I don't talk too much in this list, but I think I have an idea I can share with you guys. About the Dapper Drake thing, I think your concepts are really cool, Nikolai. In fact, I think all of them represent exactly the mood. But my idea was more like having a cleaner default desktop. Something that can be done for each release, like a 'identity' wallpaper. My idea is really simple, is just having the Ubuntu logo, alongside an isotype (Does that word exist in english?) showing the current release in the form of an icon. A black and transparent simplified form of the current animal would be great. I don't have where to post it right now to make the idea clearer, but I'll do whenever I can. It's just a proposal, the good thing about it is that the format can be used for a lot of releases, and it doesn't have to be the default desktop (I think the 'human' photography artwork is better for this), but each release's identity wallpaper. What you guys think?
