like bricks, while your image now is fading out and the photo block turns into a solid Ubuntu color (IE Orange, Burgundy, Red...) with the words "to form a community..."
Scene 3: The animation zooms up to give a view above the brick formation to see what is "above" with the words "creating roadways of knowledge..."
Scene 4: turning 35 degrees and above the brick line you notice a road way which now your following... with the words "To help local Ohio in Using Ubuntu..."
Scene 5: You now zooming out and notice the roadway, is actually the Ubuntu Logo, and by the time it's done, it has the Logo to the left with the Ubuntu name, and the Ohio Ubuntu community name ....
I know I know,... "Wow man, uhuuhu that's deep" but it would look just killer! I don't think for a gif though all that would have to be cut short or allot of frames pulled out to reduce it's size. I got gif compression tools which only just removes unnecessary color ranges to reduce it's file size.
Let me know if you got any ideas. I was busy today adding yet another local to Ubuntu and got wrapped up in a computer I had to hack for a customer, because their little 4 year old grandson decided to change the password. Spent hours picking at it because of bad iso's (Grrr)

Wow, that is deep, but it sounds cool. It might be easy to render in Blender. :)

Attached is a ubuntuforums-esque logo for the Ubuntu theme currently being installed.
Ok, attached is the flash swf file & HTML code. 2 Also the gif animated file.
To use the swf file, and the html, if you whish to put them online with your site, make sure both are in the same initial directory to funtion. If you like to make changes to have it point to another location here's some examples
1. What the code looks like now...

Ok, this was a redo for some who though "eh, the background is too dark." So I pressed a few colors and this was the best I think, complamented both the banner, but also the Ubuntu theme. The HTML is exactly the same as above thread, but a muted brown. *Shakes head as he just threw an artsy word banter... sigh

-edit- Fixed the top two, used correct font and better fading.
lyceum... those are absolutely beautiful! I'm definitely using some of them ;)

Thanks, these are just the sketches. I will be replacing them once I get the time to do them correctly.

When you get them done (they look great to me already lol) will you send a message via the mailing list? (I get to that faster than forums). I love them!

Sure thing. :)
So any more eye candy? Think all these do it for us? I guess we keep posting and maybe have this art ported to a specific section on the Loco page? :)

Make a list of what you want. I will start working on it. If you want wallpapers, be specific as to what should be on them. Feel free to add as many ideas as you want. I may not be able to do them all, but options are always nice.
OK, THIS IS A swf FILE which could be used in a slideshow presentation. I tried exporting to AVI or mov, but no go. I don't know if anyone can convert it, but it's pretty nice and BIG !! 550X602
Looks sharp, eye candy for your starting presentations.
Does anyone have suggestions for a Georgia LoCo logo? None of the folks involved with the LoCo are artistically inclined. We were thinking something with the outline of Georgia and maybe a peach.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I would but a peach in the middle of the Ubuntu logo, that would be a great color combo. Let the peach overlap the logo. If you like that idea and would like me to make on for you, let me know.

Sorry, that idea won't work. The Ubuntu logo needs to be completely separate from everything else. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/TrademarkPolicy "Logo Standards."
We used to have a combination of the Ohio flag and the Ubuntu logo here, but had to swap it over due to the trademark policy.

Is that because of: "Other than the variations listed here, the logo may not be modified in any way. "
I would think that "You may use transparency and gradient/depth tools, but should still maintain the Ubuntu colors." would make putting the logo over something okay. Why else would you use the transparency? So maybe the shape of the state with the Ubuntu logo inside? or the peach behind the logo with some transparency? In realiy putting the logo next to an object modifies it by adding the other object.
Not trying to argue, just working out the rules so I can better understand them. :)

Basically, the only problem with your idea was having the peach overlap the logo. Basically, there are three generic "rules" for the logo:
Anything next to the logo is fine.
- Dont change the COF logo itself
- Dont let things overlap the logo, however the logo can overlap others
- Don't put any images/objects "inside" the COF
