Maybe it is as simple as displaying the splash screen in greyscale...
What about something like this:

if version_cycle == "Alpha":
  display_the_splash_in_grey_scale(saturation=0.1) #Almost black&white

see: http://pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=a18beb5d36f5dfd320f091278489a294

That would be automatic.
Just a stupid thought before coffee :)

We could consider adding a new splash at the start of the release cycle,

to always have the same splash.

Hi Antonio,

What you propose is not really solving the problem. To have a new
splashscreen from 2.81 and still use the 2.80 splashscreen for 2.82
(master) would be even more strange in my opinion.

In a way what we have now is no different than having a stable Blender with
a splash, and master with the same one. Which is how we did for ages,
without any major complication.

So initially the plan is to change the splash only when we enter bcon5. You
do see a different alpha/beta version in the splashscreen, and that will
have to suffice for now.

All that said, I actually believe that the true reason to change the splash
at the very last moment is because there is a lot of expectations in regard
to that. So it is nice to align the hype of the splash reveal with the
release of a new version of Blender.

Regards,
Dalai

Hi all,

Until now, when we had a version, the splash was changed at the end when
the release was made. With the new way of working, the version is changed
at the beginning and appears in the splash, and we follow the development
in the master branch. The release of the previous one has its own branch
(blender-v2.81-release).

If we decide that master is the new version (in this case 2.82), the
logical thing would be to change the splash at the same time that the
version change is made, so the developing version would have a different
splash. Now it is very strange to have a different version in the splash,
but with the same image from the previous version. Perhaps that splash
could be the definitive of 2.82 or something more generic like the one we
used during the development of 2.80.

This is just an idea that I wanted to share with you to see the different
opinions. Anyway, if you think it is not necessary, forget it.

Regards,
Antonio Vazquez
