I didn't run a pool or forum thread on our local language website, I only have impressions from the IRC channel. I hear complaints about the landscape photoshoping(gimping), is too obvious the different pieces were taken from various sources and put together. I also saw the opinion it looks like an image from the game Age of the Empires 1. But usually when seeing the change to the Lion, they usually shut up and are happy. But I take those with a grain of salt, people like a lot the F7 "Flying High", which I consider bad. IMO, the most insightful opinion I saw about the Greek landscape came on #fedora-art from Diego, a Brazilian guy living these days in Greece and working on Transifex: "but in Greece they almost don't have grass, so the green part of the bg was a bit out of context" and that was a big "Duh!" for me, since I was one wanting for more and more green. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Artwork feedback
Hi everyone, I've followed closely the discussions about the new graphical elements for the upcoming Leonidas release and I have noticed that you regret a lack of feedback from the users. So, I have asked my fellow french friends from the fedora-fr forum what they think about the different propositions ... and they answered me... What has been highlighted (I hope that my poor english will stay understandable for everyone, sorry for the awful mistakes) : - The trend is : people tend to prefer the lion, but think that the first thing they will do is to change the background. - About the lion : 3 people out of 15 found it nice, but mostly found it inappropriate for an 'official' distro wallpaper. A lot of people clearly disliked it because the 'lion' figure has been overused in the popular culture (movies, cars, food). "baroque" has been used to describe the proposition. - About the landscape : the technical graphic aspects aside, those who have expressed something about it found the idea ok but not that original and too much Windows XP-like. To say that differently, it doesn't convey a strong concept, something that can 'catch' an user. - A lot of people have expressed a strong adhesion to the F7 and F10 themes and suggest to do something like F7 but maybe with a ship to illustrate the idea "go forward" in the same way the balloons of the F7 did for "reach higher"(mmmh... am i _really- clear ?). The boat was cited by 7 people. To sum up, the Lion Idea was judged too exuberant but can be acceptable with a reduced and much more stylised lion head. If you replace the lion by a boat, you reach a relative consensus among french users. Themes for F7 and F10 are seen as the best. You can follow the discussion (google translated,) here : http://translate.google.fr/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.fedora-fr.org%2Fviewtopic.php%3Fid%3D40371&sl=fr&tl=en&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8 I hope you will find this helpful. Of course, it is just the opinion of a few french fedora users. -- David Leray ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
