I can provide an EPS, does GIMP eat that? I just took a look at the newest hand covers. I'm impressed! I like that artwork, it makes the cd special, really. Very good work Christian! I'm also impressed by your skills. However, here are some comments for further improvements: . Black on Red is not easy to read, better use a light red background if you need a background . Black on dark grey (left side, left+above) is not easy to read. Better use a light background. . Shaded text on the left triangle looks scary. I would not use drop in shadows there, just use a bold plain sans-serif font (i.e. Arial, Helvetica, Humanist etc.) . Just printing the DFSG/GPL on top of the entire image is... umh... strange somehow. If it would be printed on just the ball/egg that would be cool. . One proposal lacks a triangle with background for the text "LinuxTag 2002 Edition", you should use a spcial background to ensure it is a different and important element. . I'd rather like a sans-serif font for the Text "3.0 Woody" as well. . Also, you should think about where and how to place sponsor logos. With the current design... I had some problems, since there is not enough free space on the right side and the artwork is too cool and interesting to be printed over by a logo. :-) Regards, Joey -- Computers are not intelligent.
