ok, after that criticism i'll try and actually make some constructive
suggestions ;)

why not just have the Ubuntu logo, eg sans "ubuntu" in the splash?

the user already knows they are running an OS called 'Ubuntu' at that stage as
they've seen the name in the bootsplash. in this way use of the name in
the GDM splash is redundant, providing us with an opportunity to push forward a
second stage of familiarity, that of 'brand' recognition.

by just featuring the logo itself in the GDM splash could give first encounters with 
Ubuntu, from grub to desktop, a greater sense of self-confidence, keeping words (names)
'out-of-the-picture' where unnecessary. in some cases the K.I.S.S model
can serve design outcomes well and i think this is one of these cases.
