Splash Screen
« on: March 15, 2010, 12:18:13 am »
I told my wife about the splash screen contest to see if she wanted to participate and well she said yes :D. The svg for this is available on demand made on inkscape so colors can be changed as needed. Any suggestions are welcome. Also the old splash screen said "The open source, cross-platform IDE" I told her to dont include it to keep it international xD in any case let us know, well here is what she made:

The very first one would be my favorite here... Looks pretty good except that the "C" seems to be somehow stretched?! Or is that by intention?

Thanks for the great work!!!
I prefer the third one, but I suggest the Release Date could be : 2010-04-10. (This is more general time format, especially for Chinese people :D)

If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

Yeah, it could be use the way that is more convenient. I don't know much about it, so I put that for example.  I think is a "simple" splash screen, but let you to put on it the words you want. I think it'll fix the slogan, web address, release date, and svn. Well, any suggestion is appreciated, I'm happy to help.

Remember: The "release date" is actually not a date, but a scheme. We use the Ubuntu release scheme which is simply like YY/MM. So it should read: "Release : 10/04" (targetting April 2010, for example).

Oh - and btw (not to forget): The new ones look pretty good, too! Great job!

The third one from the second set is good (a bit more blueish for my taste).
You could add a reflection for the c::b's logo, so there is some consistency there.

Keep going  :lol:

Thanks for the great work! I like the second set logos.

I'd prefer to not to have the blueish border on top. My idea is to have a transparent logo top which gradually becomes opaque towards the middle of the logo. :)

The reflection effect is very nice. Like Morten already said with JGM's version, I'm not 100% happy with the font, the C (and the B, too) look a bit weird, but other than that, the first and third variation of your samples are very pleasing. I'd go for the first one, personally.

I am sending my very simple rectangular splash screen.

Format: PNG, uses transparency for a gradient effect.
Size: 480x140 px
Fonts used: Arial Black and Arial. The release number and svn revision number can be drawn over the splash screen at run-time.

Splash screen without, and with, the version number, attached to post.
The additional space in the bottom can be used for messages that show the progress during start-up (i.e., Loading plugin "Compiler/Debugger", etc.).

Regards.

I really like the first one of this second set (but also the third one is good, even if the bottom-right corner is too much "brilliant" for me).
Thank you for your great job!

Just for fun, I've quickly pasted code robot's modified cubes into this one. Only a very rough sketch, but seems to fit in very well, nevertheless.

Indeed, funnily I had the same thoughts: The logo of code robot (as I like it very much, too) and the effects / colours here. Nice combination. Question is: Who would get the credits...?! :lol:

Anyways: Keep in mind there will be a poll where all users can vote.
