Hello Everybody!


Yesterday I submitted my work for the Breezy Badger Developer Mascot Competition. I'd like to share it with you.

There are actually two versions:
- The first one was indended to bring the aspect of breeziness to a limit. I called it BSD (= Badger in the Sky with no Diamonds).
- The second shows the badger a bit saucy, thinking itself to be so cool. So I titled it BBC (= Breezy Badger Cool). I'm a bit worried, it could violate the Trademark Policy (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ubuntu/TrademarkPolicy/) of the ubuntu logo. What do you think?

I also made a sample banner- and a badge-version, since the original images should always be used with a coloured background (huge transparent areas), which might not always be possible.

Comments are welcome. However, nothing can be changed now.
If you are interested in a wallpaper with this mascot you can find one here (http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=129)


attached you'll find some bitmapped versions of the SVG-images

By the way, I just posted another wallpaper with my Breezy Badger mascot suggestion in the Art Gallery section (http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=131). This time with the BBC version.

NOW REPLACED WITH AN IMPROVED VERSION! Really worth a second look.

Enjoy!

lol, I do have to say those are quite funny, and amusing, I would like to see the CD cover be used for Breezy, and the others are great \\:D/

Good Job and well designed :)

Actually, it wasn't indended to be a CD cover (it's not perfectly round though). I just didn't think of it. Perhaps I should create one.

Does anybody know about the exact size of the printable area of CD labels?

I really like the BBC version... so insouciant, in a good way...

Hi there,

I finally made a CD cover and a CD label for Breezy Badger. I attached the gzip'd SVG-file so you can edit it to your needs, in case you want to use them. For preview, I added a relatively small Jpeg-version.

Hope you'll like them.

Seeing some fine concepts from competitors here, I know to rate my chances for the Breezy Badger mascot competition. However, I am still a bit curious about the announcement of the winning mascot (and maybe of those submissions that did not show up in the web beforehand), which already is bit late now.

In the meantime I am just continuing as usual. So I have put a tag (or icon if you like) with a simplyfied badger in the art gallery (see it! (http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=215&c=5)). You can also see (a modified version of) it as my avatar. Maybe it could still be improved in some way. What do you think?
