Do you think is the case for us to start a 3 round process similar with 
the one proposed for F7? - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/FC7Themes
We can easily adapt it with dates following the F8 schedule.

I agree about exploring a new style because I think we should bring 
something fresh in each release and because is fun to explore different 
styles.

We can focus on the overall style in the beginning and when the time 
comes to create the individual images (probably around F8T2 or even a 
little later) probably you will have a better idea about this blocker.
