The
“GIMP” is the brand. It should dominate the artwork. (Note:
Splash is a brand image. It is not a fine arts work that we can stare
for hours. It is on the screen for a short period of time. Therefore
it should be simple, otherwise, its massage gets lost) The release
number is unimportant. A couple months and it will be 3.00 and so on
and so forth. Therefore, the brand name (Gimp) should be bigger, it
should dominate the artwork and the release number waaaay smaller.
Put somewhere at the end of the Gimp text. Centering everything is
boring. Also ask yourself, does the white background add anything to
the artwork; wouldn't it be better without that?
Every
artwork (doesn't matter fine arts or design arts) has a strong
hierarchical structure. No element should be there without function.
Every element should support the main concept, otherwise the elements
start competing for attention and the message gets lost.
