If you’d like the world to see that you’re excited about the upcoming event, or maybe you’d like to confuse a friend with that intertwined logo, these will make a nice addition to your Lock and Home screens, as well as desktops.
A special shoutout goes to our regular contributor @AR72014 for coming up with these wallpapers so quickly after the announcement.
