--- Comment #9 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the options in the design meeting (and in the Telegram channel).

Options are:

   + a) drop the splash screen completely
   + b) toggle --nologo switch into --showlogo (and disable the spash by that)
   + c) add an additional (expert) option to do hide splash
   + d) keep as it is

Most people like Timur believe the -nologo switch is sufficient (some agree
with the more modern presentation and the less benefit of the splash screen at
all). Many applications still have a logo, see Andreas' comment. While removing
the splash screen gives the impression of a faster start-up we loose design,
branding, and feedback (consider the start-up procedure stops at some point).

I will bring it up to the ESC assuming it's a WF.
