The splashscreen is shared across both Ubuntu and Kubuntu, so it needs to look reasonable on both desktops. We deliberately went with a B&W basis, with both blue and orange hints, to reflect that. Am happy to take additional suggestions as long as they reflect the need to look good on both Ubuntu and Kubuntu. Those suggestions should be on the Art Team wiki pages and discussed on ubuntu-art mailing list.
