I agree. My girlfriend had a suggestion, could we get some design student

Sounds like a great idea.
Any ideas on how we find such a person?
She gives the old splash screen a grade of 1 (out of 5), and yours get a
grade of 3. So it's certainly an improvement!
I agree with these grades. This is just a quick example I made in a few
minutes, not a final proposal for a new design or anything like that.
Based on what you wrote in another post, you seem to know way more about
this stuff than I do, and I think that if you did some more tweaking on
that splash screen it'd get quite good. I hope you'll do so!
Oh, a minor point. It wasn't that easy to see what the thing in the
background is. Is it supposed to be a stack of papers?
And perhaps the 'Y' in LyX could be a little bit higher up?
What software did you use to create the image?
Anyway, writing down her comments I've certainly learnt a lot. Most
importantly that there can actually be some thinking involved in creating
stuff like this!
Yes. Personally I think a nice website and logo are quite important. Of
course many developers and current users just care about the quality of
the software, but effective marketing can attract new users and
developers and generate more activity and interest. Products like
Mozilla Firefox have become very popular because of good advertising
combined with good software.
I agree.
