Hi again.
my wife helped me with the artistic part of my inkscape work for our entry in the openSUSE-12.1 Artwork competition: http://www.zq1.de/~bernhard/linux/opensuse/12.1/opensuse-12.1-draft9.svg.png

The directory also contains earlier versions and svg source.
I used the colors from http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Artwork_guidelines Butter and Lemon colors for the background gradient and Sky color for the Bezier curves with an added white band - all slightly transparent to better merge into the whole.
"You are not limited to using colors solely from this palette for your designs"
Maybe the background could still be improved...
I have used your gradient and added a mathematical element:

And another one:

while the math is nice, it appears to me a bit too technical while the background is rather plain/dull.
I improved our first draft towards http://www.zq1.de/~bernhard/linux/opensuse/12.1/opensuse-12.1-draft13e.svg.p...
hmm I can't see that big difference. Also I am not a big fan of distro logos on Wallpapers. Most of the other big distributions are not containing logos on wallpapers any more, too (e.g. Fedora, Ubuntu...).

Just my opinion here. But the main reason why I like Marcus's samples is because it is somewhat darker. Both Bernard's and Marcus's samples are definitely very pretty, but Bernard's is way too bright for me and my eyes are sensitive to bright things. Again, just my opinion.
