Yes, I used one of the countdown banners, but now that the release
is over, I was looking for a replacement. so I was just wondering if
there would be or come in the future, some nice "official" banners :)
I think it could become quite popular :)

yes, I love his work :)
I was looking for more portrait layouted posters though, but I guess one
could get there by getting a bit creative ;)
I also quite like some of the what powers your gear series, but they
seem less suitable for printing to me.
Don't look back is also great (I adore the sheep one!!) but not appealing
to people who don't know the history behind the kde4.0 release. they
wouldn't understand the humor :)

anyway, at fosdem last year, I saw a very big KDE poster (portrait layout)
and wondered if there were more like that and maybe available online.

that's actually a great tip! I took a look yesterday and couldn't decide
which one to print.. so let's just print them all on small size and scatter
them throughout the office! =) heheheh, very nice tip.

thanks for your time!
