Good catch! Actually, it is even more than that: the whole brush should be pointing in the opposite direction (unless the artist is starting to paint a second line on top of the first one). When you are painting, the brush is usually pointing in the opposite direction of the existing stroke, which is not very convenient for the image layout. I would certainly vote for the lastest splash screen if it could be fixed. Some suggestions for Tigert (because I am not much of an artist so I cannot do that myself): - Move the existing ink line a bit higher (or lower) and start a second one where the tip of the brush is. - Or do things differently: instead of a simple line, draw a large circle in dark red ink around the GIMP letters. The advantage of a circle is that the brush comes back where it started, but with the correct orientation. - Add some perspective on the background. - The tip of the brush should be soaked with ink.
