     This one is less abstract.

    Ahh, so now I can write outside the caption, not sure what went on there.... Anyway, I have to say I'm a big fan of the menues of Dirt3, so I made a couple wallpapers inspired by the triangle astetic. Whats your consensus Giantbomb, you like? Also, heres the hi res versions, http://i.imgur.com/FRG4y.jpg  ,   http://i.imgur.com/0B1Pw.jpg    http://i.imgur.com/L53A3.jpg    http://i.imgur.com/WWx9D.jpg     http://i.imgur.com/Jv146.jpg
    Than this minimalist design.  And since I can't write outside this caption for whatever reason, I have to say, how do you like them?

     EDIT: Here's the most abstract one, I just made. the dirt logo clashed with the design, so it's left out.

     And another, maybe the least abstract, I don't know...

    They look great. :)
     
    If I didn't have OCD that forces me to keep my current wallpaper, I'd definitely use the second one.

    Just to note, some people are asking to use these, FEEL FREE, I am flattered people want to save these, it was just a quick boredom thing. If you're republishing them though, I'd like a little credit ;)

    @BestUsernameEver: these are awesome. 
     
    I like #3 the best since its abstract but still ties into the game. 
    The geometric pattern in #4 is nice too, esp. with the blurred focus around the margin 
     
    good job!

    I can absolutely see that. I think they are a little too busy/patterny for some people. Though, someone pointed out a printing method on textured cards, I think that'd be pretty cool.

    Loving the minimalist one sans the logo. Set it as my wallpaper :). I don't know how you've done these but they look fantastic. You should get some practice in with squares for the next DiRT game.

    I like them, I like the second the most but only becuase it has a car in there and I sort of expected more cars in Dirt 3 themed wall papers.

    My DiRT 3 Fragpedal configuration skinned w/ BUE's wallpaper 
    @BUE I hope you don't mind -- I wanted to see what your wallpapers would look like w/ my set-up, and it's great! For reasons of readability and the button overlays, I think this one definitely looks better than the others for this purpose. Sometimes it's good to have an image that's less abstract and has more concrete references, especially when parts of it are obscured. Is your design work limited to Dirt 3? Do you have similar wallpapers for other games?
