At least Andreas likes the idea. Good.
He asked in #marketing for visual examples, I come up with some found in
the videogame industry. I don't pretend to sell GNOME as a videogame!!!
This is just to remind how the videogame industry was able to create
very exciting visual concepts from very poor 2D and pixelated graphics:
This is how Super Mario - Gameboy was explained:

The pacman-alike games also pictured a whole adventure from a bunch of
16-color pixels:

A more extreme and recent example:

We don't need to produce 3D icons, nor make big adventures with them. We
have already very cool icons that we can put at different sizes and make
them fly in a 32-like space, the metaphor of the 2.16 desktop.
But we can offer a graphical and conceptual and exciting description of
the 2.16 desktop creating this embracing space in the big banner.
What do you think? Specially to PingunZ, what do you think?
