Sounds like fun!  I'll take a stab at it!  I could even do a Flash animation.

This is agreeable to me :) I will implement sans reflection.

Good point :)

See, this is why I like an open community.  Communication is great :)

Thanks all, I'll update later with a newer picture.

P.S. My current iteration of the burg theme works as far as I can see.
Should I upload the theme somewhere, perhaps to launchpad?

If you keep the reflections, please make them subtle. Study how real
reflections become blurry going downwards.

Saleel is right, the flat icons suggest to not try to suggest depth.

No reflections doesn't mean you have to keep that background. Opening
another possibility ain't helpful, is it? ;)

Re: [ubuntu-art] initial burg screenie

[Mark Curtis]

I agree, plus I would think the spotlights hotspot further down would be where 
the reflections would show up anyway.  The way it looks now there's two 
"floors". As a reflection put way down there (actually beyond there since it 
would be approximately equidistant) would also look out of place I say remove 
entirely.

Should I abandon the background and instead keep the reflections? Or,

should I remove the reflections?

imho, 2d refreshingly simple icons like that should not have a reflection. 
Glyphs+reflection=odd.

If I wouldn't be concerned about appearing mean and/or mad, I might
write: A Mini-Me He-man version of Mark Shuttleworth riding on an
armored battle lynx that rips a meditating Darth Koala to pieces. All
this happening on Pandora, with some non-communist heterosexual Smurfs
watching in the background (one of them smoking a joint).

But so I can only say: This is not how it works.

First you have to know that the default wallpaper is almost always an
entirely internal affair at Canonical. We here just create additional
artwork, hot air and perhaps awful attempts at humor.

Have a look at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork
http://www.flickr.com/groups/ubuntu-artwork
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Briefing
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Message

Oh, and then either you realize your own ideas, or you should not expect
that abything useful will come your way. I mean, just asking for ideas
with no context and no limits means risking nothingness due to that
scary white void of anything-goes/nothing-has-a-reason ... or the
impossible, silly and over-the-top neighborhood of insanity, boundless
and undirected creativity.

I'm slightly inclined to abandon the background as keeping it would
make the grub loader more ubuntu 9.10 specific, however, on the other
hand, I know a lot of people are looking for a unified bootloader,
loading, login screen.

It's worth noting that the source file can be found on the xsplash LP

Please look at just the background again. You have light from the top
shining down unto a floor; it's a room. Now if you add elements in the
middle of the screen, 2 ways to look at them come to mind: objects
floating inside the room, or objects on a layer in front of the room.

But reflections right below the elements imply that they stand on their
own floor, creating a conflict with the background.
