Hi,

IMHO, I think is good idea to promote the GNOME platform. The typical
Linux User reader already know what the GNOME Desktop is.

The idea is to marketing that GNOME platform is more than GTK+

I'm thinking about a beautiful GNOME component stack design with a
message like "A Free Platform for Freedom lovers" or something like that
or much better (I secretly dream about a 3D component stack design à la
Star Wars' title credits but I don't have the design skills to elaborate
it :)

Cheers,
