Other people have already pointed out that removing the nebula will
probably help reduce the number of colors.
You mean the red nebula, right? I will remove it soon. How about the
light around the planet? Maybe I can try to change the red nebula into
a light one, just like the one around the planet.
The "x86_32" should simply be "x86".
Some of guys said "x686". I think it must come from the kernel
version. Maybe I can just use "32-bit CD" and "64-bit DVD" or
something like this?
We still need some additional text that describes for the recipient
how
to use the media in hand. I think I suggested some text for this
earlier:

I am still struggling on this, since some of them said that too many
words in the sleeve is not a good design. DVD is ok somehow, since the
space is enough. However, I think the one needs more words is the live-
cd. I am now planning to add a small label like "Insert&Enjoy" for
live-cd and "Install&Enjoy" for DVD. How do you think about it, guys?
You can find my drafts of two labels here(The characters are white-
color, so you may see nothing in your browser. Download to your
desktop and open it :-):

See later messages -- "For all Intel-compatible PCs" would be better.

Using the Fedora trademark this way is unfortunately not in line with
our guidelines.
As far as "insert and enjoy," it's a very nice instruction but
unfortunately doesn't explain how to really use the Live CD. If the
user inserts it in her running system, that instruction hasn't really
helped at all. We need some particular text that tells the user how to
boot from the CD to experience Fedora, and that there's an installation
option if the results are enjoyable.
