Well, that I'm honestly not so sure about! I mean, maybe we can tell you a bit about the qualities of Fedora and you can help us figure out what kind of sound it would need with your expertise. Here's the set of wallpapers we've had over the years... the wallpapers since Fedora 10 might be the best to focus on: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Wallpapers We tend to have wallpapers that are cool/cold, clean, related to water or space, blue. We tend to use curved elements as accents in a lot of our design work; eg a curved corner or two on a box, or the speech bubble element from our logo - see the four foundations graphics towards the bottom for an example: http://fedoraproject.org/en/about-fedora If Fedora was a person I think it'd be described as an older-brother type, very knowledgeable, technically talented/skilled, but also quiet and not so trendy... friendly and family-oriented, but not overly outgoing or exuberant or excitable. Definitely not lonely. Does that kind of description and the artwork samples maybe help give you an idea of the kind of sound we should do? I'm not sure homely/down-to-Earth is exactly right... that kind of makes me think of a traditional log cabin in the mountains in the woods? Maybe it'd be more like this: http://www.greenpacks.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/re-cover-house-amagansett-long-island-1.jpg ~m _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
