A theme consists of a whole set of graphics. You do NOT need to do them all until a decision has been made which artwork will be distributed with the next release of Debian GNU/Linux.

But you should know that all these graphics have to be done at some point - and you should be willing to do them.

The Debian logo has been relicensed since Wheezy. So you are welcome to use the swirl and the word "debian", written in the font "Poppl Laudatio Condensed" with a red dot for the "i".
