Artwork
In this section, we cover the Fedora Design Team[1].
Contributing Writer: Nicu Buculei
Custom GTK+ Theme
Marcus Moeller shared[1] with the Design Team a custom GTK theme he is working on "I tried to make it look visually unique and eye friendly. It fits with the current GNOME icon set" about which Nelson Marques was very enthusiastic[2] "My personal position is that any brand (such as fedora) should have a strong visual identity, which eventually brings up the theming" and also pointed to Martin Sourada's work on theming Fedora with Nodoka[3]. Martin joined[4] the opinion about a visual identity "I also think Fedora should have its own visual identity" while Nicu Buculei remained bitter and skeptical[5] about such a possibility "In fact we go the other way, rejecting icon themes, GTK themes, notification themes or any other visual identity produced by the Design Team."

Better Hackergotchis
As an action item following the past week team IRC meeting, Jef van Schendel posted[1] the development for hackergotchi ribbons and also wrote[2] a blog post with a tutorial for using them. Also as an action point, Nicu Buculei wrote[3] a long blog post with good practices for hackergotchi creation, examples and instructions, intended to make Planet Fedora[4] a better looking place. Papadeas Pierros informed[5] about his work in identifying and improving bad images "After compiling the lists (the ugly and the missing) I will make an generic email for each list and send to all owners.. thus we will provide assistance, point to guidelines or simple clear up."

Fedora Branding Fonts
Máirín Duffy assembled[1] a wiki page[2] collecting info for the intended change in Fedora branding fonts for character coverage "MgOpen Modata doesn't support accent marks very well. For example, I (Máirín) can't write my own name in MgOpen Modata" and move to consistence. After the weekly IRC meeting she announced[3] the team's decision "At our team meeting today we decided to trial Comfortaa as the headline/titling font and Droid Sans as the body text font" which is going to be tested.
Fedora 14 Concept Decision
With the deadline reached, at the weekly IRC meeting the Design Team decided on the graphic concept for Fedora 14[1], which was announced[2] by Máirín Duffy on the Design Team mailing list "I double- and triple-counted our votes today - each voter picked their top 3 concepts - and the winner is Kyle Baker's concept for Fedora 14 with 9 votes." The next step is turning this concept in an usable wallpaper image and including in into the Fedora 14 Alpha release to gather feedback.
