I have a complaint! I'm not impressed with how the Gimp handles text. In future I will try to do all my text in a vector program. Nice wallpapers Cowboy.
Heres another one to add to the collection.

I am impressed, love the reflection of text, can you do that with logo?

Hows that?
To do a reflection you;

1. Duplicate the layer you want to reflect
2. Flip the layer vertically and align it directly beneath the original
3. Create a new layer and make a rectangular selection around what is to be the reflection
4. Use a Black to White gradient and apply it vertically to your selection (make sure black is on the bottom)
5. Set layer style to multiply (this gets rid of the white).

You might have to redo the gradient a few times to get the affect you want, also I apply a bit of Gaussian Blur to the reflection to make it look a bit more realistic.

Thanks spider for the "How to" others will know..it can be applied or used with other programs with similar capabilities also.

Some excellent art work here... You may have the chance to make the offical logo for Ultimate Edition I recieved an email the 18th and responded today here is the offical info thus far...

Hi,

I'm Jane Silber, COO of Canonical. I wrote to you several months ago
about the use of the Ubuntu trademarks in your product and website but
didn't get a reply. I thought I'd send another message in the event
that for some reason you never received the first one.

While we greatly appreciate your enthusiasm for Ubuntu, and appreciate
the time and effort you devote to the project, I'm afraid there are
trademark related issues with your project. We've tried to define a
reasonable trademark policy that allows people to customise Ubuntu, and

use the marks to promote the project, while at the same preserving the
integrity of the marks. In case you haven't seen it, that policy is at

http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy

There are several distinct but related issues with the Ultimate
Edition and ubuntusoftware.info. Specifically,

- Ultimate Edition includes software which fundamentally is not
Ubuntu, and calling it such confuses people and damages the Ubuntu
project. People should know what they're getting when they install
something called Ubuntu. We certainly encourage people to make custom
versions of Ubuntu, and we have established the "remix" concept and
terminology to allow use of the trademark if the changes are minimal or

include only software from the Ubuntu repositories. But we can't let
something which is significantly different from Ubuntu (which your
product is) to be called Ubuntu. Hosting your own repositories also
means that people aren't using Ubuntu software. It is of course fine to

host repositories and distribute the software - the issue is that you
are attaching the brand, quality and assurance messages of the Ubuntu
marks to something which is not Ubuntu.

- the website itself is also misleading. We allow people to use the
word
Ubuntu in domains that are non-profit, community advocacy sites. But
your site is a promotional site for a different product (not Ubuntu, as

explained above). Additionally, it is designed and written in a way
which easily confuses people into thinking that it actually is from the

Ubuntu project. The use of the Ubuntu logo, the design, the domain
itself, the repositories all mislead people into thinking they are
using
Ubuntu.

I'm happy to talk about this on the phone if you prefer. I can call
you,
or I can be reached at +44 20 7630 2472. Again, I'd like to stress
that
we appreciate your enthusiasm for Ubuntu, and that the basic activities

of what you are doing is fine - it's one of the freedoms and powers
provided by open source software. But I'm afraid that using the Ubuntu

name and logo (in product name, on website, etc) to refer to your own
product/project (i.e, not Ubuntu) simply doesn't work and needs to be
changed.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Jane

My response:

Jane,

I am sorry it has taken so long to respond, I received no prior email, email was probably not setup at the time. It is usually quite busy around here. I am willing to work with you to rectify this situation, if you would like the name of the O/S changed this is not a problem, If you would like all traces of using the customised ubuntu logo, also not a problem, I do not profit from Ubuntu I have been asked to accept donations and have turned them down, stating "it should be free as in beer" I do describe in fairly good detail what they are downloading to be built using Reconstructor based on Ubuntu, is not of Canonical and provide Trademarks. I also provide a tutorial how to make your own.

Please explain in detail page by page if necessary what needs to be changed.

Best regards,

[cowboy]
