I think that image is *awesome*, however as Brad pointed already, it is 
not very usable, it looks very busy and has a lot of small details 
obscuring the icons. Also, I know he have a couple of people with some 
degree of Blender experience (some more knowledgeable, some a bit less), 
but I pretty much doubt we have the level needed to do something as 
advanced like that.

I also expect some would not like an image like that because it has a 
"war" message (even if the message is "war in space") but I don't care 
much about such a complaint.
