Karmic Boot Experience
Ubuntu Karmic will get a whole new, shiny and flicker-free boot experience. In other words, the sequence of events between switching on your computer and your desktop session will be largely redeveloped and redesigned.
New stuff includes:
* grub 2, which will be silent, only accessible on-demand (by holding down Shift during Bootloader initialization)
* KMS-powered experiences for the initial boot splash, password encrypted filesystem and disk-check
* Graphical boot splash that will be running on top of X-server, not Usplash
* Graphical OS Switcher available by pressing ESC during the startup sequence, also running on top of X
- GDM 2.
Concept
The standard boot sequence will not include Usplash any longer, instead, the X-session will be started right away. Therefore, the graphical boot splash screen will have the whole X-stack available, including hardware acceleration...
Fresh, innovative concepts is what we're looking for (in-line with Ubuntu branding of course!), in particular regarding the graphical boot splash (spinners, animations, artwork, etc.).

This is simple circle that glows into red. This idea was once for New Wave usplash but I had no time and knowledge how to realize it so if you find use of it I'll be very glad. --AntonKerezov

David Z's Loading Animation
After reading some simple email responses Iv decided to try this. It is a simple picture of the ubuntu logo with a progress bar, the background is a websafe #333 dark gray. My goal for this gif was 'lite'. ~David Zondlo

- David Z's animation looks nice to me, it think that adding a text, focusing on the animal, and lowering the saturation of the progress bar will improve this. currently, the progressbar calls the attention, so, we want the image to call our attention.

Where I can see the animation? -- AntonKerezov
African Sunrise
In this idea the boot process shows an African sunrise, where the sun indicates the progress.

I really like this idea. The colours of the sky should change though as the sun rises. -- flimm 2009-06-29 16:16:02

Nice animation I like it. Would be natural next step to the current usplash with more effects. --AntonKerezov
- I love this idea. The logo should fade in piece by piece at first (Like it does now) and then pulse in order from then on instead on blanking and then fading in again. --Washburnello
Mr.doob's boot
Quick mockup. Tried to have it as simple and elegant as possible. The actual boot loading was a good start I think. If the people like this style I can develop it and create the login panels and so on. --mr.doob

- Best boot I've ever seen in my life. The way you did the ubuntu logo, and the gradients just make it look very professional and clean. Definately the best splash on this page. I hope this one goes through. While I'm at it, there should be both a widescreen and fullscreen version of this. I think they are trying to get that working properly. Great job! --natewiebe13
- This is a great mock-up, and I hope it gets included somehow in the final release. This may not work, but I thought that adding a slight hint of brown or orange to the background gradient would make it look more at home in ubuntu. --dstansby
