[opensuse-project] Leap: Graphic design
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. ;) Rainer Fiebig -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

I wonder if this is really necessary. We have a few flavors of openSUSE around already and changing the wallpaper is a good idea, however, I don’t know that we I (just myself) could commit to changing it constantly. A good wallpaper takes time. I vote for just keeping the same wallpaper across or choosing a different one that is already included with KDE or Gnome. I personally think that only doing wallpapers is really not beneficial and it is a weak effort that does not build a strong brand. By that I mean that the effort to change a wallpaper should generally be accompanied by other brand elements that could show throughout the distribution, but we don’t have the manpower or dev willingness to work on that. Again, let’s probably keep the choices made for one distribution across all the others.

A good wallpaper takes time.
That's why I wrote this. And your reaction shows me that this was spot-on! ;)
I vote for just keeping the same wallpaper across or choosing a different one that is already included with KDE or Gnome.
One could do that. The easy way out. But as I see it, Leap is a major opportunity for openSUSE. It's kind of a re-launch (or revival?) of the regular release - with a new and unique concept, a new name and a long-term horizon. Therefore, setting it graphically a bit apart from the other releases seems a rather logic idea to me. Perhaps it deserves some extra-effort. To be frank: it obviously does.
I personally think that only doing wallpapers is really not beneficial and
Not "only" a wallpaper. The login-screen (the first impression) would be another and more important element. Would be nice though if both would share common traits.
it is a weak effort that does not build a strong brand. By that I mean that the effort to change a wallpaper should generally be accompanied by other brand elements that could show throughout the distribution, but we don’t have the manpower or dev willingness to work on that.
I wasn't suggesting a brand-building campaign for openSUSE. Just a fresh login-screen and a wallpaper for Leap. Seems like a really manageable task for the average graphics designer. And an exceptionally good one to show his/her talent!
Again, let’s probably keep the choices made for one distribution across all the others.
On the contrary! Tumbleweed and Leap for instance are VERY different beasts. Using the same graphic-design for both would not make sense. Those elements that are building the openSUSE-identity should be the same, sure. But that goes without saying.

The more I think about it, the more I'm disappointed by your reaction. In the real world ANY graphic designer or advertising agency would CRAVE to get the contract! Because they'd immediately recognize the significance of it. To help you see it, too: http://news.softpedia.com/news/opensuse-leap-42-is-a-new-version-that-will-c... Think about it.

Sorry for answering earlier message, but I have to. For many years SuSE then SUSE and then openSUSE felt more consistent than other distros. Other distros indeed went the simple road: default grub, simplest plymouth screen, default login screen, default wallpaper that comes with the desktop. Yet in every release of openSUSE the picture and style was consistent, like in real finished product and not half-baked solution. So, maybe to get more-or-less consistent user experience it would be enough to have some sort of script that will apply the same wallpaper image to: 1. grub background 2. simplest plymouth fade-out theme 3. SDDM/GDM/KDM 4. ksplash I would guess that 3 and 4 can be done by simple symlinks, but probably little harder for grub theme and plymouth theme, at least plymouth needs initrd refreshing. But still, can it be done in principle? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

In the meantime, we know that there's a new website coming
I would mostly used was (from the community part) ... unfortunately. But we still have a mailing list at opensuse-artwork archives here http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-artwork/ could explain why, what we are here. presented at osc15 and available (draft) http://cyntss.github.io/opensuse-landing-page/ contributions welcomed here https://github.com/cyntss/opensuse-landing-page The 2 mains product have already a logo (proposal) and I guess it would not be rocket science to have a shade of green different for both, with maximizing the reuse of existing. It will not be that simple but the objective could be Have a Green1 for tumbleweed and Green2 for Leap. Building a branding set (the several package) can then "just" apply that color match + specific logo, and done. Afterward, only small corrections can be done. Jay : just a precision, having just another splash screen is not just click,clap and its done.

What about leaping from one galaxy to another? Consider Quantum jumping is the process by which a person can envision some desired result or state of being that is clearly very different from the existing situation ... and by clearly observing that possibility and supplying enough energy, make a leap into that alternate reality. The idea behind quantum jumping is that while we seldom consciously realize it, we are living in a multiverse of parallel universes. Usually, these alternate realities have no connection to one another. A quantum jump can be made through a kind of handshake through time and space. this connection forms a bridge that allows someone experiencing a quantum jump to literally end up in another reality. The connection is so total that a person can literally walk into another place and time. The graphics can be amazing! Cheers!

Greg We have some branding guidelines here https://opensuse.github.io/branding-guidelines/ so whatever we come up with should fit with that, it also needs to be easy for designers to work with, in a lot of cases the kde / gtk / enlightenment themes get tweeked a bit to make them fit with whatever is selected and currently
