Do we have such a team? Who are the Trinity art wizards?
As I revise the help files I'm finding many images deep in the sources that need updating to Trinity logos and identities to replace the KDE3 generation of art work.
I'm filing bug reports and submitting a handful of images I can change with my feeble graphics skills. Yet graphics is not my strong point and others with those skills could update these images much faster than me and provide professional results.
I see an opportunity here for people to contribute to the project by updating these many files for R14.
Is anybody interested?

I'd love to help but lack the skills with image manipulation programs, inkscape or whatever. Wouldn't mind some tutoring though, if anyone can help with that.

I'll put my hand up. My last job was a graphic designer and i have a pretty good knowledge of image editing and design. Free time is my main problem. After releasing Porteus rc1 tomorrow i should have a little more free time, and will no doubt have a few bugs to iron out, of which, any Trinity bugs i can report upstream.
If you can point me to the graphics i can do something with them.

I can point to a few images needing attention, but a proper approach is for volunteers to scan the entire GIT tree for image files (PNG, JPG, GIF, etc.) and actually view each file. Reviewing images does not require artists, just people wanting to contribute to the project in some way who have eyesight and Trinity installed somewhere.
Yes, a couple of seconds per image to view is some serious time. Yes, there are thousands of files and a significant majority will be background types of images that are fine as is. Yet reviewing each image is the only way to complete a comprehensive review to ensure we will end all branding issues.
Anything with a "K" or KDE logos needs attention. For example, in the GIT sources look at tdebase/tdm/kfrontend/pics/kdelogo-crystal.png.
Every desktop or screen grab image has to be reviewed for not-immediately-obvious remnants of KDE3. For example, there is a screen grab image in kaffeine that shows the old KDE3 logo (dvblive.jpg).
Use etherpad to note which app directories have been reviewed and to create a punch list of files needing attention.
Those who have some image software skills can drill through the list and start submitting updated files. I'm a far cry from anything resembling an artist, but to help I would not mind learning a trick or two with graphics software. If somebody with experience posted a mini how-to specifically for updating these files, many of us could help with the final list.
To whomever reviews these images: anything with Konqi the dragon mascot should be added to a separate list. When a new mascot is approved then we'll know which images and artwork needs to be updated.
Side comment: we should eat our own dog food and use Trinity apps. :)
