I liked the name Tristian from the very beginning. When Philip first
designed the graphic, I thought it needed "a little tweaking", and this
update from Sebastião has done exactly that.

I like dragons and I'm not saying we have to replace them everywhere. I
also like polar bears. And the polar bear gives us the opportunity to have
a mascot, which allows us to have our own face, which prevents confusion
with the dragons in KDE.

Cheers

Hi all,

Following the discussion here, I have created a pull request in
TDE/tdeartwork:

PR #66 — [Proposal] Tristian artwork for discussion

I included the wallpaper together with the related Tristian artwork and
some of the visual ideas I have been experimenting with.

The intention is not to assume that the whole set should be adopted or
to replace anything immediately. I simply wanted to put the material in
a concrete place where it can be reviewed and discussed, and then the
project can decide what, if anything, would be useful to keep.

If there is interest in particular parts, I can of course adjust,
reorganize or split them into smaller PRs as appropriate.

And thanks again for the feedback on Tristian. It is particularly nice
to see that the connection with the original 2021 concept is still
recognizable.

Cheers,

Sebastião
