Who is your audience? This image may appeal to the pimply-faced youth 
crowd, but fails to give any impression to the quality of POV-Ray as a 
renderer. Quite honestly the colors appear washed out, and the image 
looks as if it was tossed together hastily, by simply adding a geometric 
  figure, and a winged poser model over a body of generic 
silvery-looking water. And why is the image dithered? Are there still 
systems that only support 256 color images?

A splash screen should be bright and interesting, give the user a good 
first impression. This would only serve to drive me away and wonder what 
happened to the "good old days" of POV-Ray.

I sincerely hope this is a joke, and if so .... I don't get it. What did 
I miss?
