In my experience it takes time to develop a good graphic design (here: log-in screen / default wallpaper).
So just in case this has not been done already, briefing the designers now would not be wrong. There's enough information available now to give them an idea of what Leap is about.
That way they would have enough time to come up with a good draft.
And a better one if the first one goes up in flames. ;)

There is a graphic design team for openSUSE.
Let's hope they have subscribed to this list. ;)
I'm sorry, they have their own list: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-artwork/
Perhaps, it would be a good tactic to start a discussion with them by subscribing and posting to their communications channel for a short discussion of the Leap 42 decisions made thus far?
Good idea. I'll do that.
I took a look at that list before I posted my suggestion here. The last post was as of Apr 9 2015. So I thought it might be dead.
And my suggestion was more meant as a reminder: "Guys, don't forget the graphic design It will take some time to develop - if you want it to be good."
I was a bit surprised by Andres Betts' reaction because for me it was a sure thing that the graphics-people would love to do some work for a release with a name like "Leap 42.1".
If I were a graphic designer I would take it as an invitation! And not as a troublesome burden.
But people are different, right?

I guess what bothers me about this discussion is that it is focused on small communication that creates a ton of emails for people who may not be so interested in reading the back and forth. So I ask that we please move on from "Andy says this, I think that, I like what you said there but not over there, etc etc." The best people to contact here are probably those that have made a wallpaper previously. Historically that has been Richard and Marcus. They have probably placed more wallpapers on our distros than the rest of us at #artwork. That is great experience and they might probably be willing to create a new wallpaper for Leap. They also have the technical knowledge to add that to the sources from which we build Leap. Other good people to reach out to are Victor and Tigerfoot. They are awesome! I generally do editing, so while I would not create the wallpaper I can offer feedback and ideas inspired on a base design. Also, it was mentioned on the communication before to have a good marketing idea for Leap that could be translated into design. For example, when we have created wallpapers for the distribution in the past, we have looked for ideas in past designs, mottos, people, places, brand, etc. Out of which good artwork has come out. Do you have any subjects that designers could use to design a wallpaper for Leap? If so, where do they come from? What is the reasoning for such theme? How does the the subject advance the brand, marketing and the community?
