I've burnt the Ubuntu x86 32Bit Desktop DVD image to a DVD and Lightscribed the logo (from above) onto the topside. I was pleasantly surprised with the result - it could be better, but it's not bad. I also downloaded and modified a potential DVD case insert (https://www.thymox.co.uk/Ubuntu_10.04_DVD_Cover-GIMP.xcf). If anyone fancies making a better logo for Lightscribing (maybe including some text on a circular path), that'd be great.
