Yes, remove the branding. It just ruins the whole.

Ohh, but don't let me going to make a modern-art Jackalope stop you for cooking up something yourself. It is always great to have many choices of Jackalopes to choose from.

Re: [ubuntu-art] A new wallpaper
Please stop branding the wallpapers, it really hurts my eyes...
