Hi Tuomas, Thank you very much for your contributions. It would be fascinating if we could join forces in the CentOS artworks, coordinating directions, and distributing the work to get better results. I'm not a school-graduated artist but I feel an enthusiast of both programing and graphic design. I enjoy studying the work of others, and making contributions based on what I learn from them. > Yeah.

I haven't seen the new installer in action yet but, based on this, I am feeling quite happy with it :). Having the release number as text in the installer might reduce the need of having the release number inside the CentOS distribution artwork, too. For example, I guess it would be possible to create a strong visual connection between the CentOS release number (text), the CentOS logo (image), and the artistic motif (image) somehow in the installer so as to achieve low maintenance and still a consistent visual connection among these components. To avoid confusions, each major release of CentOS must use a unique artistic motif. --al.
