Custom IBM Wallpapers for your favorite ThinkPad/ThinkCentre

#1 Post by IBM » Fri Jun 24, 2011 8:57 pm

Hey all,

I am an amateur graphic designer using GIMP, and I made a few wallpapers featuring the IBM logo (my favorite company logo in the world!) Here are links to all the wallpapers I have made so far!
(For those who do not feel like clicking each individual link, you may visit the file repository here

Here are the individual Photobucket links:

I can resize them into a wide screen ratio, but these were meant for the IBM Thinkpads, the ones with only a 4:3 ratio screen. Lenovo ThinkPads will have to wait until I make wallpapers for them. :D I am not much of a Lenovo fan, I think when Lenovo took over, ThinkPads started to decrease in quality dramatically.

My X220i is as good as any Thinkpad I've used. That's what I know.

Some of the Lenovo ThinkPads are good, I like the W series, but I just think that Lenovo is trying to "modernize" the build of the classic ThinkPad that we all have come to know and love. The old fashioned clamshell design, the keyboard touchtype resistance, the strong, rugged feel of the case, and the rubberized LCD top cover. Lenovo has done away with most of these traits that have made the original ThinkPad such a popular business tool.

Now, I am not saying that I totally hate Lenovo, I never said that I "hate" Lenovo, but I merely disagree with their changes to the ThinkPad styling.
