Design a BRL-CAD splash screen #5BRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 96 hrs Mentors: Mihai Neacsu, Mandeep KaurTags: image, GUI, 2D, design, graphics, logo, splash screenBeginner

 

 

BRL-CAD's new modeling interface, archer, displays a splash screen when you start the program.  This is what it currently looks like:

http://svn.code.sf.net/p/brlcad/code/brlcad/trunk/src/tclscripts/archer/images/aboutArcher.png

There are several problems with that image.  It uses our old logo.  It references the wrong website.  It has a massive pointless ""icon"".  It proclaim's archer being trademarked (distracting).

Your task is to design a completely new splash screen that has none of those problems, is visually interesting, optionally incorporates our new logo, and optionally references our main website (brlcad.org).

Check out some of the other design tasks for inspiration.  Make yours look even more impressive, artistically interesting. ;)

Submit your image in whatever raw working format you use (e.g., psd), preferably something with layers in case we need to change anything, but also submit a final png image as well.

You can refer below links for logo:

That looks great! On the right side you have some gray layers that overlap each other. Can you add another version where one of those layers has the same red colour as in the logo? I think it would balance the whole thing a bit better.
