[CentOS] CentOS 8 Artwork needed
To all the artists and designers here, we need your help. With RHEL 8 beta released, we need to start producing artwork for CentOS 8. It's time for the CentOS Artwork SIG, and anyone else that's interested in contributing to this effort, to start working on everything that will be needed for the new release. What we know we need is anaconda artwork, and new desktop backgrounds to replace the current '7' themed stuff. As we dig, we may find more things that need to be updated to the new 8 theme. Additionally, we will need to update some of the assets listed here: https://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Identity ... and produce new assets for 8 to be listed here: https://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Brand/Logo And, finally, we need someone to step up to lead this effort. While we don't yet know for certain when RHEL 8 will officially release, it's safe to assume that it's soon, and we need your help. -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
