JauntyCountdownBanners
Countdown banners for Ubuntu 9.04
Post your ideas for a countdown banner here. Guidelines are:
- width: 180px
- height: 150px
- optimized png, gif or jpg, or
- iframe containing interactive content (using static html, css, js and images - no PHP)
- no flash - must work perfectly with only free software
A successful implementation will countdown the days from the Beta to final release. This means 30 images numbered 1 - 30 plus one for day 0 that says "coming soon" and one more that says "it's here" (32 images total).
For reference see the IntrepidCountdownBanners
Post your drafts and mockups here along with any extra information you feel is useful then send a message to the web presence team mailing list so we can discuss it.
A few of the best will be selected to be syndicated from www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown and one of the best that harmonizes well with the Ubuntu website's colors and look will be shown on the Ubuntu.com homepage.
Simple Jaunty Countdown
I have used some of the 3 color tints of ubuntu logo, and I wanted to keep it simple. Here it is!

Countdown by MadsRH
I made these two examples without the actual Ubuntu font installed (it's a long story), so the text will look much better in future versions (if any). This first one is SUSE inspired 
GDM inspired
Wikipedia Jackalope
Taken from a photo from the Wikipedia page on the jackalope, mostly a joke but hopefully a good example!
