ajcham3000's Jackalope concept

Just a representation of the jackalope at the moment - still needs a background built around it, and perhaps a little tidying of the vector image.

The basic idea is the same: a clean lined representation of a jackrabbit. - also needs a background behind it.

Mark III:

This wallpaper deviates from the trend since Hardy of having the title animal featured on the wallpaper, but I think that a jackalope would be really hard to capture well in a wallpaper. Thus, I tried an abstract idea. It takes what we associate with Ubuntu (freedom, speed, etc) and packs it in to one image that is both exciting and takes those principles and internalizes them.

Mark II:

I think that this one more embodies the cutting edge, speed, and power behind Ubuntu as well as merging it with Ubuntu's african roots.

Comments

Need to get rid of the text, you never see an Ubuntu wallpaper with the words "UBUNTU" or anything of the sort in it. Not the kind of the usual smooth, beautiful wallpapers one got in Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10. Needs to be better. Exsecrabilus, Exsecrabilus@Gmail.com

I do not think that these are ubuntu final wallpapers, as such, text could be one of the things we try out on the alpha testers. Has text ever been attempted on the default wall? -Saleel V
Please, no logo, no text, it is so ugly it hurts my eyes. I would wish there were more abstract, impressionistic or modern-art backgrounds to choose from. I find them very interesting -Nicklas W Bjurman
