You need to remove the logo, the topic says no logos on the wallpaper

No, that's not the rule, which was to do away with having a 'stamp" or watermark of our name and logo in the bottom right corner. That used to be what we asked members to add, and that's now gone.

The logo or name can be explored as part of the artwork, and in this case, he's using the mx name in his own way. That's not our logo.

Added: I've amended the guidelines to clarify this issue.

Ah.. Please post your works a lot, without think about someone.
I (We) Really want to see your works, that's My (Our) wish.

Good/Quaity are NOT important, Express your passion and belief about MX Linux to your heart's content, or feel free express your image, That's ALL.
of cource strange, unique, twisted work are very welcome too. (saying this message as Developer)
(My submissions will do very near deadline)

Absolutely beautiful !

@Freja @ceeslans Glad you like :-)

@CharlesV I really like the MXCleans; however - oh no, the dreaded however, I like it so much and it looks so pristine, that personally, I'd prefer an extremely clean, almost austere MX logo. Maybe something with a mono-color, or two-tone, or a shaded/varied/faded mono-color, and sharp precise outlines of the logo.
Again, I seriously like the MXCleans, but to hyperbolize my point, IMHO, the logos appear almost cartoonish compared to the pristine yet beautiful MXClean - I hyperbolized.

Not negative, I love it, but with a twist of critique. :


Have a good day Charles!

Hey sir, no worries! Personally, I have the "clean" versions of both the blueish and the "line". I didnt think anyone would want them, but I will post them in a bit :-)

Not an artist, just an amateur photographer gobsmacked by this spring ephemeral (=very short active life).

@CharlesV I very much like your DarkGray_Angles_MX25. I like it so much I replaced the 25 in the logo with 23 and am using it for my wallpaper, (for my own use). As I understand it this does not violate the creative Commons license.

@Jerry3904 I converted it to jpg in GIMP. File size is 1.1MB now.

Thanks--i hope the details stay sharp.

They did when I compared the two in nomacs on my 1440 monitor. I couldn't tell the difference.

Just for the sake of adding some crazy colour to the submissions posted thus far, here are 2 wallpapers I generated with the rather old open source program, Evolvotron.

Thanks. I note however that these were already submitted and used previously (in a different colour or variation) in MX18 or 19, I believe.

I would be best not to volunteer another person's work without their consent.

This one was created a long time ago, and now it's trying to see the sunlight for the first time under a new name... I hope you enjoy it.
