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

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Hi Roland,

It sounds like you rather want to get in touch with either the desktop
team or DebianArt.

Please see https://wiki.debian.org/Design for more on the multiple
different things design covers, some of which this team is not about.

Kind regards,

 - Jonas

> 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
