Re: base banner style for f11 leonidas artwork

Hi Martin! - Original Message From: Martin Sourada martin.sour...@gmail.com (sorry about the extraneous useless message, my mail client is braindead sometimes) Thanks for the feedback! :) These two look great. Although, wouldn't it be better to call it kde-splash (since, unlike the gnome one, it is enabled by default)? We'll be doing a gnome splash either way. This is meant to just be a quick example of one of the many splashes we do just to see an application of the style idea. The KDE splash will necessitate a slightly different design because of the particulars of how those are done. I am unsure which would be better though, perhaps I'm slightly more inclined towards the one with the 'fedora' word, rather than the logo. Yeh, I'm not sure either but I'm leaning more towards the logotype alone as well. But come to think of it, would it be desirable/worth a try to promote the four foundations there - i.e. putting there the four F's logo? I think it might fit well within the design. Mixing the four f's into the theme doesn't strike me as being particularly appropriate. Having an alternate theme that uses the four F's would be cool though. I think Clint is working on something like that. (If you're reading, do you have more details Clint?) And about the banners - they seem over too simple to me, there're lots of deaf space there (just simple gradient and nothing more taking up a lot of space). Starting with the second one and add some more details (not sure though, what would fit there) to the currently plain blue background might help. Also, what are these banners for? IIRC in anaconda these are shorter and thus the deaf spots would be reduced to practically nil. They aren't actual banners, they are just design mockups to show a treatment of a Greek motif along with the Fedora logo and colors. Just to kind of give the feel...
