I think there should be a balance between consistency and functionality.

For instance it would be more consistent to use our default wallpaper 
as gdm/kdm login too. This would also make the transition from login 
to desktop a bit smoother.

On the other hand some people would find that boring and prefer to 
have the name of the distro at boot, the slogan in the splashscreen, a 
nice rocket at login, etc.etc. I think this is a matter of taste and 
not my decision to make.

The swirl is in the upper right corner of the grub picture, isn't it? 
At least as I understand it, the fumes of the rocket shall look like 
our swirl.

Yes, in my opinion too. We should keep this in mind for the next 
artworks.
