I don't disagree with the fundamental idea here, but I think before you start diverting people's valuable time with this you need to get approval and guidelines from Frank and sabdfl - only through those two can anything be DONE.
People producing artwork based on the guidelines you have layed out are very unlikely to produce work of a style that will get into the distro - if you look closely you will notice there have been _huge_ numbers of submissions that do almost exactly what you are suggesting over the last few weeks (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/EdgyArtworkPlan/Polish/Incoming ) For example, over the last week we worked closely with sabdfl to get a glassy logo that he felt was up to scratch - the results of this are published on the wiki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/EdgyArtworkPlan/Polish/Incoming/WhoFinalLogo I _do_ really feel strongly about getting new art into Edgy, but I know that in order to do it we need to work closely with sabdfl and design things HE approves, not just thinks LIKE what he LIKES - we have done that already and it wasn't good enough, which is WHY we are in this situation.
