I'm sure it is a great deal of work... packagers and the rest of people, we just raise our hands into the sky and pray for stuff to happen... Often a miracle happens and things get done by themselves. Maybe 'artists' are the only ones who 'work' in openSUSE. > > Wouldn't it make more sense to use the 12.2 wallpaper? > > > > The current state of the 12.2 wallpaper can be found in the openSUSE art gitorious repo > it isn't finished, if you want a completed design, what's wrong with the 12.1 wallpaper - which is probably the version you're currently basing your spin on anyhow. > > > None of our projects other 'spins' - openSUSE Education, Tumbleweed, etc, have their own art direction, and I would be nervous about committing my time and effort to a side project that is yet to demonstrate user uptake. As I am getting nervous in commiting mine to ear such things... :/ I just wish Sirko was here. > > > Having it's own logo makes sense and is much less work - that's the norm for our side spins, banning text however disqualifies the possibility of basing your logo on any other logo we currently have in use.. > Why is text out of the question? You are the designer, you above all else should know the answer... let's say, it's a marketing thing. > > > > -- Nelson Marques /* http://www.marques.so nmo.marques@gmail.com */ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
