Hi,
It's time to get the splash ready. This thread seems to agree with the
general direction of the drafts Nathan posted. I've therefore prepared
three variants of the design:

Please use the star feature to vote on the design(s) you prefer and leave
comments on the image page if you think something should be changed. I'll
check all the feedback and create the final version on Sunday evening
(Sept 1st, CEST).
Best wishes,
Anita

Here is a version with the green but also the full logo:

+1, I think the layout and color selection are good. The layout doesn't
include that dark grey border, does it? If so, please consider removing
it.
I think the Q logo should be smaller, say 1/3 the splash hight and
nestled
into the top left corner (with some white space around it) and with no
transparency.
Also, the font used for 'QGIS' is rather weak and, to be frank, a bit
goofy-looking (especially the Q). I have a huge assortment of
professional
fonts which I can work with to find something better.
Agreed - though can you please use a font that is free or at least
easily
available and provide the final splash as a gimp xcf so that we can
easily
re-use it in future releases.
Nathan, do you have a working design file I can use? Or at least a
background PNG without the lettering?
There appears to be no leading between the lines 'QGIS 2.0' and
'Dufour,'
nor spacing between 'QGIS' and '2.0.' Was this intended? I do kind of
like
the effect, however. Usually when this is done in design, at minimum,
the
coloring of the two words/lines is different, even if just a difference
in
tone of the same color.
I agree with this, it needs a little more white space between the words.
Also a note that we usually store the master splash in much higher
resolution so that it can be used in posters / printed products etc. A
downsampled one is then used for the final splash. Ideally in future
releases we would just swap out the background image and edit the text
containing the version and name.
Regards
Tim

Currently, all splash screen drafts I have seen are heavily based on
swisstopo maps. While I personally like these very well-done maps, I
don't see the connection between these and QGIS. For me, looking at
the
splashes feels like looking at a swisstopo advertisement.
I would prefer a version, where we show off the new features of QGIS
and/or having a historical map instead of just showing a standard
product of the official Swiss map-makers.
I agree with Matthias, and I'll suggest again (as Andreas did before)
to
try the dufour map:
http://s.geo.admin.ch/**09751c84f<http://s.geo.admin.ch/09751c84f>or
maybe the sigfriedkarte
