I love where that idea is going. I think you could make the rocket
trails do something like a DNA strand or something like that would be
cool. I also like the kind of one sidedness of the background.
As do I. The desktop background works best which does not demand a
lot of attention. I'd much rather see something on the Fedora desktop
*inspired* by the release name than being a direct, verbal
interpretation. That inspiration aspect can keep the background more
figurative, subtle, and less likely to clash with graphical objects
like icons and windows.
