Just to let you all know, I do see the point of both Tim and Patrik here and I do agree with both at the same time. However, I attend to agree with Tim's point more. For me, I do hate (to be super honest) to see a logo on the default wallpaper BUT it won't kill us nor anyone if we shall do it for once, only. That means, for 15.10 only :) With 16.04, the default wallpaper should have no logo nor Ubuntu GNOME in there, IMHO. > But really that is just my opinion and its up to you guys to > make the actual decisions on this. > Yes. The reason why there is an Artwork Sub-Team is to do each and everything related to Ubuntu GNOME Artwork. Myself and Tim can only share our opinion ;) We do trust you guys so please, dazzle us!

I strongly agree with Tim here. I do hate to copy others. I was born original, I won't die as a copy. It is okay to learn from others and get inspired but doing the same as they do? that is now how/where I want to see Ubuntu GNOME is heading :) > > > > For Plymouth we have something more subtle to smoothen the transition.
