Hi Will,
To be shamelessly honest ;), I HATE the splash screen, with that curly
staff system and coloured notes it looks like it's made for a children's
ear-training app, IMHO...
Oh dear.
I never thought of that, and can certainly see your point.
I don't know that whole yoshimi and flaming lips story, but I've made
photos in Teotihuacan when I was there in 1996/7.
I'm no graphics designer, but there's an idea I had since a while:
The pink robot part of the splash screen pretty much reminds me of the
numerous reliefs of the rain-god Tlaloc there, see
http://riccardobudini.photoshelter.com/image/I0000Jm.8Z4xon3I for example...
If that's an idea to follow, I can supply scans of the pics I have (I
hope I haven't lost the scans I've made once long ago), if you can't
find CC'd photographs
Edgar
That's certainly interesting.
One thing I'm fairly convinced of is that our actual desktop icon should never
change - as a matter of 'brand' recognition, but we can be far more flexible
with the splash screen.
Maybe a large rain god could be towering over a very scared and diminished
robot, although I've no idea what text could go with it.
Hmmm, just looked this up on the 'net. There are a lot of confusingly different
images there and none like the one you showed :(
