I love the QR code, very funky.... tho that green looks vile on my monitor... might need calibrating (must make an Oyranos disk)
As Nuno pointed out to me, green is the colour worst represented by monitors, so by choosing a shade of green we are committing ourselves to fail on 50% of our users' hardware.
How many of us do calibrate our monitor with a pantone? Besides, the important is that the person who does the work has their own monitor calibrated. Since this is just a wallpaper and not a branding image or something to be used on printing, I don't see much of a trouble. You can not hold ourselves responsible for people not having their monitors calibrated, do we ?
But it's a barcode, not a QR code. How about something inspired by QR codes? They are sort-of now. Have you noticed that brands are using the built in redundancy in QR codes to make readable QRs that contain non-pixel elements?
what about in one of those dusty 1970s orange tones? (as an option)...
Yes, break the greenopoly! With all the grass green in the SUSE offices, on the walls, on t-shirts, I think I may start suffering some kind of retinal burnout soon.
