KDE menu button should have a Kubuntu Logo

[Samuel J Sarette]

Kubuntu users feel more like just KDE users. KDE in (K)ubuntu lacks so much branding, that it's hard to identify with the OS. It'd be easier to identify with Kubuntu/Ubuntu if the menu button had the kubuntu logo.

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

Note that this is not universally agreed by the kubuntu developers. We already have a Kubuntu logo in the kickoff menu (which could be improved a lot) and we generally like shipping artwork and other settings in line with upstream.

Jonathan, if consensus is reached, will you please either mark this Invalid or Confirm it? Thank you.

I would also prefer KDE logo to Kubuntu logo, but I am the last one to decide it... (I agree with Jonathan and the KDE logo, in my opinion, fits better within other square shaped icons in the bar.)

[Rafael Belmonte (eaglescreen)]

Please add the kubuntu-menu.png icon also in lucid.
And in my opinion set it as default KDE Menu icon would be nice.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Nothing to do with kde4libs

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

At the least, the icon will be included in the next kubuntu-default-settings release as a manual option: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-members/kubuntu-default-settings/ubuntu/revision/342

Can there be something like popularity contest to inform us how many people chose the Kubuntu icon compared to how many keep the original K-gear?

That's probably asking a lot, but I'm curious.

[Roman Shtylman (shtylman)]

can this be closed as a won't fix? or maybe even fix released if it is available in the default settings? No need for it to hang around open if we have a solution.

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

We should IMHO define exactly how much branding is necessary and acceptable.

[Samuel J Sarette (lunarcloud)]

Aye, I thought branding was a part of the Project Timelord outline.

Btw, I love the new logo as a Kmenu button. Great job.
I'm happy to have this as a optional icon that comes with the initial install.
