Here is a PNG of the graphic we print directly to a silver CD. The CD 
looks much better than this graphic, but at the moment Karlie has the 
camera and she's out looking for a birthday present for me so I'm not 
going to interrupt her ;)

If you want to spiff it up in any way I'd say sure, have at it. We are 
able to print photo quality and many of the developers make their own 
graphics. The larger the graphic the better. 800x800 is about the 
minimum. 1024x1024 or larger will print up quite nicely.
