EU OS themed splash screen: ideas, status, development

Continuing the discussion from Let's prepare at POC: "EU OS" KDE Plasma workstation for the EU public administration:

For “EU OS”, I want to add few desktop customisations to demonstrate the workflows and possibities. I want to start with an EU-themed splashscreen.

EU OS Plasma Splashscreen

My current idea is to have an early concept of a logo, export them to a few static SVGs and possibly add some little bit of animation via QML. Unfortunately, I have not worked with QML yet.

Your ideas for the logo and the splashscreen would be greatly appreciated.

Logo idea so far

Inkscape SVG: https://people.physik.hu-berlin.de/~rriemann/eu-os/logo-2024-12-20.svg

I would try to make the cursors move around OS in the splash screen and add some background with gradient blue to milkyway purple (because I like purple!)

You will want to have your own version of this repo (alongside packaging) with your logos. The filenames matter, as they are used within software in Fedora to get branding.
