Hi guys,
What do you think of adding some of modern-CentOS design into our CentOS distro ?
Take a look at: http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/DistroDesign/modern-CentOS
I would like to collect comments of people how really know what things must be changed, dimensions, CentOS Look and Feel, and stuff like that, in order to focus the actions over what is really needed.
I really like the idea and the designs, *but* (you knew that was coming, right? :P ) I don't like the color.
Color is one of the strongest branding mechanisms there is. CentOS in the past has used aqua/light blue on login screens, splash screens, and so on. I think changing to dark blue is a bad idea. It's like seeing the IBM logo in green; it's "just not" IBM anymore.
I'm not saying that we have to use the same blue that we have in the past, but certainly we should stick to the same general "area".
