The splash screen for Blender 2.69 has just been committed to trunk - here's the image you'll be seeing a LOT over the next few months :) We expect 2.69 RC to be released soon! (Hat tip to Sebastian König)

No exposed brain! What a relieve!
Hmm, nice image, there are a lot of emotions and mystery here...
ehehehe!!
We had that creepy brain staring at us all single day for too long!! 2.65 was a relief!
ah spoiler alert
Great ! :)
Looks great, can't wait for 2.69. Well I could but don't want to. ;)
Nice splash ! I did not even expected that beautiful image and for great news !
A good reason to tick the "show splash" box !
I think 3D Blender 2.9 is bringing some great improvements.
The splash should be equally great..
in my opinion this splash do not represents 2.9 greatness.
Yep! 2.9 will be a great version.
But for now I'll be happy with 2.69.
Hey! No 69 jokes?!
you are so mean ;)
but seriously why is it always a dark photo and a dark theme?
bright up this thing its better for the eyes "meaning healthier" i think.
'Kay.
Sorry to drag the topic into this thread TOO, but I can't help imagining those kids as the poor scared Blender first-timers Andrew is talking about:) "Holy macaroni guys, look at all those buttons..."
But seriously, I really like the choice!
The image itself is very nice, but yet again it reinforces the impression that Blender is a toy for making bug-eyed Shrek-like characters, when it so much more.
I had not paid attention to it but now that you mention it, yes, you're right.
the splash screen needs to reflect what the software is capable of doing and the fact that the image comes from an animated short made with the software doesn't reinforce anything negative, I think it shows versatility and capability which is what I'm looking for in a 3D package.
Not just an animated short... a 100 minute feature-length movie! Can't find anything about its release date.
So yes, I'd say the message of this splash screen is that Blender can do a feature-length animated film.
It has more than enough to make any CG movie you want.
beautiful image!
The previous splash was way better imo, although I'm pretty excited for the new version.
