[Qgis-developer] Splash screen for 2.0

Tue Jul 16 02:35:06 PDT 2013

sorry if I did not follow the whole thread ..
but is the version with the Logo overlay already gone? I liked that a lot ..
Had a very nice look .. and the idea of pointing the arrow to the tip
of the mountain was even better ..

to summarize .. the colours are fine now .. I am just asking about the Logo
:)

regards
Werner
