pretty much repeating some motifs tried for F11, but is doable.<br>> <br>> [1] even all wikipedia has to say about it is a stub: <br>> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocoon" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocoon</a><br><br>-1 I would definitely like to move on from the Spartan idea... <br>> <br>> > Heisenberg<br>> <br>> Paul gave already an idea here<br><br>+1<br><br>> <br>> > Goliath<br>> <br>> Power, might, crushing everything around. But is it a good idea? <br>> Ultimately Goliath was a loser, defeated by David.<br><br>+1 I think we could twist this around though, e.g. we could theme the artwork on defeating the target of Goliath, posing Fedora as the David... <br>> <br>> > Rugosa<br><br>+1 I LOVE this one. There are so many beautiful natural patterns we could use - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Haeckel_Tetracoralla.jpg"
target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Haeckel_Tetracoralla.jpg</a><br>> <br>> I think it may be interesting to have a floral theme, with roses and <br>> stuff. We can claim the girls temporarily overpowered the geeks at Fedora.<br>> <br>> > Adamastor<br>> <br>> I have the same concern as for Hippokoon<br><br>-1 me too, please let's move on from Spartans!<br><br>> <br>> > Orville<br>> <br>> It may be interesting to have a graphic theme about music and shout <br>> "Fedora 12 rocks!"<br><br>+1 <a href="http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Fedora%20Collateral/Guitar%20Pick/fedoraguitarpicks.png" target="_blank">http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Fedora%20Collateral/Guitar%20Pick/fedoraguitarpicks.png</a> :)<br>> <br>> > Chilon<br>> <br>> Good thing we can shift from Ancient Greek heroes to Swiss castles, I <br>> would try touse this in a theme.<br><br>+1<br>>
<br>> > Wallace<br>> <br>> We can try something dark, Sin City style or some Scottish references.<br><br>+1<br><br>> > Elvis<br>> <br>> To go with "music" would be to obvious, we can try something like "is <br>> not dead!"<br><br>+1 We could do something spooky maybe, Elvis' ghost... <br>> <br>> > Cimrman<br>> <br>> The Czech character is, IMHO, a bit obscure for an international <br>> audience so we may have to go here with the astronomy thing.<br><br>+1<br><br>> > Alexander<br>> <br>> I would liked more to have in the suggestion list some references for <br>> secondary meanings, we know is a common name, was a Greek king... <br>> something else to try than the same old Greek theme.<br><br>+1 I think there's a lot of possibilities here tho. Alexander Graham Bell, Alexander Method, or maybe the movie Moondance Alexander which is about ponies which leads to a OMG!!!!! PONIES!!@!#!@$!@$
theme!<br>> <br>> > Stradivari<br>> <br>> Music, classic, fine art.<br><br>+1<br><br>> <br>> Those are some ideas I got "on the spot", with some thinking I am sure <br>> we can find some more, so any choice is doable (but I would not be happy <br>> with repeating an "Ancient Greece" theme).<br><br>Same here, no repeats!<br><br>~m<br><br><br><br> <br>_______________________________________________<br>design-team mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org" href="/mc/compose?to=design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org">design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org</a><br><a href="https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team" target="_blank">https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team</a><br></div></blockquote></td></tr></table><br>
