Well it is a bit busy :) But it was only as an idea, if some who is more artistically inclined than me can use this link I posted as an idea for a less busy one. I was recently sorting through some papers in my desk at home and came across my notes from the SIGGRAPH 2005 conference in Boston. One quote I captured in those notes that struck me most strongly (I had circled and underlined it a few times) was to the effect of: Ideas are a dime a dozen, but for someone to take the initiative to make them happen is priceless. Interpret as you will :) And no, you don't need artistic talent yourself to make artwork happen. ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

I'm not an artist but a photographer and art critic and I have an eye for combining things. I can see fedora logo in the hands of that person and it would make a great wallpaper. The idea is this: In the background (bw looks great but also pale fedora colors would work) there are all the symbols and tools for taking away freedom and in the center you see fedora logo that represents freedom in color as it overcomes all that in background.

Re: [F9 theme proposal] (Also Freedom :)) Round 1
I'm not being mean or anything, but I don't think having war stuff in the wallpaper is a good idea, I don't wanna see war whenever I open my computer. Honestly, I'll change the theme if that is actually the default for F9. Sorry for being rude, but I really hate war! I'm from Iraq if that helps :D Cheers! :) On Monday 31 December 2007 01:33:43 Valent Turkovic wrote: Hi, I could't give this another name, because it just screams freedom and freedom already exists but it is a different theme (or it is not) and involves chains.

I'm from Croatia (we had a war for independence 15 years ago, so I know war in person not from TV). I would like to see some strong and bold from Fedora 9 theme, for me fedora 8 theme is the weakest and blandest to date and it is the ONLY theme I changed, and I used fedora since FC5.
