v2 (current)

  • Author: Sami Ahmed (generated with AI assistance, 2026-07-15)
  • Composition: CAC3 medal mark (centered, gold rim with reeded edge, grizzly bear + lone red star on cream face), six California landmark photos in a 3×2+1 grid (Golden Gate, downtown LA skyline, Hollywood sign, Bixby Creek Bridge, lifeguard tower at sunset, classic lowrider, palm grove at dusk), CALIFORNIACOIN wordmark, CAC3 — The Crypto for Real Riders tagline.
  • Palette: Red ground with gold/sunset accents. Whole poster tied together by a unified sunset-golden-hour palette.

Wiring into the wallet

When the C++ source lands, this image is the drop-in for the boot splash:

Wallet target File to write
src/qt/res/splash.png (Qt boot splash) convert splash-v2.png → resize to 800×600 → write
src/qt/res/splash@2x.png (HiDPI) 1600×1200
src/qt/res/splash_testnet.png distinct splash for testnet (todo)

For now the splash is shipped as art only — wallet build wiring is a downstream step.
