We got it! What you ask? The missing letter “K” in the new font that is part of the whole rebranding process for Ubuntu and family. I got home from enjoying the beautiful weather here in Chicago and good ol’ Jonathan Riddell asked if I could make a new Plymouth theme for Kubuntu using the new logo. 30 seconds later, and we have the following:

We are aware that it looks a bit cruddy with people using NVIDIA proprietary drivers. Once it is figured out on the Plymouth end, I am sure we will have something new by then, so please bear with us. Thank you!

Tonight I quickly threw together a Plymouth theme for Kubuntu. I borrowed the ubuntu-logo theme and edited it to fit Kubuntu better by changing the background colors, the color of the progress dots, and added a glowing Kubuntu logo. The logo is temporary as we await our new branding logos. As soon as we get that, we will put those in, and tweak the theme as needed.

I am aware of the clipped edges in the following screenshot, and this will be fixed in subsequent releases.
