Hi!
CentOS Artwork - preview #2 is here for you to evaluate and consider. It is based on Modern motif and community suggestions:
http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Preview-2
In order to keep things simple, could we change the "one different artistic motif by major release" model to "the same artistic motif in all releases" ? With this, it would be easier to propagate artwork improvements to all distributions and the overall CentOS visual identity (as product) would be uniform and coherent.
There is an issue with 14 colors indexed images (Ex. that in grub splash) and the CentOS symbol colors. When building these images, the resulting colors in CentOS symbol is different from those in images with no color limitation. I tried to crate a GIMP palette with the correct CentOS Symbol colors, and apply it when indexing them but the final 14 colors image shows lot of noise when is loaded at boot time. Does anyone knows how this could be fixed ?
Ralph: would you still want to have more anaconda slides ?
Best Regards, al.
I love the artwork in this preview! Great job!
It looks very concise and not destracting at all

Not at the moment, but we might have to resize them when rendering - the one we did for 5.3 were too large. But that all depends on what might be in 6.0 :)
Cheers,

Looks good :-) Looks far better than 5.3 artwork (IMO)
Dear Alain,
In order to keep things simple, could we change the "one different artistic motif by major release" model to "the same artistic motif in all releases" ? With this, it would be easier to propagate artwork improvements to all distributions and the overall CentOS visual identity (as product) would be uniform and coherent.
I personally prefer separate artwork concepts for every major release because these versions should distinguish from each other. Of course we could still change an concept during a major life-cycle if it makes sense (e.g. if in retrospective we realize that a concept is not widely accepted.)

I'd have to agree with Marcus to give each major release its own graphical identity. Not only for the purpose of "identity", but also to prevent users from getting the idea that they still use version x while they are using version y. In my opinion it is always nice to get a new look with a new major release.

Same here.

Definately liking it. The previous theme with all the curly stuff felt too girly for my taste.
