Hi,
with the EL6beta2 Refresh, I am going to guess that the rhel6 release isnt far - and one of the things that takes the longest to get sorted out in 'CentOS Lands' is the artwork components.
It would be fantastic if we can get some of the centos-artwork packages into the testing repo's by the 15th Aug. So what all do we need in order to get there ?
The components we need to start with are the gnome theme, *-artwork packages and *-logos packages.
Can we also get a show of hands, on who all are working on these components ?
Thanks

let's also define for what languages are translations needed. I am in no mood to spend again time translating and generating the logos to find out that $MY language is not supported by anaconda

I am going to work out a plymouth theme which will replace the old RHGB splash.
For the rest we could stick with the Modern design for v6 which is nearly finished.

Is there anything which needs to be done / has to be done / must be done to restart this? Are there more people needed for actually doing design? Are there people willing to join that process?
Is some infrastructure stuff besides projects.centos.org needed?
More generally: Does anyone have an idea on how to attract more people to a graphical design process, which probably will be more than designing the artwork components for the distribution?
Should that go into a new thread?

I did some proposals and if noone else is going to provide some, I will work out a theme based on that.

I think the artwork has always looked great, and didn't realize it need help!
So, more to the point, what help is needed? I see one (1) ticket in trac [1] - is that where we should be looking?

W.r.t. the "flower / tree / vine / tendril" design that I intensely dislike -- the reason for my dislike is that it is "too fussy".

Marcus,
The above (centos_light_blue) is agreeable to me. A +1 for that design.
The stripes just do not look like anything special. In fact I would be tempted to ask is there was something wrong with the display! So -1 for the stripes.

Marcus,
I'm also preferring the "waves" over the "stripes" - just my personal opinion of course.
Thanks for giving us so many great examples to look over!

Good job. They all look great. Well, except "stripes", which I only give an "it's OK". :)

The dark corner is meant to be as contrast and should represent the 'original' CentOS blue.

Just a side note: the stripes series was the hardest one to create :)

I don't know why others give the stripes one a lower score. I like it a lot and actually put it on my desktop.

Hi,
what about a more technical/professional design?
My wishes were:
- to have the version number as a roman number - VI (this should also be an allusion to the well-known editor) It should have continuous stokes at the top and the bottom so it's one symbol.
- to have the CentOS Logo (the image and the solid white "CentOS" text (Denmark font)) on a 33% gray background (#555555) for example.
- no rotating circle as plymouth animation (better: Nexus-like stokes drawing the word CentOS, when drawn (full booted) the 4-color CentOS-Logo appears.)
Here are some proposal images from me - please say whether it's nice or what can be made better. Your opinion, please. The "VI" is made with an open source font (DejaVu LGC Sans Condensed, Bold). (The rest of the gray (i.e. wallpapers) could be fed with some flourish, e.g. PCB conductor tracks in another gray tone, ... your ideas ...).

Greetings,
Brian.
I appreciate your try at drop.io.,
But., How about coming out of the formal way of artwork & think something really different.,
Compare the diff between Ubuntu versions, Windows xp to Win7,
Even, a simple android 1.5 to 2.1 itself contains a major changes.,
I am a total crap when it comes about creativity and colors.,
But i appreciate innovation + creative trys(almost everything).
This time., Please confirm an artwork after high amount of revisions please.

Hi,
this drop is for showing off _an idea_ only, not a final artwork. I think the "VI" should be characteristic for this (special) release. CentOS 6 will not only being deployed on servers at most, it will be something special: It should also become the first choice for laptops, developer workstations, sound studios and even the OS of video recorders (CentOS-5 + VDR does it very well on x86-based DVB recorders (ReelBox, etc.)).
Multimedia - EL6 has got what it takes !!
The "CentOS" logotype should get its place back into one corner of the wallpaper - so people can see, that CentOS is running (when looking over the user's shoulder onto the screen).
What the new release may stand for: - it's Very Intuitive - and Very Impressive - a big Velocity Increase - good for Virtualized Infrastructures - for you - it's Very Important - it's Vital Inside - it's CentOS VI (six)
B.S.
Dear Brian,
first thanks for your input.

- to have the version number as a roman number - VI
(this should also be an allusion to the well-known editor) It should have continuous stokes at the top and the bottom so it's one symbol.
We want to keep the artwork 'version-free' to allow ppl to use an artwork set for every release they like.
- to have the CentOS Logo (the image and the solid white
"CentOS" text (Denmark font)) on a 33% gray background (#555555) for example.
The default color set is dark blue and I don't think this is going to change as it makes CentOS visually unique and is part of the brand.

Hi Marcus, I like it, it's better then the one with "gradient". Please do provide also wide versions of your work. I agree with Karanbir, It would be fine to have a few not just one Artwork. Maybe you could also provide the community with sources to let the community mock up. Thanks and keep on, David Hrbáč

Thats true, but no reason why we cant have more than one look and feel packaged in. Let users then chose what they want to have.

what about a more technical/professional design?
I'm all for options! Quite liked the grey background ( I use an all black background on my own desktop )
We want to keep the artwork 'version-free' to allow ppl to use an artwork set for every release they like.
Thats true, but no reason why we cant have more than one look and feel packaged in. Let users then chose what they want to have.
But I am still for a default theme/look and feel, and I am against roman numbering (if there has to be a version number somewhere), as there is a large group of CentOS users which has no real connection to our european history.
The background with the real CentOS logo looks great, btw.
