<div>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.<br></div>

<br>Nathan, do you have a working design file I can use? Or at least a background PNG without the lettering?<br><br>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.<br>
</div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I agree with this, it needs a little more white space between the words.<br></div><div> </div><div>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.</div>

Currently, all splash screen drafts I have seen are heavily based on<br>
swisstopo maps. While I personally like these very well-done maps, I<br>
don't see the connection between these and QGIS. For me, looking at the<br>
splashes feels like looking at a swisstopo advertisement.<br>
I would prefer a version, where we show off the new features of QGIS<br>
and/or having a historical map instead of just showing a standard<br>
product of the official Swiss map-makers.<br>

I agree with Matthias, and I'll suggest again (as Andreas did before) to try the dufour map: <a href="http://s.geo.admin.ch/09751c84f" target="_blank">http://s.geo.admin.ch/<u></u>09751c84f</a> or maybe the sigfriedkarte<br>
