If you want your image to be the official splash screen of the AstroBin app, please submit it here by sharing a link to its AstroBin page!

A "splash screen" is what you see when you open an app and it's loading. I would like to have an astrophotograph with the AstroBin logo in the middle.

Please keep in mind that the AstroBin logo will be somewhere in the middle, so your submission needs to be compatible with that idea, aesthetically.

And please, only one submission per person, thank you!

Thanks!
Salvatore

It's going to be a static image each time? Have you considered cycling IOTD/TP?

How about a rule that will periodically determine what the splash image is, based on certain KPIs such as views or likes? (Unless it’s incompatible)

Unfortunately the splash screen needs to be static and built at compile time. It's probably possible to have a dynamic image, but the purpose of the splash screen is show for a second while the app loads, and adding the fetching of an image sort of defeats the point.

I could do a random image selected from a large pool, but this complicates this a lot especially from the point of view of supporting multiple devices, and that's probably not something I'm gonna have time to address.

Then a galaxy field would be most fitting.

I think a colorful wide field would look really nice. Unfortunately, I don't have any to offer.

Sorry about that, Salvatore! That’s the end of my submissions. As you can imagine, it’s hard to pick just one. Especially when allowing for the centered logo. Eddie is right. Wide field would look impressive without upstaging the artwork. Have you got a new logo?  Would love to design a fresh one if you’d like to open up that can of worms!

It may need to be rotated for the splash screen, but I think it would work well.

Thanks for mentioning this Dave! Personally I think that AstroBin’s logo is pretty amateurish as I did it myself in a pinch back when I started 14 years ago.

I would love to see if you got some ideas, perhaps without investing too much of your time. Thank you!
