Spent some time studying some gears and reference photos for this possible composition and idea. Nice and simple, just to get started. Would be great to have a 3D render of gears interacting, that we could spin around and choose the composition of.

Hi @madelinepeck ! Experimented with generating few images in Gemini based on your sketch :)
Ooh @armanwu these look really cool! I especially like the first and third ones! Their compositions, style, and colors are really great inspiration. The other two are interesting but a bit too cartoony for my taste 😆. But it's good to explore anyway and see what works better. Thank you for sharing these!
Hi, a comment from my daughter following her art teacher style of commenting: the idea is nice but doesn't link to Alan Touring or Enigma, they can be just two random gears. Would be nice having an element that connects to Alan Touring. She also mentioned she'll use the 4th one as background for her smartphone as she likes it very much.
Hey thanks for the feedback! The subdued rainbow light is also connected to Turing, and it’s all about what the gears actually symbolize instead of being literal. The goal for the wallpaper is to keep it simple, visually appealing, and calm to look at. More detail can sometimes make it too busy but it’s something to keep in mind!
Since this is just the sketch phase it might be possible, if we go down this route, to add specific gears/hardware used in enigma.
If you look back at all of the other fedora wallpapers though, everything from at least 36 (if not further back) has also been inspired by a person or word in STEAM. Some are more on the nose, but with all of them I doubt you’d be able to tell who/what inspired it just by looking at the final art. The inspiration is more of a jumping off point so we have at least somewhere visually to start. Glad she liked Arman’s gemini generated ideas :)
Submitting this on behalf of my 13yo daughter, Arianna Bonazzola.
This is a quick sketch, first time using Krita with a very old graphic tablet so I'm sorry for the quality. I reused the concept suggested by Madeline but I wanted to represent the first gear as carved from a silicon chip representing the AI and the second gear carved out of a neuron representing humanity, the two of them running the imitation game of the Turing test. The light between them is inspired at his work on the light. On the gears there may be letters and numbers linking it to the Enigma code he cracked. The deadline for the concept is tomorrow and I had not enough time to play with Krita trying to make it better. I got so much into Alan Turing I decided to write my final exam presentation around him. Thank you so much for letting me participate in this!
As she's too young for having access to Gemini, here's a rendering I got generated from her suggestion.

Your daughters original artwork is fantastic - it's raw and full of feeling.
Please let's not submit AI artworks! Madeline is a fantastic artist!
I too would like to see more explicit representation of the subject keyword - in this case Turing. Cogs are very generic.

Ah haha, thank you for the compliment @theprogram. The design team has agreed that going forward, AI-generated visuals are okay in the sketch and idea phase, if it helps people with their suggestions. Of course, since AI-generated art can't be copyrighted, and we require the wallpapers to be made in open source programs, so the final works will be human made :)

My compliments to the artist! You should be very proud of your creation. It's such a struggle in the beginning when learning a new medium/program, so this is awesome to see!
@madelinepeck Are we moving towards #23 now?
(Also, maybe make a project for the wallpaper issues?)
