Interesting. I am curious how this would look in full color. Do you
plan for strong, full saturated colors?
I'm not sure what I was considering when it came to coloring. I think
most of the time in my mind I was picturing more muted colors, so that
it doesn't obstruct too much with desktop icons and whatnot, but also
there is a lot of negative space that people could put their icons in
and still get full view of the arm.
You should avoid the "Freedom" text or *any* other text. It does not
work in our multilingual settings, I believe we have a guideline
somewhere saying the wallpaper should not include any text.
You may want to replace such text with an icon, but I feel the broken
chain has the potential to work well enough as an icon.
I knew that part was questionable but put it in there anyway. There are
definitely possible replacements for "Freedom". One off the top of my
head is the Fedora logo within the speech bubble. The broken chain part
is, obviously supposed to represent the "breaking free" and I think the
emphasis lines around it add a very nice touch that explains what's
going on.
Another thing to consider in an multi-cultural context like ours: in
some cultures hand gestures have completely different meanings that
you are used to (and may be offensive: one finger, two fingers, the
open pal, the fist, etc.).
Definitely going to have to be considered. Perhaps I or someone else
could research what a balled up fist represents in multiple cultures so
not to offend anyone.
