The ostrich (because it draws a smile everytime I see it, besides being amazingly realistic) and the three spheres just above, where there’s simplicity and taste.
Imagine:
Open up Blender, and the ostrich comes up, looking all like: “Yo, wassup?”
I like moxiecrimefight’s render, a lot.
It will perfectly work as a splash screen.
I vote for this one 
I like this one for it’s simplicity while being refined at the same time.
Car isn’t somethink special… all softwares can make cars… but when you see tsunami you think holyshit! i can make such VFX? like in hollywood movies…

Here’s some of my stuff, I’m not sure I have the .blend of them though.
I dont know if this will do (maybe simplicity will work 
hope so

Hey guys, gust my 2 cents: While simplicity does look great on a splash screen, I really think that we want to have an image that shows the power of Blender, not something that almost any lower quality 3D application can do. (not saying your guy’s works are low quality, don’t misunderstand)
That said, I really like the ostrich and the tsunami. Great work guys!
power is not enough and not easy , “creativity is the water that will extinguish the fire of the power”
In that case, most of the images from the UV sculpting thread will blow anyone away.
well then whoop de doo! that’s cool if they get blown away. we want something amazing right?
Hehe already on splash format and everything

It was one of the candidate splash for 2.65 
Thanks ctdabomb for mentioning it!
Hey Andrew,
any chance you guys could narrow it down to 3 that we could vote on for the final one (in the Blender community spirit =) ?
I vote this one!
@ Eyeliner,
Imagine:
Open up Blender, and the ostrich comes up, looking all like: “Yo, wassup?” --------- this made me laugh pretty good, and its so true!
I agree! This look awesome!!
My picture is not as professional as the others, but I hope simple ones are good, too.
Because I can’t attach any file (I don’t know why 
), here’s a link to the uploaded file.
