Thanks a lot for your answer :) These are indeed screens that could be useful... I'll put them under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. I saw a video of a Guix user talking about his video game, it motivated me to to talk about it here... If I find out who it is, I'll contact him. >I don't paint much, but looking at your landscapes, I picture a warm >savanna and a herd of wildebeest running in the distance.

While I'm waiting to see what it might look like for a video game, I've been focusing on the first attempts at a possible 'guix-hurd' logo!

I don't paint much but looking at your landscapes I could picture a warm savanna and a herd of wildebeest running in the distance. I think that could make for a nice background. > What do you think?

Traditional and digital media can be mixed :) Personally, what I do is sketch ideas (pencil/pen on paper) whenever Guile or Guix activity makes me imagine something. I keep them around. When the time comes (a Guix event, a request from Guix people, etc.), I go through the sketches, sketch more if necessary, scan the ones I think that could work and develop them further in Inkscape (and MyPaint and GIMP). When one of the pieces passes my own quality standards, I send a proposal. One part where I think graphics help a lot is when posting on the Fediverse, for example. There's a lot of activity over there and text-only posts may just look like water in the stream. Posts with graphics, screenshots, etc., stand out. I sometimes propose graphics to Guix users and contributors posting about their own initiatives there (packaging meetups, documentation meetups). And I post independently too. Hope that helps,
