[Scribus] Alternate Scribus Logo, Splashscreen, Icons

[Paul Davidson]

Thanks for the comments, everyone.  I've made a "darker" version of the logo and splashscreen, you can find them in "scribusdark.tar.gz": 
http://www.hiddenfortress.net/clients/scribus/
http://www.hiddenfortress.net/clients/scribus/files/scribusdark.tar.gz (the exact file link)

Again, just overwrite the files in /usr/local/lib/scribus/icons/.

Petr: I might do a Noia version later; right now, this icon is part of a larger KDE icon set I'm working on. 

>Did you create this in scribus? 

Danny: no, Scribus, being a desktop publishing program, isn't really appropriate for complex raster or vector graphics. The splashscreen was made in Photoshop, the icon in Illustrator.  I do look forward to the day when I'll be able to use open source applications to make this sort of thing.

Craig: I exported the SVG file from Illustrator, in case anyone had a use for it. Supposedly KDE kind of works with SVG icons, though I haven't figured out how. But I'm not sure Illustrator made the SVG file properly.

And here I was purposely avoiding garish, XP-style, retina-burning day-glo colours! :)
