Thanks for doing the voting page Martin. There seem to be 4 main components to the splash screen decisions:
1) Which image to use (we seem to be narrowing that down a lot) 2) Which font (unless we are set now with Fira Sans for the sans serif font) 3) Whether to use upper or lower case 4) Where to put the text on the image For myself, I like the grassy world in color, the Fira Sans/Garramond fonts the lower case for grass gis and probably the text across the bottom of the image so the map aspect of the grassy world image can be better seen Since this combination doesn’t exist, I’m not yet sure how best to express this on the page. But all that said, and as much as I am in favor of our democratic procedures over all, I’m not sure voting will give the best graphic design. So maybe voting should be advisory, with Vincent having final say so? Michael ____________________ C.

Hi, 2015-01-30 15:13 GMT+01:00 Vincent Bain <b...@toraval.fr<mailto:b...@toraval.fr>>: I fear it is an endless discussion anyway. Objectivity is hard to reach in that domain of graphic design. this is what we need to avoid. RC2 is waiting for a new splash and welcome banner. I can see three candidates [1]. Please free add new candidates, it would be nice to launch voting during weekend and than to move on to RC2 on the beginning of the next week, what do you think?
