The current Fedora background includes the version number, which does not match the upcoming release. If you have simple, yet attractive, background(s) for Fedora Core now is the time to propose it.
Backgrounds should be 1600*1200 and not include the version number.

Ok, having had to fiddle-around with this kind of thing recently for TV, I couldn't resist trying my hand at another "inoffensive" backdrop image. Here's my effort (Forgive the angelfired website):

What's wrong with the default background being used in FC3-test3?

What's wrong with asking community to be invovled? I think its a bit late to ask for submission for fc3 and be able to take full advantage of community interest, but I like the idea of Red Hat as the managing entity for Fedora asking for and encouraging community input. I would have liked to see more specific guidance than the annoucement here but its a start.
In the FC4 future, I would hope that for any call for artwork submission from community will come earlier into the testing process and would be much more widely communicated than just the desktop list. I would also like to see it approached more as a competition with submission deadlines and some clear guidance as to theme and style.
If I had managerial control, I'd would organize it as a competition with small group (even as small as one person) of experts who would choose a small number of finalist submissions that would all be acceptible as a background to include in Core. I would have the small expert group select one "winner" out of the finalist to be the default background for fc4, and then i would open up a public poll of the remaining finalist submissions to select a "people's choice" winning background to be included but not be the default background. I would then archive the remaining finalist submissions into an online gallery in the fedora project webspace. I would attempt to repeat the same sort of process with each core release. Swapping out a couple of backgrounds each release and archiving them in the online gallery location, to make room for the 2 new backgrounds. One judge's choice as the default, and one people's choice as an alternative.

Please keep in mind that Diana was just hired to replace Garrett, so she is joining the FC3 release rather late in the game. I think it is great that she has jumped in so fast and already started thinking about more community participation. I'm sure as she goes through a release or two she will learn to ask more specific questions.

Nothing, necessarily; I just happen to really like the current default in the test releases, so I was wondering why what isn't broken should be "fixed".

Came over this some time ago, I haven't talked to the author about it, but I thought I should add it to the discussion:

Does this fulfill the "simple yet attractive" criteria? :-) http://people.redhat.com/dreed/Fedora-HEAD.png

Sorry, too big. Should be 1600*1200 only.

Because doing a quick resize to 1600x1200 is obviously very hard...
