Is the same splash screen going to be used?
Yes. We will be continuing our practice of only introducing new splash screens for minor revisions, not point releases.
Could the lettering be adjusted so it looks a bit less like "Draw Frilley"
I'm exaggerating but the joined up writing makes it very difficult to know what the slogan is unless you already know.
Hmm, we've been using that cursive logotype for a while in various contexts (it's even on the teeshirts) and nobody's complained or had to ask what it said until now.
A lack of comments doesn't mean there isn't anything there, and people who know the slogan is draw freely can put two and two together and relise what the cursive means.
I'm just used to not being able to read other peoples handwriting so figured I'd mention it.
Is there something with this specific context?
The two 'ee' s are barely distinguishable from the 'l' I just think it could be clearer if there was a slightly bigger loop for the 'e'
quicker to make the quick tweaks and show you than talk about it further http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~horkana/inkscape/about2.svg
I lengthened the 'l' slightly adjusted the angle and made the e a bit fatter (putting a hole in the e loop would take longer but I'll do it if requested)
