How about these two mockups:

If you like the way these are looking I can work on them a bit more and 
at least make them available as GDM themes for Fedora if not the default.

I have been thinking about making a whole themed set of the DNA stuff 
though. I don't know that anybody else is working on or thinking about 
the FC6 default theme.

That is pretty nice. We could probably develop some artwork in that vein 
using Fyre.

See, to me, this looked great a couple of years ago or so, but it also 
looks very dated at this point. Bluecurve is a very old theme. We need 
to move on so we aren't stuck in the past.
