A good logo should be recognized immediately. The bird is the only one
here that is somewhat unique. I don't know how it represents the "LyX
brand" and it may be more a mascot than a logo, but in my opinion we
should not change the logo unless we get one that is really
professionally designed.
In the meanwhile it may however be a good idea to stick to a single logo
instead of the current logo and banner. If the bird is combined with the
word LyX I would prefer the typeface to be more simple instead of the
rotated/colorful letters of the banner. Just as an example, I attached a
splash screen design with the logo that I think looks more professional.

Very nice splash screen, looks very modern. Also, it combines the bird
and still makes a new layout. What typeface did you use? One
possibility would be to use some LaTeX font for the written stuff (if
you have not done yet, can not really tell), to have some kind of link
to the typical LyX output right at the start of the program...
