I don't think the designs are mutually exclusive. The new logo and the general style proposed by pixelgirl can be applied to the work already done by Kalle, to obtain a complete new image. On the other hand, I have to voice my concerns about the image campaign. I have already mailed her privately and ask her to modify them a bit, to remove some bits that wouldn't transmit the right idea about Debian, but I want to also state my opinion publicly, not to flame her, but to be able to hear what other people have to say about this. Discussing about this on irc, some people seemed to agree with my view that the female images are too sexual, and that the image of the notebook on the pillow is disturbing. Some other people seemed to think that I was exaggerating and being stubborn about wanting these issues, and that if I had a problem with them, I could just not use them. While I think that the posters are beutifully made, and I get some of the jokes intended, I think that for us to use these images, as wallpapers, or t-shirt images, or the like, we should make sure that they transmit the right ideas about Debian. I don't think that they currently do. If I'm wrong and the rest of the project thinks they do, please let me know. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
