Public bug reported:

In the Saucy Salamander wallpapers set, the image
Saucy_Salamander_Abstract_by_José_Vera_alcivar.jpg contains an abstract
illustration of a salamander and a slightly tweaked rendering of the
Ubuntu logo. The image contains a deep purple, textured background and
it is stored as a low quality jpg image.

The Ubuntu logo section of the brand guide 
(http://design.ubuntu.com/brand/ubuntu-logo) lists several specific rules, and 
we are clearly going against some of those:
The circle of friends in this wallpaper is not quite a circle.
The logo is not being placed against a brand colour.
The logo is not using one of the six available colourways.
There is not sufficient empty space between the logo and other elements.

In addition, as a result of the compression (and the nature of scaling
rendered text in a bitmap, as will always be happening in a background
picture), the logo appears fuzzy. There is nothing in particular that
says this is off brand, but I'm sure we can agree it is: Ubuntu's logo
is sharp and precise, and it should stay that way.

Suggested remedies: Get this image as a PNG, relocate the logo with the
correct shape and colours, or remove the logo from the image altogether.
