The second one (personal openion)! That seems a bit darker but more close to the Ubuntu orange (as specified in Ubuntu's Brand Assets). While the other one is far from this (but seems that's what recommended by Jono Bacon, Ubuntu Community Manager, in his website as linked by Oli in his post) and looks somewhat a blend of the community-feel Ubuntu Orange and commercial-indicating Canonical Aubergine, and may be that's the intention - cover both community and commercial software packages with that shade ?!

Some guidelines for correct use of Ubuntu logo; you must not…

Change the spacing between the individual elements or characters

Change the colour of the wordmark

Change the colour of the Circle of Friends

Change the arrangement of the elements

Place the logo at an angle other than horizontal or vertical

Change the proportion of the logo

Place the logo on a non brand colour

Some easily noticed features in the compared buttons:

  • Ubuntu Orange? Or Orange? [Button1 - ???; Button2 + orange blends]

  • Colour of Circle of Friends? [Button1 - ???; Button2 + white]

  • Roundel? It's colour? [Button1 + white; Button2 - ???]

  • Looks good? [Button1 + Y; Button2 - ?]

Something probably needs an update..
