Hi. I've been following this discussion, and I'd like to propose an alternative based on this proposal. I really like the original photo and I think the manipulation doesn't do justice to it, so what about using the original photo instead? It's very nice, has a pretty balanced composition and more or less illustrates one of the features that have been enhanced in 2.8. So I created these splashes for your consideration. I have made two designs: One with the shaded wilber and other using a flat version of wilber (the same used in the empty window). http://dl.dropbox.com/u/255376/gimp/gimp-splash_gez-V1.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/255376/gimp/gimp-splash_gez-V2.png There's an extra sample with a semitransparent black stripe at the bottom, intended to contain the splash messages. This is optional, since text is readable on the photographic background, so there isn't really need to use it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/255376/gimp/gimp-splash_gez-V1b.png Regarding the typefaces, I used Dave Crossland's Cantarell as placeholder, since it's the default font in Gnome3, I think it should blend pretty good. However, I've heard that some people is working on a new wordmark for GIMP, so this font choice might be only temporary if the new logo is ready and agreed before the release of 2.8 Kind regards, Gez. _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
