Comment (by mapk):

 It's great to see some other directions we can take this page! From the
 mockups on this ticket, it looks like a dark background is workable, but
 removing the white box can make it seem too dark. Does that sound about
 right?

 Here are some other changes I see in the mockups:

 * Intro text: I really like the idea of adding intro text to better
 explain where the user is going after logging in.
 * Adding ".org" to the logo: This has been requested a lot and could be a
 great addition to differentiate from typical WordPress installs.
 * Adding "wordpress.org" to the login button: I hadn't thought about
 adding wordpress.org to the login button. With the other changes, would
 this be too much?
 * White box around content: Personally, I find adding a white box around
 all the content to be too constraining. I lean toward open spaces and
 allowing the elements themselves to define the boundaries. Maybe we can
 try placing the form in the box, but leaving the other elements outside of
 it?
   * One reason I decided to remove the white box was to allow more
 flexibility when incorporating the OAuth stuff. @hugobaeta's mockup shows
 a side-by-side view, which I explored as well, but I was concerned about
 how this would look on mobile devices. Do you have ideas here?
 * Moving "login" inline with "forgot password": I personally liked the
 fully-extended button better with my current design (no white box) because
 it helped define space. If we go back to using a box around the form, then
 having the button inline with the 'forgot password' checkbox should work
 just fine.

 I really appreciate everyone taking some time to work through their
 thoughts. It's immensely helpful.
