Ok, the success of Microsoft is based on a large number of things, but take a
look at the following web site:

http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/

http://www.eclipse.org/

http://www.netbeans.org/

When I first saw these sites my thought was "Hey, what a professional
environment !!!". This is not what I have thought looking at MD site.
I'm sorry. 
My proposal for the new MD logo and splash screen is just an attempt to improve
the "look and feel" of MonoDevelop "universe".
