As do I.  The desktop background works best which does not demand a
lot of attention.  I'd much rather see something on the Fedora desktop
*inspired* by the release name than being a direct, verbal
interpretation.  That inspiration aspect can keep the background more
figurative, subtle, and less likely to clash with graphical objects
like icons and windows.
