The Archer: a simple-ish wallpaper

MkFly · 2011-01-25 05:25:20

Made in GIMP, with the Archer logo resized in Inkscape. This is my first take on this, so I'm happy to hear suggestions or critiques. Ideally, I'd like to touch it up and post an updated version.

Here it is in 1680x1050, I'm happy to provide other resolutions (bigger or smaller) if needed:

Thanks for the wallpaper... i love the blue color

The Arch logo is plain and simpel. Plainly and simply aesthetic. I like the gradient in the picture.

One question comes to my mind: Do people really use wallpapers with the logo of their distro?

No problem, it's in the original posting now.

elasticdog · 2011-01-31 18:15:20

I could use a 2650x1600...I love simple dark backgrounds like this.

SS4 · 2011-01-31 18:28:46

Fantastic, I love dark wallpaper and I love arch lol

It's in the first post now -- a bigger file, I had to move it to Dropbox. I imagine if you have monitors that big you're used to wallpapers with large filesizes.

Awesome work!
I'd love a 16:10 one (my monitor is 1920x1200) personally, if I can ask

EDIT: I fail, 2560x1600 fits the bill. Sorry! ^^;

Yep, yep I do!

Oh and nice wall! I will definitely be using it!

zenlord · 2011-03-25 08:54:12

THX! Like it very much (I guess if I had a facebook, this would be an occasion to click the 'like'-button...)

donbex · 2011-04-01 20:26:41

Looks pretty good. Thank you!
A 4:3 version would be nice, if possible (1280x1024 would be perfect). ^^'
