Dylan, you were totally right ... Unfortunately, Ubuntu 13.10 is now
EOL.

Title:
  Saucy_Salamander_Abstract wallpaper conflicts with brand guidelines

Status in ubuntu-wallpapers package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  In the Saucy Salamander wallpapers set, the image
  Saucy_Salamander_Abstract_by_José_Vera_alcivar.jpg contains an
  abstract illustration of a salamander and a slightly tweaked rendering
  of the Ubuntu logo. The image contains a deep purple, textured
  background and it is stored as a low quality jpg image.

  The Ubuntu logo section of the brand guide (http://design.ubuntu.com/brand/ubuntu-logo) lists several specific rules, and we are clearly going against some of those:
  The circle of friends in this wallpaper is not quite a circle.
  The logo is not being placed against a brand colour.
  The logo is not using one of the six available colourways.
  There is not sufficient empty space between the logo and other elements.

  In addition, as a result of the compression (and the nature of scaling
  rendered text in a bitmap, as will always be happening in a background
  picture), the logo appears fuzzy. There is nothing in particular that
  says this is off brand, but I'm sure we can agree it is: Ubuntu's logo
  is sharp and precise, and it should stay that way.

  Suggested remedies: Get this image as a PNG, relocate the logo with
  the correct shape and colours, or remove the logo from the image
  altogether.
