Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, but what I meant was that it would 
be nice to have the ubuntu logo on the first splash.
What I meant was to have a GUADEC logo or something for a GUADEC livecd. 
This however is a livecd for 2.12.
I know this might ruin the composition and the effect between the blue 
and the orange, but I think we need a very clean feeling for the 
artwork. Have you tried to make the letters desktop an orange color, 
that might make it more exiting.

Argh, I feel so picky about small details, but if you remove the GUADEC 
logo and add the Ubuntu logo back to the bootsplash it would be perfect 
and I would have no more issues with it.

BTW, do you have the xcf's or svg's around somewhere?
Would be nice to have them for future use.
