GRANULAR 2.0 Design (cont'd)

First step of the new design, will be to hold a vote, through the community at the GRANULAR forums... to choose the main color to be used.
Up till now, GRANULAR has used a gray base... and pulled it off quite well to tell the truth. But the thoughts have been for a little while, in the air about making a change in the future. And, what better time, than now? GRANULAR is undergoing some significant changes (hence the decision to move the release number to 2.0)
There have been 3 colors chosen by the team to place in the poll for the members to vote on.
Blue
Green
Amber

The poll will open with 3 equal (example) desktops... one of each color, so everyone has them to compare and make their decision... which makes it much easier, just as when shopping for paint, flooring, or anything related to decorating.
Once those samples are put together, they will be posted along with the poll. And I will post them here as well. We are anxious to see which is chosen, because once we know... we can begin on a couple other major items related to the design, and then we are off & running.

Some Logo ideas for the Unity Linux project

Being part of the new Unity Linux project, is very exciting for me. The concept of this project, along with it's limitless possibilities, and such a gathering of wonderful minds and talent, is all more than enough to cause people to see... that this is going to be something big.
But, more importantly... it is something solid. Even in the beginning, we are seeing the stage being set for a dependable, highly maintained core, and a strong community with much emphasis on the leadership structure.
A leadership which will not only just hear the ideas and thoughts of it's community... but take them under serious consideration, and... in a transparent manner. Meaning, that the community will always know what is going on behind the scenes (minus the death matches, those are pay per view only)... and what can be expected.
A community, where each and every member's guestion or thoughts, are just as important as the next.

It is also a great honor to me... to be working with some of the most dedicated, and talented people I have ever had the joy of working with. There are no elitist personalities here, like I have met and known in other places. Everyone is open, honest... and speaks their mind, knowing it is exactly what the others want... because it is truly the only way progress can be achieved and maintained.

And, now that I have gotten all the butt-kissin out of the way. One of our objectives of late, has been to come up with a logo. The logo for the Unity Linux project will need to mirror the qualities of the project itself. A logo which is solid, unique, and bold.... yet, simple. It also needs to communicate "Unity"
The toughest goal of this logo project... is to come up with something unique, to show Unity... as it is a word/theory which is common, and widely used throughout the commercial and non-commercial, business world.
We are already seeing a good interest in the new community of members to be involved in the creation of this logo. And it is a welcome thought... and it looks as if we will have a logo contest, which is open to the entire community... which I fully agree with, and gets me excited to see the many ideas/submissions which will come of it.
I, myself, will be watching closely to see some new talent evolve from such a contest... and I will swoop down and catch each submitter... and pitch my plugs to get them to join my graphics forum.

Well, with much delay... here are some ideas I have been tossing around for the Unity Linux logo.

Project "X"

I will refer to the most recent project I am working on as... "Project X". Mostly because I like to be mysterious and seem like a big-shot who is working on some under-cover mission....

Project X, seems to be going well in it's early stages... not too much blood has been drawn yet. A couple broken noses, fingers... and some knocked out teeth while choosing a name. But all is good, and a great bunch of people.... crazy people, but in a fun, psychotic kinda way.
The next part I am involved with, is trying to come up with a really solid / good looking logo for the project. This should be less painful.. but there are no guarantees. I'm glad to see that right off... people are coming up and putting their ideas forward. We should have a nice bunch to choose from soon enough.

GRANULAR 2.0 design is under way

Work is going to begin on the design for GRANULAR 2.0 (the next round).

The project is just in the very early stages, there are decisions to be discussed & made, before any concepts are begun. This will be a very interesting project.
