This theme is a bit too peaceful a static (except for the drapes variant).
We don't want people to get the idea nothing happens in Fedora or a new
release is not a special event. I'd add at least one dynamic element
(shooting star, plane trace, ground activity) to add some life to the
theme.

I like the way the two balloons on try 5 get the idea of community
accross. The other variants either show a single lonely balloon or spread
them too much to convene the group idea.

I don't really feel any central theme there, though some images are nice.

This one has already been discussed. I'll add that the caps on Fedora
Project do not seem to respect usual guidelines

Sorry, but no. We don't need to stress the hardcore engineer/math/geek
aspect of the distro, if anything we need to deemphasize it.
