Summary

Create a new branding for the next version of LibreOffice, which, technology-wise, leaves a lot of cruft behind. This should be reflected by the new artwork.

See the former splash screen and start center whiteboards for further specifications.

All submissions must be original work, and you must be okay with releasing it under a dual LGPL v3/MPL license, if not under CC0.

Splash Screen

Please try out your splash screen before you submit it. Be aware that it must be rectangular and opaque (no alpha transparency). If you're using Linux, to try out your splash screen, name your splash "intro.png", place it in your home folder, and execute the command "sudo cp intro.png /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/" in the Terminal.

You might also want to edit the look of the progress indicator. For details on that, see this page.
