My suggestion would be to make each wallpaper tie in with the animal name. Like there were some pretty cool Gibson graphics being used on tshirts and the like but why couldn't they have been used as part of the wallpaper? They would have been just as striking as the new Heron one.

I think there is perhaps a side benefit to using the animal name as every graphical designer gets 8 months heads up on the next name and hence the next theme of the graphic, so there should be no reason why come release time you wont have a bunch of cool graphics to choose from.

Gutsy's wallpaper looked like a Vista lookalike. Please don't just copy other desktops.]]> Mon, 10 Mar 2008 19:03:52 +0000 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 20:16:36 +0000 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:08:52 +0000 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:13:57 +0000 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 01:05:42 +0000
I've already used the Hardy Heron artwork for a 8.04 cover:

WOW!!!!!! This is head and shoulders better than any linux DVD covers I've seen. This shows the potential of what you can do with one strong graphic used across many aspects of the Ubuntu branding.]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 11:20:46 +0000 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 12:24:19 +0000
And then the "old" wallpapers could be released into a Classic Ubuntu Wallpapers package or something like that. ;)]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 12:25:50 +0000 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 19:21:32 +0000 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:03:46 +0000 Fri, 21 Mar 2008 16:09:42 +0000
I love the Heron wallpaper.]]> Sun, 23 Mar 2008 05:32:10 +0000 Where is a damn disc label !!!
It's hard to promote Ubuntu with a disc labeled with a sharpie !!!

I would like to see a full color label and a lightscribe label !]]> Sun, 06 Jul 2008 07:00:50 +0000 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:42:09 +0000
