I've been handling artwork, including splash screens, for a while now.
I actually have worked on a splash screen with similar Tango theming to
the Gnumeric one you post for 2.6 (our next major release). Due to our
great cross-platform (and cross-locale) nature, there are a few issues
with using a very similar splash screen for AbiWord (written text that
is not essential or cross-language, reference to GNOME, micro version
number listed in art). You're welcome to make something, but know that
if you don't, I'm more than happy to make a Tango-ified splash screen
for AbiWord, and will keep your design in mind for unity's sake.

PS. See www.cleardefinition.com/oss/abi for my work - I haven't yet
update the page with my Tango designs for the splash since they are
still in the formative stages, but look at our bugzilla at
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/ for a general idea, since I did the
banner redesign on that.
