Usplash screen: Call for new artwork!

Post by clem »

Hi,

As you might be aware, Linux Mint 2.1 Bea is planned to be released for mid-December. Time goes fast and one of our major concern with this release is: We still don't have a proper Linux Mint usplash screen.

If you're talented, have skills in this area, and you're willing to help, please come with some suggestions. We badly need artwork in that area.

Hi Areo,

It has a transparent background: http://linuxmint.com/forum/images/avata ... a48f2c.gif

However, it's not of great quality.

I designed this Live CD splash last night. If you want you can use it to create a usplash theme:

Tiptup300: This looks quite nice. Can you make a usplash.so and put it in a .deb ? You can look at the source code for usplash-theme-bea to see how it's done. I'd like to change the usplash for Bianca and have some green stuff instead. Can you make a green version of this as a usplash, or/and use the little green logo as well ?

We can talk about it on the IRC if you want. It's not that hard to put the deb together... the hard part of the job is to actually play and figure out how to use the colormap on the pictures..

... for instance, the progress bar is using a particular subset of the colormap. There's a lot of gimping in other words, not to much packaging in fact :)

Hmm... I'm not sure tiptup, the Gimp is a great tool... but if you're used to Photoshop, what can I say :)

Or that PhotoGimp, Gimp edition. :D I've never used Photoshop and always used The Gimp, and I'm absolutely bloody useless at graphics, but thats nothing to do with the software.

I like it allot, but any chance of having the forum logo (the one in the top left just to be sure that you know the one I am talking about) incorporated? I think that would look good in the space towards the top.
