I really like <font size="2">the Fela Kuti</font> wallpaper. I think it would be wonderful for Hardy, especially if it were also integrated with the GDM and splash. Additionally, it would help bring in the black colors (I haven't seen much black yet) for the proposed orange and black color scheme.<br>

<pre>I really like this wallpaper too : modern, clean,... everything we could
expect from a wallpaper! I think it would be nice if the login screen
shared the same colors as the wallpaper, or even the same design.
I quickly made a really rough mockup of it :

I really love everything about it. No other wallpaper quite says
"Ubuntu
is different" from Mac and Vista like this image does. Its
gender-neutral, hip, and there's a certain wonderful whimsical
forward-looking emotion captured in that upturned face.
If Hardy does adopt this, and it is successful, it could also set a
blueprint for future wallpapers as stylized paintings (with the
stylization gradually changing to match current cultural styles)
of the
release-name-animal.
I hope I'm not getting too excited here,

P.S. I wish we knew who the artist was so we could get them on the
list!
