Good. I agree with Kenneth that there is no need to put further emphasis
on the fact that we don't make the default theme.

But I miss a note on artwork outside theming. Wallpapers are a bit of a
corner case. I'm not sure if everyone associates icons with themes.
There's the occasional request for a banner.

"The Artwork Team aims to enrich Ubuntu by creating artwork and
especially by designing and packaging original themes to be available as
an alternative to the default look."

I left out high-quality and beautiful, because who would want to create
low quality and ugly themes? ;)
