Create countdown banners for Intrepid:
The banners will be made available from 30 days prior to release on October 30th.
There is no issue with making a number of these available. It is not desirable to use the code name for Ubuntu 8.10. Ubuntu is for everyone, for novice users especially and Intrepid Ibex is 'insider-speak', great for our internal reference but exclusionary to new arrivals.
Other than that - go for it - the more creative the better.
Historical
8.04 countdown for syndication - 
note that it is too big for most sites - should have been a standard banner size like 180x150 (standard sizes can be found here)
8.04 countdown for ubuntu.com - 
designed to mate against the masthead banner on the homepage
7.10 countdown for syndication - 
7.10 countdown for ubuntu.com - 
Javascript to display them is quite simple and can be seen here - http://www.ubuntu.com/files/countdown/display.js (it gets modified at release time in order to change the image from "almost ready" to "its here" when the release team gives the ok.

Comment from nealmcb: thorwil - I love the counting by hands approach - very human!
It might be too esoteric or difficult to lay out, but would also be cool in other ways, to use Sign Language, which takes fewer hands: http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesArticle/Counting-on-Numbers-in-Sign-Language.id-1972.html ---
