It looks like Edubuntu's reflection is cut off or largely missing on the left, 
is this correct? The Kubuntu logo isn't as shiny as the others it seems, and 
the different colors in the wheel-logo might be the cause of that, could you 
try a "one-color" version of Kubuntu? It also looks the gradient is a bit 
sharp now, with only two colors in it, split equally.

I'm probably nitpicking here, but I'm just trying to help you improve the 
splashes.

I'm aware of the limitations of usplash, but I tried my best to come up 
something good that is possible without changing the bootsplash system. I'm 
not asking to decrease compatibility or aiming for full 16-bit high res 
images, just pushing the technology we have.

With kind regards,
