Richard, http://www.sysrich.co.uk/121wallpaper/draft9.png I love this one for a few aspects, though while I believe it would be awesome for a wallpaper, it wouldn't be so much attractive on a splash screen. But this is why I like it: 1. The absence of solid and sharp shapes - This is important to me because the human brain will try to make the users focus on sharp and solid shapes to identify and process them. It's because of this that people get tired after some time from watching to a wallpaper. So in a way you've kept it to the minimum which eventually is good and won't tire so much the users. 2. No text - Text shouldn't be allowed in wallpapers or splashscreens, in fact it's for example one of the basic rules on Fedora Design Team. This brings technical problems on scalling images and other tiny aspects. 3. Green - Despite green provides some technical dificulties (as Will mentioned earlier, unless the monitors are properly calibrated it might appear in different tones in different monitors/chipsets), it's one of the most widely accepted colors by people (cognitive thingie). Furthermore, green is one of the few colors which check without issues in most cultures, thus removing some cultural barriers that other colors have, which is awesome for us since we are a universal distribution. This to say, it's the one which would suit my needs, but like I said before, while it's nice for a wallpaper, I'm not really sure if it would fit well for a splash image. Good job, this submission has my vote. NM 2011/9/22 Richard Brown :

Hi All,

I know voting has already begun in our quick poll but I'd like you to consider these my refined versions of my previous drafts

First, one based on the black background with green elements, but with all the text and excess clutter removed.

and then for fun, added a Geeko in the middle

realising that most dont like dark backgrounds, also made a brighter one, which I'm really quite happy with how it came out

and again, with a Geeko

Please consider these over my previous submissions, unless you really really prefer my previous submissions, in which case, thanks!

Maybe, but it's not helpful if you only take part in discussion and are not willed to help working towards our aims.

sorry, but I don't think artwork have to be limited to artists. there are lot of good things here, why couldn't I give my advice?

every body can give his on my own work

jdd NB: do you think really such discussion is usefull?
