Hi Who, I'm seeing your artwork and it has good ideas. Someone in ubuntuforums said (as a comment to some splash images I posted there) that light should come from top to get a 3D feel, as it's how it works in landscapes. I would try that.
I like the border form the first six images. I suggest you to make the big background ubuntu logo flat instead of lines. Another suggestion is to make flat the ubuntu word, not the logo. It's hardly readable with that glossy. Don't know if it is obligatory to make the word black, if not, try with pure white and a subtle brown shadow to see if it looks right. Maybe I will try later to play with the svg.
