[Design-devel] Artwork for testing (forky) and unstable (sid)?

[Roland Clobus]

Hello Debian-design,

Recently the issue was raised to remove the number '13' in the artwork 
of the Debian installer because the same image is also used to generate 
ISO-files (installer and live ISO-images) for forky and sid.

Would it be possible/meaningful to have:
1) artwork that is 'unchanged' for unstable (sid), which can always be 
used and shows that this is the most volatile version of Debian?
2) artwork that is an 'in-between' version, that shows that it will be 
upcoming stable version, but it currently isn't and is a work-in-progress.

Such artwork would need at least:
- A boot splash screen (for GRUB/isolinux)
- A Debian-installer banner
- A desktop background

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
Maintainer of the Debian live images
