Humanity without humans (default Artwork)

I like that idea in general. I'll see what kind of stock photography I
can find to play with some ideas.

Just FYI, I think you were just using the Google Images link for
examples, but for any kind of "official" artwork, you either need to
do the photography yourself of find a source of royalty-free (and
hopefully free in general). I'm sure there are others, but the only
place I've found images that fit this description are at
www.imageafter.com (and the owner of that site is also an Ubuntu
user!). Random found images on the web are probably not the right
size/proportions and would need permission from the photographer to
use in our situation.

You may already know this, but I wanted to point it out for those that
don't. I know I've had a number of graphic design clients come to me
with pictures from greeting cards or pictures that come with frames
and they can't believe how much it costs to use those images after I
do the research for them. In all my cases, buying the rights to use
images like that costs at least $500, and if the image was to be used
on a global scale and thousands of copies, the prices could easily get
into thousands of dollars.

I'll see what I can find though and submit any ideas I come up with. :-)

Thanks!

Aaron
