- Where did the icons in the firstboot splash come from? We should be 
using gnome-icon-theme or Echo icons ideally. However it's not clear to 
me where this icons came from; we can't be using artwork from elsewhere 
without making sure the license allows it and is appropriate for Fedora.

- the syslinux splash design doesn't seem to feed the feel/mood of the 
rest of the artwork. I think we could make it more photo realistic even 
with the color restrictions.

- the background of the login window is too busy/distracting. Probably 
just a nice dark gradient would look nice although I don't even know if 
this kind of theming is possible with the new gdm.

- the design for GRUB is missing.

Thanks,
