Ubuntu visual identity

Design
Drum roll please....
After a *lot* of amazing effort from the Canonical design team I am pleased to announce that preliminary Ubuntu visual identity is online and available to all!.

If you've never worked through such a process before the amount of work truly involved will astound you. Every piece fits perfectly into a well-thought master plan and is lovingly executed.
