Is that for the icon with corners? If it's for the 2nd file, there's not much I can do as I got both files for the icon from the artwork wiki. I don't have the expertise to re-work it from scratch. I used the 200 px image and reduced it to 125x125. In reply to number 2 and 3, there's now a 3rd file uploaded (co6bg1_6denmkp.jpg) to http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4699 which uses the Denmark font for the '6' version number. I had to do a bit of searching to find the font, it wasn't in the Debian repo's. I attempted to emboss it and the result wasn't good. Also attempted to match the color of the CentOS type but with the 6 being flat and the other type being raised, it didn't look right to me. So I left it as a dark purple. Personally I prefer the 2nd upload (co6bg1a-1.jpg) with the glossy italic 6, even though the font may not be technically correct, and it may not look 'modern' enough. (?) If someone would like the 14.5mb xcf file (just compressed to 2.7mb) to make your own revisions, please send a private email and I'll send it along. (If several people want it I may upload it to my website and send along a download link...) Cheers, Cia
