Spin Banner Artwork for spins.fpo

[Máirín Duffy]

Hi folks,

I came up with a set of banners for each of the spins to be displayed on
spins.fpo. In context, the banner would be placed underneath a blue
Fedora bar, like so:

Here's all the banners:

I hope you like them! Let me know if you're okay with the design I came
up with for your spin or if you have any ideas on improving these. I'm
going to make a post on planet.fpo too so we can get broader feedback,
but I'm particularly concerned about the spins owners being happy with
the artwork they've got. Please feel free to speak up. I uploaded the
source for the banners too in case you wanted to tweak on your own!

Thanks,

I'm sure spin owners will want to take advantage of the opportunity to
review and comment, but (as a non-spin owner) I wanted to jump in and
just say, thanks for the nice work. :-)

I am not an artist, but I liked the images you came up with for the Games
Spin. The fantasy related images seemed to have a very Wesnothian feel
(I don't know if that is where the came from).

Amazing! I'm personally a big fan of the Xfce Spin banner (as well as
the semi-non-existent Security Lab spin we're still working on). Many
thanks for all your hard work, your creativity, and expertise. You
kick hind parts.

Previously I had mentioned concern about all of the images for the games
sping being from 3D games. In the last week, 3D support on ATI chips
has improved a lot and I think at least for owners of those chips (I don't
have any intel 3D graphics chips and nouveau is known not to work), 3D games
should work well when running from the live image.
