From: Nicu Buculei nicu_fedora@nicubunu.ro After a quick read of the list, I don't see anything as unthemeable as "sulphur", so any of the choices are acceptable IMO.
Yes that one was a real stinker... HAWHAWHAW :)
I will take them one by one and emit some quick ideas:
Quetzalcoatl
It may be inspired by an asteroid, but I would be tempted to challenge the cultural taboos and use some pre-Columbian imagery (dragon serpents, pyramids)
+1 I think the pre-Columbian imagery is a great idea.
Constantine
Byzantine... 'nuff said :D
Hubble
Stars, galaxies, we can just stole the wallpaper from the Astronomy spin
+1
Umbria
I am pretty sure our Italian friends can come with a lot of ideas about this (I don't think we will feature Star Trek ships).
+1
Hippokoon
I am no big fan of this, going with (less known[1]) Spartan kings will be pretty much repeating some motifs tried for F11, but is doable.
[1] even all wikipedia has to say about it is a stub: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippocoon
-1 I would definitely like to move on from the Spartan idea...
Heisenberg
Paul gave already an idea here
+1
Goliath
Power, might, crushing everything around. But is it a good idea? Ultimately Goliath was a loser, defeated by David.
+1 I think we could twist this around though, e.g. we could theme the artwork on defeating the target of Goliath, posing Fedora as the David...
Rugosa
+1 I LOVE this one. There are so many beautiful natural patterns we could use - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Haeckel_Tetracoralla.jpg
I think it may be interesting to have a floral theme, with roses and stuff. We can claim the girls temporarily overpowered the geeks at Fedora.
Adamastor
I have the same concern as for Hippokoon
-1 me too, please let's move on from Spartans!
Orville
It may be interesting to have a graphic theme about music and shout "Fedora 12 rocks!"
+1 http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Fedora%20Collateral/Guitar%20Pick/... :)
Chilon
Good thing we can shift from Ancient Greek heroes to Swiss castles, I would try touse this in a theme.
+1
Wallace
We can try something dark, Sin City style or some Scottish references.
+1
Elvis
To go with "music" would be to obvious, we can try something like "is not dead!"
+1 We could do something spooky maybe, Elvis' ghost...
Cimrman
The Czech character is, IMHO, a bit obscure for an international audience so we may have to go here with the astronomy thing.
+1
Alexander
I would liked more to have in the suggestion list some references for secondary meanings, we know is a common name, was a Greek king... something else to try than the same old Greek theme.
+1 I think there's a lot of possibilities here tho. Alexander Graham Bell, Alexander Method, or maybe the movie Moondance Alexander which is about ponies which leads to a OMG!!!!! PONIES!!@!#!@$!@$ theme!
Stradivari
Music, classic, fine art.
+1
Those are some ideas I got "on the spot", with some thinking I am sure we can find some more, so any choice is doable (but I would not be happy with repeating an "Ancient Greece" theme).
Same here, no repeats!
