Simpler Arch symbol versions here

Tarball of all images 1600x900 (v1 + v2):

Gimp XCF file in case you want to make your own (all layers and groups included - full HD 1920x1080): v1.3

Hi all,

I'm a bit of a newbie to Arch, couldn't find a good 1600x900 wallpaper so I made a few myself using the Arch colours.
They are simply the various styles of the Arch logo centred on the Arch coloured backgrounds (not sure if it has been made before - apologies if it has)

black logo

white logo

blue/grey logo

blue/white logo

black/white line

These look great, thanks! I downloaded my two favorites.

My only suggestion is that I think the transitions in the vignette could be smoother.

Anyway, thank you.

@kaipee
It does not matter if it has been made before or not. It is a community contribution and you are always welcome. By the way nice work though. Thank you.

Excellent. Minimalism is something that we should.

kaipee · 2012-10-27 11:02:41

Thanks for the feedback guys, nice to see someone else use them

@drcouzelis Yeah, GIMP doesn't seem to be able to 'smooth out' the vignette very easily. I'll try to add a blur effect or something also, to try to smooth it (I use that one too)

mpnordland · 2012-10-27 11:42:54

Minimalistic arch wallpapers FTW!!!
I'm thinking now on how to adjust my conky config just for this.

kaipee · 2012-10-27 11:53:48

@drcouzelis I've now tweaked the gradient by adding noise and a blur to it. It should be a little less 'bandy' now

drcouzelis · 2012-10-27 18:59:48

Very nice.

doug piston · 2012-10-28 04:54:59

Using one of these now. Nice work, appreciate it.

A tarball with them all would be awesome : )

Atronach · 2012-10-29 14:15:02

Hey, looks wonderful. The downside is that it's only 1600x900, my laptop's internal display resolution is 1680x1050 and the external one has 1920x1080. I would also like to use these wallpapers for ksplash insead of OxyArch theme's background.png which unfortunately doesn't support widescreen so the original background stretches unnaturally to fill a widescreen display. After upscalling it looks a bit blurry, so could you plese post also FullHD versions? Thanks!

Awesome thanks, downloading each one individually would have been time consuming

Atronach · 2012-10-30 17:05:33

Thanks for the gimp file, I didn't even have to fiddle with it, it is all prepared just for exporting to a fullhd png picture.
