Yes and no. We want the artwork for some reason and that is to promote conference. So even if we will have great poster with old Challenger and lady in bikini, I don't think it is a good artwork for conference. Unless it will be parked before the university and have Geeko painted all over it. As well as some abstract art styles wouldn't serve that well. Yes, we can put it on wall inside. But generally we want to relay some message and be a reminder of the conference. But we are getting off-topic here and I thing this doesn't deserve any deeper discussion. And we are just speaking about the same thing we want just in different words ;-) Rest assured, I think we are on the same page and don't think we are being critical of each other, just different approach of wording and

These are all interesting comments. I believe there is good reason to take all of these comments into account. First, Warhol used his paintings to be iconic, to draw attention and make a simple, but strong connection, with celebrities of the time. He used strong colors in a very reduced color palette to expand on the idea of simple colors. I think, if anything, we are trying to imitate the "spirit" of these creation rather than recreating a Warhol in the 21st century. The idea with this logo-poster was to draw in some eyes into it through the use of strong colors and a simplified color palette. To stick with openSUSE colors for this would have meant to bury the logo into a color palette that belongs to our distribution desktop version rather than a poster to promote an openSUSE activity. Michal, I didn't know you had an interest in artwork. You should definitively join out team. Especially if you have an eye for what's good taste and design. Please participate. Add yourself to the mailing list and join us on #opensuse-artwork. In the mean time I will wait until there is more official word, aka Jos, about what we can do for the logo to be used as or what variations should be made. Either way Michael and I also had a hard time finding some good color combinations and themes. We are all glad to see that at least, our work provokes a healthy conversation. Then it has accomplished the work it was supposed to do. Please define some ideas that you would like to see on the artwork for the conference, not so stringent, and we can modify accordingly.
