Mine and Viviane are the same, she was working at my computer.
I like things more compact, we studied Firefox, apple and red hat ads
before creating this one,
The david one I didn't personally liked because:

- Too much text
- Strange Colors ( Yellow over blue background? )
- 90's

Mine and Viviane I didn't liked because:

- Maybe too vague for those that doesn't know KDE
- the balls inside of the nepomuk logo could have a bit of '3d', but I
was unable to do that.

All in all, I prefer a clean ad.
