Not really interested in doing graphic design work, particularly with the technical and creative limitations of this particular project. The only way I can really enjoy drawing is when there is no planning or limitations...pretty much the opposite of design.
As I said, I mean no disrespect, but I think it's very important that anything changed should be an *improvement* (or at least just as good), and these images are not, technically or artistically, as good as what is already in use. If you consider the artists who develop icons and other seemingly insignificant graphic bits, most don't whip out several projects in a few days days. They create tons of concept sketches for approval or suggested improvement, and work laboriously on every detail until they have a final product that is technically clean, symbolically accurate, and aesthetically pleasing. Perhaps these were intended to be rough sketches of what's to come, but I didn't get that impression. Something as simple as cleaning up the boundaries of New Tux could make it just as good, if not better, in which case I still wouldn't care to vote but I'd have no issue with the change.

Pretty much. I'm kinda sorry I opened my mouth at all, though. I wasn't going to get involved with this topic, since I tend to not care much about what software looks like as long as the visual does not hinder the functionality. The thing that kinda bugged me was the desire to replace something that already serves its purpose with something of lower quality. I'm not saying they're all "bad", but anything "not quite as good" is an illogical change.
