I find it great that you're working on something like this, too, but I
still prefer the mockup that I have worked on and released on the Wiki a
while back. Have you taken a look at it? I think that the one I made is
nicely consistent with the human colors and default user interface skin.
You can see my proposal at the bottom of this page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Usplash/Artwork#preview
I mainly think that it's important to stick to a black background in
order to make a clear visual distinction between startup and the actual
running system while retaining a good link with the human colors.
Maybe we should make a sort of wikipage in which we list some
propositions for an improved usplash theme and then vote on which one we
should work on for edgy. I feel that like this, we're just working
beside each other and that's never a good thing.
PS: I just saw that bug you linked to that asks for the usplash logo to
be reverted to the old one. I completely agree. Who made that ugly
usplash 0.2 logo, anyway? Who authorized it? That was probably the worst
design decision ever.
