Yeah I like the splash Screens from Adobe too. I don’t like the NB splash Screens, my personal Thing. Thats why I try to bring a new one in.
Yeah the idea was to create a ticket for a contest, but I don’t know the rules. We can create a ticket and add all ideads to it. I would prefer a splash Screen without the logo, because if we will have a logo rebrand too, it will be much better to have it not in there, the red-lined circle doesn’t look nice, it Looks more as a hack than wanted, because of the cutted White edges. This is very weird. Maybe we will have splash Screens without the text. So we will see. Regards Chris Von: Emilian Bold Gesendet: Freitag, 30.

The main site is a bit old, but we always had nice modern looking splash screens. Take a look here: http://imgur.com/a/HatRH I particularly like 7.0 http://imgur.com/ZVH8RB7 and 6.5 http://imgur.com/ZKajQPp I like Material design but not the splash screens submitted so far. The v1 Kopie 3 wave is nice but I don't like the palette. If we are serious about getting a new splash screen, we should start a contest and promote the idea more. I bet there are a lot of designers that would want to have such a feat in their portfolio. We could also spend some donated money and submit a proposal to one of the many design crowd-sourcing sites for more splash screens. --emi On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 3:52 PM, Christian Lenz <christian.l...@gmx.net> wrote: > I played a bit more with some Random Background pattern Generators: > http://btmills.github.io/geopattern/ > http://dragdropsite.github.io/waterpipe.js/ > https://www.templatemonster.com/blog/free-background-generators/ > > > and here is the result.
