Rodrigo, it isn't necessary to base a theme on a physical object tocreate a visual identity. For example, there are many brands out therethat have strong visual identities that are based on abstract designsand/or patterns. For example, 37signals has a very distinctive andrecognizable brand identity, but it's not focused on a lion, a chia pet,an airplane, or an umbrella. Same goes for Starbucks (very strong visualidentity that uses a lot of abstracted folk art), Adidas (their mainvisual identity is based on three abstract stripes), JetBlue (verydistinctive brand identify involving analogous shades of blue and violetin various vector-based patterns) etc. etc. etc. I really could go on,but let's not.> > >> Like the "Constantine I" statue, Pilar or gate proposed by Jayme or the> >> Lion proposed for Fedora 11 by Samuele.> >> > If you must associate the wallpaper with a noun (which I think is bad> > practice) it is very clearly a mosaic, so you could say "Mosaic."> > Humm.
