Lightscribe Label for Ubuntu

[idrailgag]

Here is a Lightscribe CD label I made for Ubuntu 7.04, 64bit. I didn't save the Photoshop file. Sorry, but changing the version, or changing 64bit isn't too hard.This looks great on an orange Lightscribe disc.

That's what I need a lightscribe DVD burner...

How much are the lightscribe discs? More expensive?

Usually, but they're worth it. And now there are multiple colors available, not just gold.

If you want to do some of your own CD lables (I'm working on one for edubuntu right now), check out VectorMagic - http://vectormagic.stanford.edu/ - I used it to vectorize the edu-logo so I could blow it up for CD size.

Here's what I came up with, you can use it in 4L, but you need to resize it a bit, and shift it. The "arm" on the logo will run off the edge of the CD, no real way around that.

The placement of the version number means it will be easy to erase and re-enter for future use.

You could also use inkscape (it traces bitmaps and turns them into vectors).

does anyone have a picture of this on a cd? i would like to see the final result. i am planning on purchasing a lightscribe drive.

Here is what I came up for Gutsy.



I really don't know how to use Gimp, so I think there is darned much to improve on it, but I just wanted to test my Lightscribe-discs.

I should have made the little gibbon bigger, but I was in kind of hurry. There is one Gutsy gibbon hanging on to Linux for you guys

I would say if you used the official logo and the Ubuntu title font, then that label would look great!

Heh, thanks. Have to look into that.
