@Neil here is the answer from the designer: NetBeans in the same font-weight would be strange as already a seperation by the small and upper case takes place. This is only supported once again by the bold Net. It also highlights the digital approach and networking.
The other thing, what came into my mind, after you ask was, why is already a separation of NetBeans? Why not Netbeans? Maybe Geertjan can smth about the Name. For the others who don’t like the style of the new splash Screens or missing stuff like feathers etc. first I will provide some more, different styles later, in a couple of days or so and I will provide a ticket to collect all ideas to maybe have a vote later. Sure we can have a feather, sure we can have Apache, sure we can have signs in the Background. It is up to all of us to provide ideas. I started, I will go on, you can do the same, you have the PSD or the Images, or tage the splash_nb.gif inside the netbeans Folder to Change it. For my perspective, we can’t find a common splash Screen for everyone, I don’t like the current ones since 7.0 or so, because it Looks not modern and the eyes are eating too so I would like to provide a new, modern, better looking style for the logo, the splash Screen and the page. Some likes it, some not but in the end, there is so much Branding outside there, see visual Studio over the years and intelliJ to, only netbeans didn’t get a rebranding of the page, the logo and the UI (except from the darcula 3rd-party-plugin) and the splash Screen for yeeeeears. It is time to have a modern DIE now and this could happen under Apache. It is often a style Thing, If I don’t like what I see, I will not use it, if there are alternatives (except from others like Features, etc.). Everything needs a Change. A Change could be good or bad, but a change is better than no change. Regards Chris Von: Neil C Smith Gesendet: Mittwoch, 28.

But one question I asked before and I don't think was answered - what's the thought behind emphasising the Net in NetBeans? Has that ever been done before? Personally I'd prefer the emphasis just on the IDE text with NetBeans uniform lighter weight.
