[06:53] <gouki> Does anyone have a ubuntu logo with transparent background?
[07:00] <troy_s> gouki: You can grab those from the wiki
[07:01] <gouki> troy_s, link? I searched but couldn't find any that fitted my needs
[07:02] <troy_s> gouki: There are svg versions there -- just pull the svg component out.
[07:02] <troy_s> wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork
[07:02] <troy_s> should be a good starting point
[07:02] <troy_s> iirc its under 'official'
[07:03] <gouki> troy_s, ok. I'm gonna give it a try. Not too good at these things, though :)
[07:06] <gouki> I just made the logo. Selection editor from Gimp is fun :)
[07:10] <troy_s> gouki: Inkscape is far superior for that sort of thing.
[07:11] <gouki> troy_s, I've been told the same thing. I'll look into it the next time I need to do something like these (I hope I don't have to in a long time)
[07:12] <troy_s> gouki: You might want to enlist the help of others if it isn't your cup of tea.
[07:12] <troy_s> gouki: There are quite a few willing and capable people out there generally.
[07:13] <gouki> troy_s, I've been searching for help for a long time. Posts fetched by Planet Ubuntu and IRC channels. No luck so far. I'll try and do it myself :)
[07:13] <troy_s> gouki: Well what are you trying to do?
[07:14] <troy_s> gouki: I have a very few short minutes here... I could probably do it for you rather quickly.
[07:14] <gouki> troy_s, first I wanted help for UbuntuWeblogs.org - I was able to do all I needed by myself
[07:15] <gouki> I'm now working on UbuntuBackstage.org - I only needed to change the color scheme (Drupal has a nice interface for that) and create a logo
[07:15] <gouki> Since I didn't find anyone to do it, I'm going with the Ubuntu logo
[07:15] <gouki> For the logo (which is the only thing I need now) I wanted to have one of those old microphones (used on interviews) on top of the Ubuntu logo
[07:16] <troy_s> gouki: Unfortunately, for something that simple, your probably best to simply use the ubuntu pill.
[07:16] <troy_s> gouki: And unfortunately there is no official palette, so you are left with guessy crap to get colours in the range.
[07:17] <gouki> troy_s, yeah! :( I tried doing by guess (didn't come out very good though)
[07:17] <gouki> Ubuntu pill?!
[07:17] <troy_s> gouki: The 'lozenge'
[07:17] <gouki> troy_s, ohh, yeah. That's what I did (I'm uploading now)
[07:17] <troy_s> gouki: If you want two simple things, _only_ use the ubuntu font on the word 'ubuntu' -- it is completely godawful ugly for anything else.
[07:18] <BHSPitMonkey> troy_s, some people use it for their whole desktop (menus, etc)
[07:18] <gouki> I searched for the Ubuntu font, but I read on several weblog posts that there wasn't one :|
[07:18] <troy_s> BHSPitMonkey: There is no accounting for lack of ability to see poor fonts.
[07:18] <BHSPitMonkey> gouki, it's called continuum, and you can download it from the official artwork I believe.
[07:18] <gouki> That's why I used the one below the word 'ubuntu' on UbuntuWeblogs.org
[07:19] <troy_s> no
[07:19] <troy_s> it is called ubuntu-title-font iirc
[07:19] <troy_s> sorry
[07:19] <BHSPitMonkey> or "Continuum"
[07:19] <troy_s> ttf-ubuntu-title
[07:19] <troy_s> sudo aptitude install ttf-ubuntu-title
[07:20] <troy_s> it is really just an implementation of another pre-existing font, minus the proper typespace etc.
[07:21] <troy_s> LOL
[07:21] <troy_s> http://blog.eachday.com/2007/8/1/bubble-logo-insanity
[07:21] <gouki> troy_s, can you change the image located on UbuntuWeblogs.org?
[07:21] <troy_s> whats worse, some people have managed to make speech bubbles with that horribly dated reflection shiny glossy shit in it.
[07:21] <troy_s> gouki: I could if you want me to,
[07:21] <troy_s> gouki: To what?
[07:21] <BHSPitMonkey> troy_s, RE: the official palette, is the Ubuntu Palette you can download on Artwork/Official not official?
[07:22] <gouki> troy_s, the logo now has 'Planet Ubuntu Users' written on some font I can't remember. I wanted to change that and write it with the official font
[07:22] <troy_s> BHSPitMonkey: Well there _is_ a palette used in the logo -- but that isn't a palette.
[07:22] <troy_s> BHSPitMonkey: The design palette is non-existent
[07:23] <gouki> troy_s, the original image: http://www.ubuntu.com/htdocs/ubuntuwebsite/img/u-headerlogo.png (without the Planet Ubuntu Users text)
[07:28] <troy_s> gouki: hrm... hard for me to fake that
[07:28] <troy_s> gouki: bar pill...
[07:28] <troy_s> gouki: I can easily do something close, but you might need to adjust the header for the portion that doesn't have the logo
[07:29] <gouki> troy_s, I just want to add the text 'Planet Ubuntu Users' below 'UBUNTU' - Just like it is now, but with the official font
[07:29] <troy_s> gouki: Again, I would advise against using the official font in that capacity, but if you want that, it is pretty simple.
[07:29] <troy_s> gouki: The main problem is that the 'ubuntu' should migrate up if you want text below it.
[07:29] <troy_s> gouki: Let me show you a sample.
[07:37] <troy_s> gouki: Can you dcc get?
[07:37] <gouki> troy_s, sure! :)
[07:38] <troy_s> gouki: The colour isn't probably spot on -- I used a sample colour pick from that blob.
[07:39] <gouki> troy_s, it looks pretty good! :)
[07:39] <troy_s> gouki: That is what I meant by not using that nasty font on the text bits.
[07:39] <troy_s> gouki: Anyways, if you want something like that, you just need to give me your banner requirements.
[07:39] <troy_s> gouki: Obviously the 'text' portion is a left set chunk, the rest is a repeat?
[07:40] <gouki> troy_s, yeah. Exactly
[07:41] <troy_s> gouki: Give me a second
[07:41] <troy_s> gouki: You have the dimensions you want?
[07:41] <troy_s> gouki: As in height?
[07:42] <gouki> troy_s, :| No. Sorry to tell you, but, it's up to you :)
[07:42] <troy_s> gouki: I'll just use the same one.  Hold tight a few.
[07:42] <gouki> troy_s, sure! :) Thanks
[07:59] <troy_s> gouki: I'll give you a high resolution version and you can scale it.
[08:00] <gouki> troy_s, I think it's better if you give me the image with the correct resolution so I just replace it with the current one :)
[08:00] <troy_s> ok
[08:00] <gouki> I may screw things up! Heheh
[08:03] <troy_s> gouki: How big is the tile piece?
[08:04] <gouki> troy_s, tile piece!? :|
[08:04] <troy_s> gouki: The part that carries on where there is no logo (repeated?)
[08:04] <troy_s> gouki: That completes the banner.
[08:04] <gouki> troy_s, ohhh. Just a second.
[08:05] <gouki> troy_s, 10x90: http://www.ubuntu.com/htdocs/ubuntuwebsite/img/u-header.png
[08:09] <troy_s> gouki: Ok try these two
[08:09] <gouki> troy_s, I'll give it a try
[08:09] <troy_s> gouki: Not ideal, but a close variant on the pre-existing style.
[08:10] <troy_s> gouki: They should be more or less plug and play
[08:13] <gouki> troy_s, howww! I replaced the image but it doesn't show up! :|
[08:15] <troy_s> gouki: You will need to make sure that the two images I gave you match the image titles of the existing code set.
[08:15] <gouki> troy_s, they do. I just checked the .CSS
[08:15] <troy_s> gouki:  as in u-headerlogo.png and u-header.png
[08:16] <gouki> Yeah. Just checked and everything matches! :|
[08:16] <troy_s> i don't know what to say, something is incorrectly named.
[08:16] <troy_s> show me the images on the server in single form
[08:16] <troy_s> as in the full uri's
[08:17] <troy_s> gouki: Can you do that?
[08:18] <gouki> troy_s, it's permissions problems. Fixing it now :)
[08:18] <troy_s> yeah that's the other thing I was going to suggest
[08:18] <troy_s> lol
[08:18] <gouki> They were 600 and need to be 664
[08:19] <troy_s> as the page now stands, i also get "framebuster is not defined
[08:19] <troy_s> http://ubuntuweblogs.org/
[08:19] <troy_s> Line 1" from firebug
[08:20] <gouki> Check it now
[08:21] <troy_s> gouki: It works, but firefub still trips
[08:21] <gouki> Does FireBug have anything to say!? I have this love/hate relationship with him :P
[08:21] <troy_s> framebuster is not defined
[08:21] <troy_s> http://ubuntuweblogs.org/
[08:21] <troy_s> Line 1
[08:21] <gouki> Framebuster?
[08:21] <troy_s> <body onload="framebuster()">
[08:21] <troy_s> line nineteen of the skript
[08:22] <troy_s> line 3 of the html?
[08:23] <gouki> I have no idea! :|
[08:24] <gouki> Ohhh! Think I found it.
[08:24] <gouki> Does he still complain?
[08:26] <gouki> troy_s, he probably does. I changed index.html.tmpl and the python scripts only runs in 4 minutes to generate the new index.html
[08:27] <gouki> I'm launching the script manually to see if it fixes the 'framebuster' error
[08:27] <gouki> New index.html generated...
[08:28] <troy_s> gouki: I'll refresh
[08:28] <troy_s> gouki: Firebug likes you again.
[08:28] <gouki> troy_s, LOL
[08:29] <troy_s> gouki: Again, that implementation I gave you is far from optimal -- the composition of the banner the way it ends up in a web page is rather far off left.
[08:29] <troy_s> gouki: But It works.
[08:29] <gouki> troy_s, yeah. And it actually looks good :)
[08:30] <troy_s> gouki: Anyways, if you have any needs, drop me an email and I'll try to pinch them out when I am doing my other routine bits.
[08:31] <gouki> troy_s, thank you very much! :)
[08:31] <troy_s> gouki: No problem.  Just drop me an email.
[08:31] <troy_s> gouki: And loosely restate that I bumped into you on IRC so that my old greymatter doesn't pull a 'wtf'
[08:32] <gouki> troy_s, sure thing. Just got it from your profile on Launchpad. Heheh! OK :)
