Since we are still in a initial session for the official F11 theme, I've used a simple image to point the birth of a new fedora version. http://pleoni.altervista.org/fedora11-banner-alpha5.png http://pleoni.altervista.org/fedora11-banner-alpha5.svg http://pleoni.altervista.org/fedora11-banner-alpha6.png http://pleoni.altervista.org/fedora11-banner-alpha6.svg The great music of the Boss (a.k.a. Bruce Springsteen) has inspired these :-) About background image copyright: the image is a piece of a sunset photo that I've taken personally. If is necessary I'll provide the original photo. I had a constructive comment to make, but I think it might apply to more upcoming Fedora 11 work than just your banners -- which are lovely! Excuse my lack of familiarity with the precise jargon used for describing fonts and spacing: Our complementary font used for our artwork is the MgOpen Modata font, and in this font, the numeral 1 has quite a bit of space around it. That means that the number 11 as in Fedora 11 looks very oddly spaced compared to other text elements. Wherever we write 11 I'd recommend that people use the manual kerning (?) function in Inkscape to move these numerals closer together. If we can do this in a standard way, that's fine -- or if we just leave it to the eye, expecting that if it's way out of balance someone will identify that problem and tweak the design, that's fine too. I just thought it was worth mentioning as we head into the time where people are working on banners that might include 11. I now have the Good Eleven song from Schoolhouse Rock in my head! :-D -- Paul W.

Yes, it is called kerning and is easily adjustable in Inkscape (Alt + to decrease the spacing and Alt + to increase it) and in Gimp (where we have a text spacing spin button).
