Matthias, Rishi and myself are the only people who added any information to the "Downstream Branding" page on the GNOME wiki, and nobody asked us to add anything more. The discussions usually go something with you proposing something, a lot of folks working upstream thinking it's not the best option, with more or less vehemence, and the functionality getting in anyway. > Since there has not been any progress, I have a basic suggestion that I > think we should start with.

It's like we never had those discussions in the past. Keep asking the same thing, and that one time when we're not looking, you'll slip this change past us. I'm pretty sure that the omni-presence of a logo isn't something that got explicitly requested by designers at Endless. Or the Ubuntu designers requesting the UI to be mostly orange. > > > I think this is a good idea, but it's hardly sufficent.

That's probably fine for not everyone using terminals all the time, that means we're doing something right. But I'd rather we took a considered and holistic approach to branding rather than slapping logos where there's some blank space. _______________________________________________ desktop mailing list -- desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to desktop-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
