This is the place to post your ideas for the Gutsy artwork, most importantly the wallpaper. The goal is to get back to something as unique and beautiful as included in Breezy

Note that we are removing the splash screen shown just after logging in as it tends to take more time to load the splash than there is time to show it.

--- I have uploaded a few pictures of mine, take a look and see if you like them. I know they don't conform to the Ubuntu palette, but I'll search for more pictures and fine ones that do. I'm mainly looking for feedback on whether or not this is the kind of stuff we are looking for.

All three of these are too visually busy. I think you need to keep things simpler/subtler so that the actual /icons/ on the Desktop remain as the main focus. alex@weej.com

--- Heres another idea, just a basic sketch of my idea to have flowing Ubuntu logos across the screen as a background. Keep in mind its not complete. Send me feedback.

Hey again. I'm sort of having a hard time figuring out how to make a minimalistic background since most of the things I make are usually visually complicated. Bear with me, its just about learning a new style. Here's another sketch of an idea.

The background is still a bit bland, I'm still working out something for it. --Justin
