[Live-demo] 5.0 graphics drafts

[Alex Mandel]

Here's an updated version of the DVD, which can easily be applied to the
Jacket. The yellow is now closer to a recommended color from the makers
of the OSGeo logo, and the fade is more yellow than red as that color
works better with the OSGeoLive logo, also did a slight fade on the
foss4g so the red isn't as strong. I am very hesitant to not use the
official colors for the logos and actually might need to adjust them to
print right (just noticed the 4.5 discs are a little purple).

I made minor changes to the text, not 100% what you said, but I'll try
that next to see what it looks like.

Thanks,
