Thanks again for all this Vicent. I too like the grassy continents in green. The white lettering on this is a nice contrast to the dark lettering on the startup too. Fira Sans is a good font. It really updates the looks of this.

Hi Martin, thank you…
I just updated the wiki page to suggest a font substitution : Fira Sans
is a very clean sans serif typeface, under the SIL Open Font License. I
find an intersting contrast with garamond serif.
Bye,
V.

With potential tweaking, would this version (splash5) bring all you
developers to a kind of consensus ?
I made a greyish one (splash6) in order to:
* propose something more sober (academic?);
* bring to foreground the grass green color;
* and display the logo the historical way.
Maybe a too dull rendering ?
Thanks for participating,
V.

I don't see font consistency between welcome banner and this splash
screen (including lower-case and upper-case). With the current welcome
banner proposals I would choose splash4. Martin
I think that is because Vincent has not yet done a startup screen with Fira Sans in lower case.

Yes, I did not take the time to update previous tests, Fontin typeface
can definitely not be used. I should update all splashes with Fira.

I like splash5, except for one point: I do not like the separation of the logo and the text. For me they are so linked to each other that it looks weird to see them apart. Any chance of putting them back together ?
But I'll definitely won't make an issue of this...

Yes. And the parts with low-cut grass look a bit like drought to me...

It's essentially a matter of page settings... squaring the circle. What
looks balanced to ones will look ugly to others. I try to think of a
different layout.

I find it weird too, but definitely no time to set up again a new
Blender scene.
