Okay, we've been having an active discussion on the Ubuntu-Art list about this, and I posted a pretty good one that I made (which I shall attach to this bug).
The new one I made is simliar design wise to the current one, but has a redone gloss effect and better intergration style wise to the new desktop design. ** Attachment added: "Viper550's Usplash Artwork" http://librarian.launchpad.net/2614048/usplash_viper550.png -- Regression in usplash artwork https://launchpad.net/bugs/44339 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
