These are fun images, but the desktop icon has been Yoshimi's 'identity' since 2009 and is well known, so I don't think changing it would be a good idea.
However, we've never had a splash screen so just about anything goes.
We are thinking of something like 400x300 pixels for the final image, and the desktop icon (or a representation of it) needs to appear somewhere.
We've had one idea suggesting a top line of just "Yoshimi" with the robot head to the right, but with the eye 'pupils' shifted so it seems to be worriedly looking at the text. I quite like that myself as it creates a nice link to the way it came about, but as I said, the field is wide open.
As well as the image looking good and getting the viewers attention, we want it as clear as possible what Yoshimi actually is! Ideas we are also trying to promote are ease of use, exceptional quality of sound, great flexibility.
It would also be helpful if the lower part of the image had relatively clear space that could be over-written with progress/status information - we don't actually have any, but it might get added later.
Phew!
I know that's asking a lot, so we'll happily accept any 2 features out of a dozen :D
