At home all the systems have the Debian default artwork which is usually abstract and subtle. I don't use icons, and I full screen most programs, so I mostly don't see it most of the time anyway. At work I put up with whatever the client wants, though if I can get rid of their default and just have a solid black background then that's what I do.

Corporate logos are all good and well, but if you can't work out what the icons are then it's not much use... At one firm I worked for, the security team didn't want branding to be visible as they thought it was a risk, but marketing wanted it on everything, and so our badges and laptops all sported corporate logos....

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
