RE: [e4-dev] e4 0.9 splash screen?

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Some form of animation should be possible,
but I think a 90MB HD video isn't going to be practical. I wasn't able
to get a smooth video showing without halting the startup sequence, which
sort of defeats the purpose of the splash. If the video runs concurrently
with the startup sequence (which needs periodic access to the UI thread),
the animation is quite choppy. Ben is experimenting with a different approach
that iterates through a sequence of static images, which is looking much
nicer. See discussion in bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=280462.

Me too, it's very nice! 

OK if we're serious about this we'd need to sort out the legal.  I
looked at the terms and while they're pretty permissive, this one concerns
me: 

http://www.pond5.com/index.php?page=legal&agr=rfla

3.4	Trademarks

        Licensee shall not incorporate the Licensed Content into a logo, trademark or service mark.

The splash screen feels close to that, though not exactly.

All that aside, I gather from John that animation in the splash may not be technically possible (?).

I'm lurking on this list, but I want to say that I really like the animated
splash screen you just posted. Very good work. I think there is something
missing. I think it would be really cool if there was even more spacey
sci-fi feel. Like the latest Star Trek movie - with a lens flare ;-) I
did a quick search and found some stock video (available for $$$) that
looks like something I was envisioning:

Here is a first attempt of a shiny animated splashscreen http://www.benjamin-cabe.com/e4/e4-splashR.htm

Suggestions are very welcome!

Good idea, another suggestion for an animation would be the shine effect,
often used in Movie/Game trailers.
See http://www.trapcode.com/products_shine.html
or 
http://www.gfx-sector.de/Videtutorial-Adobe-After-Effects-Shine-Effect.t25455.html

An Eclipse with shine effect would be lovely J

What about an animated splash? I think that animation (done non-cheesey,
not limking/flashing but something subtle) would go some ways towards upping
the 'ooooh' factor...something like:

Opens with the regular galileo splash but then 'cross fades' to a similar
image but with four points of light aroung the edges of the eclipse (google
"Bailey's beads", this is an actual artifact of an eclipse...;-)
as the 'eclipse' fodes over into 'e4'...

What about using thw existing Eclipse logo, but make it the shape of a
cloud (and replace "Eclipse" with "e4". This could indicate e4 is a bit
fuzzy, still some vapour and give hint of cloud computing?

Do we have an Eclipse logo without the Eclipse name, to start from?
