[Qgis-developer] Splash screen for 2.0

I'd stick to a no frills version:

http://ubuntuone.com/63RgGmwLnmiOz9t4PZCBgT
http://ubuntuone.com/2zsvWL3Liccsm3Zhkzrgkh

First uses Helvetiva, second Univers.

I'm not sure if too many colors really work (green and yellow from logo, blue/white from map and red frim text...).

-1 for red ... imho, only create a visual using red, yellow, green and blue if you have a compelling reason. For me, already having yellow, green and blue borders on tropical fruit plate ...

+1 for ordinary rectangle
-1 for octagon or rounded corners ... let's keep it simple - except if there is a compelling reason to do otherwise

I like the background map and would not mind the slightly rotated logo.

Best wishes,
Anita

Blue is really nice.

I also like the idea of the "octagon"!

Some thoughts re Nathan's latest iterations:
- Red is a no-go for me, both because it's been associated through time with "oups, something's gone wrong, error"
- I would get rid of rounded corners for splash screen, it's so 1990s ;) rounded shapes are also foreign to GIS environment. If rectangle is too "boring", you could have a stretched octagon:

\______________/
- Not a super fan of the rotated QGIS logo, I'd straighten it out.

Here are a blue and red version.

IMO the red just doesn't work.  The red on blue just looks strange.

Why not leave the logo Q flowing off the splash I think it looks quite good.

I do think that the font all needs to be the same colour or shades of the same colour, Having different colours doesn't look good at all.

Can't say I'm a fan of the red. It's a bit of a harsh colour to use IMO.  The blue looked nice because it matched the blue on the background map.

Hi

Nice - how about with the Dufour in caps, red and right aligned?

Hi

What about doing the text in 'Swiss' red, plain and flat?

Hi all,

These are some interesting improvements.

I like it how the arrow points to the "Dufourspitze" and also the
transparency aspect of the arrow. I also like the new arrangement of
version number and code name "Dufour".

You may want to try the text without the borders - just plain fill
without the border.

I would either use the original proposal that I did with the 3D-looking
borders (filter effect) or no border at all, if you want to go for a
flat look.
