Sorry: this is quick and dirty... and I'll be out for a couple hours.

This is just an initial proposal to get some beginning reactions.

If you've got some creative suggestions, feel free and I'll do my best to implement the better ones.

EDIT: The original file is replaced with 2 proposals, each in two formats: one with a large border and one with the dimensions of the current logo used in these forums.

Attached files:
Proposal 1 & 2, at exactly 202px by 55px (the dimensions of the original Ubuntu Forums Logo).
Proposal 1 & 2 with a larger white border for viewing (not meant to be actual proposals, just stops the text from hitting a black frame when viewing).

I agree that the forums should drop the classic Ubuntu logo/colour and adopt the new branding.

I really like it to say the least but think it lacks colour and rounded borders. Then again it's just me. LOL GL :)

The current logo doesn't have rounded sides.

Try this: in Firefox click the current logo and drag it slowly away from it's upper left corner. Firefox will allow a copy of the logo to be "torn away" from it's mooring. The copy you drag will have square corners.

If the dragging of the logo doesn't seem to work, right-click just underneath the word "Forums" in the current logo (making sure the mouse is a standard pointer and not a link pointer). Then click Select All. You should see the logo suddenly become highlighted. Examine it and you'll see the original logo is a straight up rectangle.

It looks like the current logo has rounded edges. But this is an illusion based on the shape of the
