Here is a template:

and here is a mock up of how it would look during install:

As you can see in the mockup, the text is crammed pretty tight at 12pt sans. Bold is more readable, but takes up more room. I suggest black for the title, charcoal for the main text and blue for the url.
OK ... that looks pretty good. Let's go with it. (Thanks for taking the time :)
I'd also suggest making as many graphics as possible non version specific. That way we don't have to edit 10 of these each release. I don't really think it's worth investing the time, as you only see these splash screens once. It's better to make them generic and professional looking.
Agreed ... none of the them will have CentOS-4.2 or CentOS-3.6, etc.
Only 3 of the ones so far have any version info, and that is the docs, centosplus, and the welcome screen ... they mention CentOS 4 ... which should be OK throughout the lifetime of CentOS-4.x (till 2012). The other 4 are totally generic and could be used by any centos project.
I am going to do some text for a couple more slides, one for CentOS 4 CS/GFS. Then I will modify the text a little for the 4 CentOS-4 specific ones (as new pix) for CentOS-3.
After these are finished, we should not need to make any mods to any of them between releases.
OK, I did some text for a couple more pix here ... and that should be enough to do us for a while :)
