I can provide SVG (vector) graphics for the CD. Is there any template I should use? Should I add some "padding" to the borders of the disc? Also, is there a vector version of the On-Disk.com logo? I think it would be awesome to ship every release with a different CD graphics. We would of course provide those. Let's get this thing going first, though :) Thanks again. -- Pasi Lallinaho Xubuntu Marketing Lead Web-designer, graphic artist IRC: knome @ freenode -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
