I love that last one, although the flat Mint logo doesn't quite seem to work with the background, and the same goes for all the images in this latest batch. I'm not sure what to suggest except to say that you've got beautiful backgrounds and the logo looks so much like it's clip art that you slapped on it almost ruins the image. Of course YMMV.

Thank you, I think lol!! I appreciate your honesty! I had to try and use a logo i had because I couldn't get the official ones :( I am going to be working on a new one this weekend see if I can make a few improvements!

I know what you mean about the logos. I've made some images with the Mint and KDE logos and I always end up having to hunt through my hard drive for the .svg images so I can resize them easily. Of course once I find them I always forget specifically where they are or what they're called so the hunt is on all over again.

I did a quick DuckDuckGo search and found a logo on Wikipedia and some older "current" logos on linuxmint-art.org. There's also a Linux Mint group on Deviant Art that posts some great images that may help out, even if just for inspiration.
