Contribute to Art and Design
From its trademark circle of friends logo, distinct colour scheme and immediately recognizable font, Ubuntu has long had an iconic look in the open source world. Members of the community who share a passion for art and design have a number of outlets to demonstrate their abilities.

Vanilla is the design system that powers Ubuntu websites and Canonical products. Designers and engineers alike can contribute by proposing new components and patterns, filing bugs, improving documentation or suggesting accessibility and usability enhancements.
Explore the full design contribution guide for details on the process. You can:
- Start with an idea to open a discussion.
- Develop it into a design proposal with sketches, annotations, or documentation.
