Re: [libreoffice-design] Remove SplashScreen

Italo, our branding is pretty clear in LibreOffice’s Start Center
(also one of the first things users see), icons, and About screen. I
don’t know why you think is “weak” (whatever that means) as we’ve got
coverage in many of the world’s news sources.

(Look, I have a reason to call our branding “weak”: TDF decided to
unilaterally put there a meaningless, in-your-face number “5”, and
throw away our brand colors, without consulting designers who
submitted designs.)

If we’re to keep an obsolete UI paradign such as the splash screen, it
should at least be minimal, as Mirek suggested years ago [1]
