I have put together a (very simple) CD face design so that we can have CDs for sale on the Haiku store. Here is what I have come up with:

I have kept the text on the CD to a bare minimum; if you would like to see anything added added, now is the time to speak. :)
If you find a spot for "R1" or "Release 1", it would be nice, but even if not, I like it as is.

I love the design! Agreed on perhaps putting Release 1 somewhere, or maybe also a date, or at least a year. But it would be fine as is. My first thought was also to move everything closer to the center, but I believe real CDs could be transparent or at least look funny towards the center, so it's probably perfect as is.

Thanks for all the feedback. Here is a slightly modified version...

...which adds the following:

1) Release version
2) An exclamation mark to draw attention to the alpha software disclaimer
3) The Haiku Ladybug

I am not so sure about 2 and 3: they seem to clutter an otherwise clean/elegant design IMO. Thoughts?

Cheers,

Jorge/aka Koki
