    Not my taste, but whatever. The thing that bothers me is that it was made with mac/windows software. I would think that the winner of something like this should be created out of Linux only software(Wine/Cedega, etc. doesn't count). Maybe it could never really be proven but still.
    Common sense is assumptions ugly cousin.

    Personally, I don't like it. It looks like I just barfed at the logo and it dispersed. It also feels like X-Mas.

    Sorry to say, but the word GNOME in the background is horrific with that image.

    One word : YUK!
    It's way too busy with the dissolving Gnome Foot (is this a portent of events to come?) I do agree, the non-dissolving foot looks WAY better...
    I'll stick with a custom splash screen.

    The caption by the artist is "simply evolving", but it seems to convey "simply dissipating". Is this art? This is *art.

    Lol - I do have to admit that Alka Seltzer was the very first thing that came to mind when I saw it.

    If the intention is to indicate "finally, all of the pieces fall into place" - then it makes sense, but still looks awful.

    It could mean "GNOME 2.12 - watch it dissolve in front of your very eyes"....but I think it looks like an ad for a treatment for Athlete's Foot
