I believe USCarbon1 is the one with logo.

Also, we can make changes after that, if we really need to, so no big hurry. Since Zak has not been around much, I've taken the role as art lead. So, I will do the final decision, but we should have a discussion about which one is suitable as default. Also, the default does not have to be one of these, though it would be nice. I like HotWheel. I'm slightly bothered by the CoF not being in the middle of the image. I'm sure the artist wanted to make up for the flames on the left side, but it gives it a slightly skewed impression to me. Also, it's a bit upward from the centre. All in all, it feels strange to me. But, if we would prefer this one, we could work together with the artist to find the perfect default wallpaper for us. Besides working with the symmetry, another thing I would try is change the coloring. A blue flame would probably be the best fit for us, even if the original is "cooler" as an image. I any case, I would like to add something blue to it. There are a lot of things you could try to make the wallpaper a better fit for us as a default. I'll contact the artist to see if he would be interested in working more on it. Other than HotWheel, I don't get a clear feeling for a default wallpaper. There are some nice images there, no doubt. But, none of them are perfectly suitable as the default. I'm a little uncertain about the two wallpapers that I designed (I didn't add them to the contest, btw). They were not production ready in any way. I was working on a new one for trusty, before Zak came along, and then abandoned my work (I did the one for 13.10). So, I would like to remove the one with the logo at least. That one is not meant to be a wallpaper anyway. So, please add whatever comes in 17th place, currently. If someone has strong feelings for whatever comes at 18th place, I would happily remove my other one too. Sorry to not speak before the contest. I wasn't thinking. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
