Well some days later and nothing done is really *PIEP* *PIEP* <censored> .. grr

What should we do ? Release with 0.7 artwork ? Delay 0.8 ?

Other possible solution could be this :

1) create an simply BG with the new logo from masta for grub and splashy 
2) make GDM , KDM , moodin theme neutral
3) use the logo only for gnome , xfce splash
4) no default wall for the DE's this time ( use something may look fine from existing work kde-look.org or whatever )

Other ideas ?

We really should decide today because it has to be done in the one or the other way. 

There is no time to wait for artists anymore .. ping timeout.
