The point i was get at is that I (we?) aren't particularly interested in
heavily branded artwork even if it was Gnome branded.  The plain clear
marbles you provided are great if a little plain and certainly worth
including somewhere.

The fedora marbles are lovely and I really like them except for the
branding issue and if the swirl didn't happen to be the same as the fedora
logo I'd want them included yesterday. (Referring back to earlier in the
thread even if you didn't specifically mention it in the last mail.)

Callum does the commit work so it is really up to him to decide and
including the Fedora marbles could probably go into the extra themes
package since they are so well done.
