Awesome wallpapers, but the AppStorm logo sometimes screws it up. Other than that they’re great :)

News flash: Mac wallpaper ≠ AppStorm wallpaper. I don’t want something that says “AppStorm” in corny writing on my desktop. I’m find with an Apple logo.

  Same here. That’s why I didn’t put the AppStorm logo on any of my entries.

  Agreed. Alot of these, the logo is just thrown in and totally ruins the wallpaper.
  
  Especially considering how large the logo is on most of them.
  
  Really too bad. I hope the artists post links to versions without the AppStorm logo, especially this one:

    Yeah, I don’t get it…AppStorm is a nice blog, but the Wallstreet Journal is a nice newspaper, and I don’t plan on having their logo on my desktop. A lot of these are very nice, but the AppStorm logo completely screws it up. A couple of them actually have the AppStorm thing in there and it looks nice because they actually worked on it, instead of throwing it in there just to have it on there.

Agreed. Your logo is neat and all, but I don’t want it on my desktop. The few without the logo are pretty keen. Thanks for sharing.

This is like a very long infomercial. Take out the appstorm logos then we talk good wallpaper.
