I think such a "fantasy" theme may be a fun project (but personally I would be tempted to go overboard and add things like waving flags on the top of the castle). -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

Something like tatica's blue mosaic, well defined in the center and fading towards the edges. Or the coin idea some were talking about, also can be fading in/out.

Paul's idea about vines resonate with me, when I was playing with the steampunk concept for F10 I was thinking "the next one may be something more connected to the nature with vines and stuff". We are going far from the "simple, vector" target but I can't stop thinking about a being half mechanical (steampunk?) half organic (vines?) >> - Order from Chaos - Constantine was known for bringing order to the >> chaos of the Roman empire at the time he began rule and Constantinople >> seems to have served as a central hub / symbol of that order.

There is great potential in this and I think we may find a way to approach it with something simple. Order is simplicity. Firther reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_%28order_and_disorder%29 On a second thought, reading the link above, isn't the "Cathedral and the Bazaar" exactly the opposite, with the proprietary development model an ordered cathedral and FOSS a chaotic bazaar?
