You guys, who like the new logo, are too obsessed with robots. I suspect Sebastiaan is big Star Wars fan.

We’ve received an amazing amount of feedback regarding the new Ubiquity logo. There have been convincing arguments for why we should choose a particular logo, and many why we shouldn’t. There have been over a hundred and fifty voices, across the blog posts and twitter. The open-design process has been a wonderful, rich, and educational experience.

Altough I fully understand the choice for ubiquibot (more iconic and memorsiable), I feel that it’s somehow a pitty to go for a “robotty” icon instead of the organic one.

For me ubquity has nothing to do with robots, ubiquity enhances the ‘flow’ of the web from my point of view. Robots remain full of 1’s and 0’s (cfr osx’ automator icon), whereas organic stuff is more about ’somehow’ creating stuff.

Hey Aza!

I really like the robot :) It seems cute enough. Might i suggest that the globe would be the firefox globe, as that would better represent what Ubiquity is. The globe now reminds me of non-branded artwork that more or less fits an Linux distro, but there’s something really appealing about that lil’ robot :)

My 2 cents..

I don’t feel emotionally connected to the Ubiquibot as it looks cold and unfeeling, but maybe it’s just me.

I don’t understand why Ubiquity should be metaphorized as a robot as well; I can’t see the link between the two.

Moreover, the chosen logo is too complicated, and the angle is weird. I would really prefer something simple.

That being said..

I like the concept of the “plug”, but it’s not evident on first glance.

There’s potential in branding and marketing with a robot, even if the metaphor doesn’t seem clear for now. The robot can be characterized to be cute and friendly, and soon everyone will fall in love with it.

I’ll still support Ubiquity whatever the logo is.

[Left] Too generic-looking

[right] Too many details. This is bad for any logo. Looks like a joystick from far away

[Middle] Just right. Color contrast is great. The idea is great. It looks great.

Go with the middle one.

“Does Ubiquibot have any extensions himself (like Firefox ears?)”

I like that idea. Not so much the idea itself, but the idea around it. That Ubiquibot has some personality, perhaps even a secret identity. That he is just another friendly robot, and there are things to be discovered about him.

I’d like to see this aspect of the character emphasized. I’d like to get to know him.

Great work!
