To all the artists and designers here, we need your help.
With RHEL 8 beta released, we need to start producing artwork for CentOS 8. It's time for the CentOS Artwork SIG, and anyone else that's interested in contributing to this effort, to start working on everything that will be needed for the new release.
What we know we need is anaconda artwork, and new desktop backgrounds to replace the current '7' themed stuff.
As we dig, we may find more things that need to be updated to the new 8 theme.
Additionally, we will need to update some of the assets listed here: https://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Identity
... and produce new assets for 8 to be listed here: https://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Brand/Logo
And, finally, we need someone to step up to lead this effort.
While we don't yet know for certain when RHEL 8 will officially release, it's safe to assume that it's soon, and we need your help.

I'm no artist, so I won't even attempt to actually create artwork.
Having said that, with the current increase in interest in space activity the old Apollo 8 logo might give us some inspiration. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Apollo-8-patch.png for the original.
My initial though is for the CentOS logo where the earth is and some sort of future at the Moon end. Perhaps a star? I'm a programmer not a "creative" so I'll allow artistic types to decide. If obscuring the CentOS logo with the lower band of the "8" is unacceptable, then it would be possible to keep the Earth and put the CentOS logo in place of the Moon. Not as strong a message, but still fun.
The three astronauts' names cound be replaced with the word "CentOS", a slogan (please not "to infinity and beyond"), or simply blanked. The colour scheme will obviously depend upon corporate diktat.

Perhaps avoid a blue background.
Supposedly there is solid research now that blues are bad for our eyes...
My $0.02 worth.

So, you're telling us old folks that we shouldn't go outside, or look up at the sky?
(Why, yes, since you ask, I did just have cataract surgery the beginning of Dec, and I've been sitting at a desk job, full time, programming or sysadmin, for a long career....)
