Cool. Note that in most cases outside of the backgrounds, the artwork
ends up in fedora-logos/generic-logos, not anaconda/firstboot/etc. So 
that may change who gets what.

I was thinking of it for the final cut as something akin to how the
name is determined, after the entries have been winnowed by the Art
team as above. But I understand where you're coming from. I'll hit
up the archives.
