Hmbf. Im getting used to qiv, one more non-free s/w to ditch, can't
somebody fix that program instead? Which viewer do you propose
instead?

Btw. if possible, try to use the LT yellow (see website) for the logo
(0xFFD000).

Err... that was wrong. It should read " if you need a red background".

Signal colours are fine. But please take into account that certain
colour pairs don't match. black on red, black on blue, blue on
yellow, green on red etc. hurt the eyes...
In 2000 we had white on blue, which is fine. White on red should be
fine as well.
In 2002 there was a sticker (circle with bars) and "untested BETA!"
printed on the cover as well. It may be good to discuss if we need
that as well - just in case Woody doesn't get released in time.

No, I seem to recall that the above statement referred to the Text
"debian".

No pink please...
try green, try blue.

You'll have to negotiate for that with grisu who has to negotiate with
the sponsors, but I'd rather expect the logos to be placed at the
cover, just like it was done for the last two years.

I'd say that it belongs to the front cover. LinuxTag is a *large*
sponsor, they pay for the booth and take the hassle to ensure it'll
actually be there.
Also this is the LinuxTag edition, so why not placing the common logo
of it on the cover, people know it and can associate the CD with the
correct event.

Can you provide proposals how to give her credit? In newspapers there
would be a small (6pt, 4pt) note "Picture: Helen Horrible", maybe
rotated by -90°
