You should consider a "splash screen bundle"
I know the splash screen is one of those subjects which get often discussed. Some people like it, some people don't like it and quite frankly I think you guys made a good choice to allow us to change the splash screen into something more neutral (even though I'd love an option to chose a splash screen of my own, even if you'd only get a pre-made selection).
But the thing is; there are splash screens which are truly pieces of art. And by that I'm referring to the fact that it can trigger a reaction in people. It doesn't matter if that reaction is positive or negative, bottom line is that the splash screen triggered a reaction. Which is in many cases something art manages to do.
Now, as I also stated in another thread, I really liked the previous splash screen (for the record; I'm referring to the one with the Undead Fiend which is handing a glowing ring to a female elven figure who's wearing the Lorella fantasy outfit and has the Lady Elf hair for Genesis).
I liked it so much that I bought all of those products because of it. A purchase which I completed yesterday by grabbing the Stephanie 5 starter bundle because it's based on Genesis (see the hair definition above) and I really think Riley makes a lovely Elven maiden (which is included in mentioned bundle!).
Ok, to get to the point...
You guys provide so many quality bundles; why not consider to provide a "splash screen bundle" which would give us everything we need to re-create (render) the splash screen ourselves?
So in the example above it would be a fantasy kind of bundle which consists of (obviously) the undead fiend, lorella fantasy outfit, the lady elf hair and the background scenery. I have no idea who the elven figure is so I can't mention her. Better yet; add a pro bundle which could contain the actual scenery, that would be really cool. Something comparable to what you did with the Fiery Genesis tutorial.
Of course I'm writing all of this up because I really liked the previous splash screen. But I also honestly think it could be a win-win situation for you guys as well as us customers. I'd honestly buy into a splash screen bundle which would allow me to re-create that piece of art I mentioned above.
What do you think?

there was a request for this months ago on mantis bug tracker but that system was replaced with zen desk which currently does not allow users to see other bugs and requests. the last thing I recall was Daz3d were considering this but looking at the change log up to version 4.6.2.43? which is not publicly available I don't see anything with the splash screen happening.
The blender community sometimes gets into an uproar over splash screens even though blender has the ability to just shut it off from the preferences. I think DS should at the very least have that option if it can be implemented by the devs.
