ubuntu studio logo

[jijin]

does anybody have a good vector for ubuntu studio?

any vector format will do. I have most vectoring programs and can convert most others.

svg would be perfect though


thanks in advance

EDIT: I have looked in the official UbSt art site and there is no vector.

Is this what you want? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio...OfficialFeisty

there is no vector there ... thanks though... I'm looking for a vector of that logo, so I can easily resize it.

preferably in a svg ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalable_Vector_Graphics )

again thanks ahead of time.... also if sombody does have one how do we get the official artwork updated for the gutsy release of UbuStu?

It is an SVG, i just downloaded it my desktop. I'll put it here for you:

erm ok... I didn't see one there

but THANKS!

[jijin]

is there a cleaner, higher resolution version?

no offence but that one is ugly and still has the gradiated glow.

Thanks though paul

I tried todo something with it but it didn't quite work

All i can really suggest is using that image as a reference, having it on it's own layer in inkscape and tracing round it. Shouldn't take too long to do using paths/bezier curves. You can get the font through synaptic: 'sudo apt-get install ttf-ubuntu-title' That's half the work done for you. I don't know what the other half of the logo font is though, google might tell you. The gimp opens SVG's but i wouldn't suggest using that as it ruins them.

Oh, and you didn't offend me. Good luck!

I just downloaded it and opened it up in Inkscape. From there I was able to 'ungroup' the object and separate everything into it's component pieces. So if the reflection glow is not what you want, you can take the rest of it without that. I saw no gradient problems on my end.

What application are you using to view/edit the svg file?

Since it is a scalable vector graphic I can export it to a variety of resolutions without losing quality. It's not something you can just cut and paste into the Gimp (I don't think).

How do you do that richardq? I have not really used inkscape that much but that sounds like a handy thing to know.

Ok. First you open up the svg file in inkscape.

When you click on it, it will be one single large object (including the reflection).

If you look on the status bar at the bottom of the window while it is selected, it will tell you that it is a group of 17 objects. This means that it is composed of 17 objects but has been grouped together as a single object.

While the object is selected, go Object->Ungroup in the menus. This will split it up. You'll see now that all the objects are selected separately.

Hit ESC to deselect all objects and then click on the part you want. If you want to select more than one part, hold shift while clicking. You can then move these pieces around if you like or stretch and modify them.

Now if you want to create a bitmap image (png file) of part of the image, then select the objects you want to export, and then choose File->Export Bitmap...

Pick the output filename and path and the size of the bitmap you want to create. The beauty of working with a n SVG (vector format) is that you can pick virtually any resolution you want. So you could export just the ubuntu studio icon to a 100x100 png file or a 1500x1500 png file.

Note: It will only export directly to a png file. So you'll then have to use another app (like GIMP) to convert the png to jpeg if you need it.

Hope that helps.
