Feisty's 'plan' thus far has not addressed this inherent weakness. Even if Feisty ends up with new 'acceptable' bits, the design implementation strategy has grown no further. Ubuntu design should strive for more than meeting the bare minimum of acceptability within current operating system trends. Forever following someone else's lead will _always_ result in no better than second place.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Temporary Feisty Artwork Idea
hi, I suggest to use "Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Alpha 1 Artwork" or similar. Not at big size. This is usefull when you see screenshots to know which version is shot.

Testing releases often do end up on screenshot sites like OSDir and I think it wouldn't make a good impression if we included "bogus" artwork that isn't representative of the final quality. During Edgy we basically kept Dapper's artwork, then moved on to Troy's "artwork preview" and then to the final work. On top of this, and this is just a wild guess like anyone else's, I think the big idea is to have Feisty's final artwork integrated from the start on. I'm talking about at least the wallpaper and possibly the GDM theme, login splash and usplash. Again, this is just a guess as the real plan seems to be forever out of reach of reality.

I think something similar was done for Dapper's pre-release splash screen. Even though it had "This is not the final artwork" written on it, many testers got upset.
