Hi starwolf,
we do not necessarily need a new siduction logo, but the artwork should be based on the design of the logo, redesigned (developed). This begins with a single wallpaper for Grub boot manager, possibly a simple splash screen for the boot process, the design of the login manager, the splash screen of your desktop environment and the wallpaper for your desktop. This list is certainly not yet completely around the artwork of siduction to improve completely ;-)

If you have suggestions and ideas are welcome.

The implementation of the artwork must then of course be coordinated with the siduction team.

Hi Mike,


thanks for considering helping us to recreate parts of our artwork. To discuss this further, so we are on the same level it would be nice if you could come to our IRC-Channel to talk about this. We are on the OFTC network in channel #siduction.


If anything about that is unclear, as you might not hang out on IRC, just ask. Most of us are in Germany, so we are 6-9 hours ahead of you, if you are in the US. We are available until after midnight our time. Thanks for your contribution so far.

The icons are very good, but the background image has low quality.

Yes, it comes down from the 2shared.com site, once you trade an email address for a login.  I agree with whistler_mb -- the icons are very crisp, but the background seems a little fuzzy or muddy or something.  But it's a nice first version -- hopefully you'll get more feedback from others.  Thanks for doing this!

just my 2ct: I prefer photos over selfdrawn graphics. Graphics always look less serious and in someway too geeky.

Hey,

played around with gimp and inkscape last night.

Here is what i came up with. Just a simple Wallpaper

Here in action + a suprisingly good looking invert version (my opinion)
