Hi Zoltan,

Agreed that these should be combined, but I think the branding here should
be Ubuntu (the icon). This is the Ubuntu SDK and the Welcome screen should
reflect that it is an Ubuntu SDK, but then the technology encased within it
is Qt. Overall I think the look and feel of the SDK should look very
"Ubuntu", but we should be very open about how we Qt/QML as our foundation.
