Hello my fellow Blenders!

The day is finally upon us, with a new release comes a new chance for you guys to dazzle the blender community with your artwork.

Update: The Deadline has been pushed back. The new deadline for sending in images is:
August 7th, 2011

Here’s the template:

or
http://download.blender.org/demo/test/splash_template_2.50.xcf
Please post the final image here as .png file

Rules:

it has to be made entirely in Blender (image textures created in Gimp/Photoshop can be used)
keep the title area free, make your picture fit in the given space below
don’t use the blender logo
don’t use other logos either
don’t use suzanne
you can use old works, or make completely new ones
you can participate with more than one image, but,
do not make millions of variations of the same idea,
just make a good one
it has to look awesome
post your works on this thread
unicorns optional
keep the thread clean, post entries and questions about the competition only

Thanks, and best of luck! =)

The Jury (@hjalti, @BenSimonds and @reynantem) will pick the best/most interesting image.

Why not make a singe thread for ALL blender versions, with no deadline and the splash would be picked from the thread every time a new version comes?

Its about a frog, to lazy to use his tongue, but use technology instead
Enjoy.

Edit:
I didnt found any information wether its okay to place links in the image, but i have seen a lot of links in previous splash screens, so i hope its okay. If you want me to, i can of course add a version without.
