I need a new wallpaper, and I would very much like one that in some way has GamingOnLinux branding on it. Here's your chance to shine and win something.
Rules
1) Enter as many as you like
2) It must somehow have "GamingOnLinux.com" or "GamingOnLinux" on it and be easily readable
3) Ideally have it in a format that's easy to edit
4) No art taken directly from games (that includes screenshots, logos etc, it's a legal grey area)
5) You don't have to use our penguin logo!
Accepted licenses
All the wallpapers submitted will need to be under Creative Commons BY-4.0 or CC0
Since I will be using it for personal and GOL related uses, I need to be able to use it without restrictions, so those licenses seem fair to allow the same to others.
Where to host it
You can use any image upload website like imgur to upload it and link it in the comments.
Resolution and source files
Resolutions: At least 1920x1080, one that scales okay to higher and lower would be awesome.
Please keep the source file, I may need higher resolutions in future and may want to make adjustments. If the chosen winner does not have the source file, a new winner will be chosen.
What can I win?
Your choice, I can either donate £20 to a FOSS/Linux related project/website of your choice or you can be gifted games worth £20 from any store that accepts gifting games.
Don't feel bad if you want the games, not everyone can afford what they want it's totally cool either way!
When does it end
Sunday July 3rd 9PM UTC.
Winner chosen by me alone.
Go get creative!
I am hoping to do more fun little competitions like this as time goes on, stay tuned. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
The comments on this article are closed.
The wallpaper I made is more basic than many of the others here, because I am not a very great designer, but I felt it might at least be worth posting. This was made in Pinta, which is like Paint.NET for Linux with some extra limitations. In the very background there is blurred out Steam listings, all of which are for Linux/SteamOS. The line that appears to be a graph represents the amount of Linux Steam users, taken from this article. The top right is styled like the Linux Mint terminal, since that is what I happen to be using at the moment.
Honestly, I don't think my wallpaper turned out very good, especially compared to some of the wallpapers in some of the other posts, which are actually pretty good. I don't want to waste my work, so I will post what I have made and may try to improve and make a better wallpaper from scratch. I feel this wallpaper is a bit creative, but just doesn't look nice enough when everything was put together.
Here are the links to my wallpaper:

Quoting: GuestYour wallpapers are cool SangreDeReptil but it’s a bit strange that the gamepad is so blurry.The gamepad texture is blurred on purpose, because if it's very clear, the cable wouldn't be visible and the general image would be confusing (I wanted to make it that way in the beginning, and it didn't work). Though, the texture is in a separate layer, so, if necessary, can be easily changed. Thanks for your feedback!

Quoting: SangreDeReptilAll used assets (the penguin and the hearts) were taken from free photo sites.Just keep in mind that the free photo sites might have licenses that are incompatible with Creative Commons BY-4.0 and/or CC0, thus preventing their use in this competition. But that should be easy to check if you remember where you got them.

You should make a new article, announcing who the winner was. This single message, as a conclusion, felt a bit abrupt. :)
