Take a look here: http://armadillo.ffis.de/~cw/debian/lt02/cd/artwork/latest/front-cover.png and look at this tarball: http://www.familie-weerts.de/Linux/Debian/covers-cd_lt03-XCF.tar.bz2 > > > The CD cover needs to contain several "strings" in order not to > > confuse people too much, such as > > > > .

My intention was to take this [1] hand mirroring it so there is a pair of Hands and place the following things on them. On the left I would put the Swirl and on the right hand I would put some Sign for Freedom (maybe a Dove). Above the two hands should be place for a slogan like this: "Remember, all you get is real free..."
